I would bet this isn't going to work. I used to run PC NetLink (as an
alternative to samba.) There were some registry changes (signorseal)
that would let XP machines join a PCNL domain but they never worked with
Win 2003. And that was with WIn 2003 as a domain member not a server.
If you google "XP signorseal" it you should find the settings I mean.
My guess is your time would be better spent replacing the server then
trying to get the old setup working.
Alternately you could download Samba 3.x from SunFreeware, already
compiled for Solaris 8. But I am pretty sure that Samba 2.x uses
smbpasswd as a backend by default and I don't know if Samba 3.x supports
that anymore. (Pretty sure it doesn't- but you may be able to convert.)

convenient to join a Windows Domain with a 2003 R2 DC. (saving about 1 month of

joining a Windows 2K AD, but no success:
