Win RSAT can't find DHCP server

Hi,

I set up a samba Active Directory Domain Controller as per this Wiki page..
I can join Windows PCs to the domain, get an IP from the DHCP server and get to the internet - all great.

What is not working is administering the DHCP server from Windows, using the recommended Windows RSAT tools..
I have set up the same thing using Ubuntu 15.10 before and everything, including administering DHCP worked.

The error message RSAT gives me, after I add the server to the dhcp control page, is "DHCP might not be running on this server".

How do I debug this? Below is my dhcp.conf for reference:

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
  authorative;
  range 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.200;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
  option routers 192.168.1.1;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.251;
  option domain-name "some.tld";
  default-lease-time 600;
  max-lease-time 6000;

  on commit {
    set ClientIP = binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address);
    set ClientName = pick-first-value(option host-name, host-decl-name);
    execute("/usr/bin/dhcpd-update-samba-dns.sh", "add", ClientIP, ClientName);
  }

  on release {
    set ClientIP = binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address);
    set ClientName = pick-first-value(option host-name, host-decl-name);
    execute("/usr/bin/dhcpd-update-samba-dns.sh", "delete", ClientIP, ClientName);
  }

    on expiry {
    set ClientIP = binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address);
    set ClientName = pick-first-value(option host-name, host-decl-name);
    execute("/usr/bin/dhcpd-update-samba-dns.sh", "delete", ClientIP, ClientName);
  }

}
