Hi. According to the answer here (https://askubuntu.com/a/762892/101985) "Debian and Debian-derivatives changed the service name from 'samba' to 'smbd'". Thus it appears that they have fully masked samba.service in Ubuntu while smbd.service is working well. This is the case in my system now (Ubuntu 16.10). I have the "samba-ad-dc.service is masked" message while I have Samba functionality just fine.
