My first gut reaction is that it's a WINS problem. Since you have other DCs on your subnet, the suspect Win7 machines might be having a hard time when they see the other DC. Remember, Win7 was designed for active directory, so it will have a more difficult time with NT4 DOM deployments than Win XP. Try hard setting "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" in the machines WINS settings (you can also set this as a DHCP setting if you like). Also, manually key in the Samba server IP address as a WINS server (just for the test.). I would try this first and then move into looking at log files for Samba. Run the log level up to 7 and then examine the smbd log file during the authentication attempt. The log files are going to grow in size very quickly, so you'll want to do this when traffic is lowest. > We used to get around the problem by using locally built Samba 3.0.33, but > that's so full of other problems, we want to move on. Samba 3.0 was roughly 13 years ago. That's not a real good comparison and there's likely no relation to the problem then vs now.
