I tried something very very similar (but in english), it didn't work, 
what did work (and was a lot easier) was removing systemd.

I tried to get systemd to work with samba, I really, really tried, I 
just couldn't make it work, I tried various things for a couple of hours 
and couldn't make it work, just 5 mins to remove systemd, and samba now 
works.

I know what I will be doing in future.

OK, not really one to give up, I installed jessie in another VM and 
compiled samba 4.2 again and then tried to get samba & systemd to work 
together. I finally got systemd to start the samba daemons, OK what 
idiot decided that the program PIDs *MUST* go in /run ???? even though 
samba hardcodes them to go into /usr/local/samba/var/run.
