With CIFS you can only have an "either-or" configuration. Either "local users" (such as the default admin) OR AD users can be authenticated.

To enable authentication for AD users, you typically have to configure either the passthru or kerberos authentication subsystems and then set the respective subsystem to "authenticateCIFS", e.g. for passthru: passthru.authentication.authenticateCIFS=true

Since the default admin cannot authenticate on CIFS with passthru or kerberos, it is recommended to create / use an AD user as an additional admin. The default admin will only be used as a fallback then...
