[Samba] migrating samba to different machine

I tried migrating our samba settings from one machine to another, but
Windows sees it as a different server.
I currently have an older version of samba setup on an old machine. I
setup the latest version of samba on a different machine with different
build specs (e.g. acl support, etc.). I migrated over the
usernames/passwords and MACHINE.SID file (is this even used anymore?)
and setup smb.conf to have the same domain name and netbios name.
When I login as user XX to machine YY, instead of user XX's profile, it
creates a profile folder called XX.domain_name.
What are the requirements to be able to migrate from one machine to
another without losing anything? My smb.conf is slightly different
(purposefully - but only on things that should effect it acting as a
PDC).
Thanks.
