samba - Nov 2004 - %D returning machine name instead of domain/workgroup

I have a samba 3.0.8pre2 server in a "standalone server" mode which 
is replacing %D with the server's netbios name instead of workgroup.
I tested this with a root preexec script and connecting to that share
from a remote client in the same workgroup.

Is this expected? Would %D only be replaced with the domain/workgroup
name if the server were a PDC, BDC or domain member server?

The %D is the domain of the user. On a standalone server all the
user accounts belong to the \\SERVER domain.  If you want the
primary domain for all user accounts to be the workgroup name,
you will need to run a DC.
