They all return no output. These 10 other users are able to use the software with data contained in the share.

You need to check if the libnss-winbind links have been set up correctly and if /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd & group lines have winbind has one of the options. see here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_Samba_as_an_AD_Domain_Member I know that it is for a domain member, but the info is also relevant if you use the DC as a fileserver (note, this is not recommended).

Thank you, Rowland. :-) I understand my configuration is not optimal......i'm just a small-time operator trying to make do with my budget line item maximum. The good news is that samba 4 has been absolutely solid and seamless since the implementation in mid-July of 2015.
