The "samba" systemd service should not be enabled:

The samba service should be masked, like this:
# systemctl status samba
● samba.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)

If yours says otherwise, please mask it:
# systemctl mask samba
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/samba.service → /dev/null.

[Expired for samba (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
