samba - May 2007 - Successful migration NT4->SAMBA3 domain, anyone?

Hello,
   I have simple question. Has anyone succeeded to migrate NT4 domain
with windows XP accounts to SAMBA3+LDAP domain?

 Our organization is very interested in doing this. We performed a
test migration, users' accounts
migrated without problems, but windows xp workstations can't login.

 I tried to find more information on this topic. What I found made me
to think that such clean migration (when there are windows xp domain
members) is not possible, after migration all
windows xp members will have to be rejoined manually. Is it true?

 I'll be very grateful if anybody could help me with this.

Thanks,

I migrate an NT4 domain a few week ago without problems.
But it was a small domain and the passdb backend was tdb, not ldap.

However, following the samba howto, I found one step missing in chapter 
36, procedure 36.1: maybe your domain  SID doesn't match the NT4's one.

Before "net rpc vampire", try to fetch the domain SID with "net
rpc
getsid", and then vampire users.

Just my 2 cents... :-)

We have done this.  It works quite well.  Follow the instructions in Samba
by Example.  Take it step by step.

There were somewhere between 20 and 30 XP pro machines.
