All, I have recently begun a migration form NT 4.0 DCs to W2K DCs. Users have a home folder defined on Windows that lives on a samba server that now maps inconsistently when using the W2K server as the password server. Everything works as expected when I use an NT BDC as the password server. We have been using this configuration for a couple of years, upgrading samba several times, but have only seen this problem when using a W2K DC. Additionally, the problem does not occur during off-hours testing. I plan to test security = domain to see if it resolves this problem but was wondering if anyone has an explanation.
