So I had this issue with older samba versions and even after samba 
upgrade. After I upraded to recent packages I needed to reset krbtgt 
account password and it finally solved it.

I'm not sure if it's the same issue, but check Your samba version and 
check when krbtgt account had it's last password change (or, at which 
samba version).

Here's good working example of resetting krbtgt account password:
