We also tried to use the old MACHINE.SID file (from 2.0.0) with 2.0.3.
This does not help us however. Every time samba is started it seems to 
change the old MACHINE.SID file. There seems to be no way to upgrade
from 2.0.0 to 2.0.3 without touching all 27 clients. 

Any hint how to avoid touching the clients is very welcome.
