Who granted you "domain admin" rights? SAMBA PDC? Win2k PDC?

What do you mean with "samba user"?
Generally speaking, if you have a useracccount at the samba PDC, set up
groupmapping stuff correctly, added yourself to the "Domain
Administrators" Group you should be "Administrator" on a Win2k/XP
box,
since the (samba)"Domain Adminitrators" Group is added to the local
"Administrators" Group. However you're still not allowed to join
the
machine to the domain, for this your (unix) UID number have to be 0
(i.e. you have to be root).

I'm still somewhat unclear about your setup, specifically your users ;)
