What is 'err 53' ?
What version of Windows 10 ? Some of them have guest access turned off 
by default and the only way to get guest access (even to a Samba server) 
is to turn it back on.

Why set the above line, this isn't a PDC

Again why ? only of any use if you are using network browsing and unless 
you are using an ancient version of Samba, you are not using SMBv1 that 
network browsing relies on.

The line above only makes sense if using SMBv1
