If you had to change that registry setting with version 3 of Samba, then
you had something else wrong in your setup (probabloy ldap related)
causing that problem. According to Andrew Bartlett, this has never been
required for any released version of Samba3.
In fact, apparently this is a major security risk to your network to
disable this setting:

This workaround hasn't been needed for a long time, although I don't
recall the specific version that fixed the need for it.
