samba - May 2009 - Samba machine's account migration

Hello,

I moved my samba to another server, but my windows computer can't login.
I tested this: put win computer out of domain, and re-add it. But i loose my
personal application changes.

How can i allow windows computers to login to my samba domain ?
Should i create machines' account with the same linux ID ?

Really thanks for help,
Regards.

M?l.

I don't know if this helps or not but what I do is log into the Windows 
machine with a local administrator account then use the Windows Network 
Id dialogue to add the machine to the domain.

Right-click on My Computer, select "properties" then on the Computer 
Name tab click on Network Id.

Note that you need a working "add machine script" in your smb.conf. 
Debian uses "/usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c Machine -d /dev/null -s 
/bin/false %u".
