This is a FAQ (look up in the samba-FAQ and samba-NTDOM FAQ).

For short:
list all domain users, that should get administrator rights on the
workstations in a the following smb.conf-line:

domain admin group = administrator, sebb, shueltenschmidt, ...

solve the server persmissions by unix means, i.e. generate a unix group
for every NT group you had, put the users in the appropiate groups and
set the group-permissions and ownerships of the files on the new machine
accordingly. Everey UNIX- or Linux-introduction may be helpfull.
