[Samba] Problem with backup and initiation

I expect samba ships a unit file called samba-ad.service.

I expect this happens when you use the right switch for ./configure script:

samba-4.4.2# ./configure --help | grep systemd
  --with-systemd
            Enable systemd integration
  --without-systemd
            Disable systemd integration
