To make Win2K joined the Samba Domain, you must have Win2K Domain the same
as Samba PDC-Domain.
In Win2K, it's different between Workgroup and Domain, so set it to Domain
Samba.
You don't need to add Win2K box in smbpasswd, except in /etc/passwd.
Set the Win2K Domain to Samba Domain, Win2K asking for the user has right to
add Win2K box to the domain, just enter the 'root' and his password.
You will get the message 'Welcome to TESTING [SAMBA-whatever] Domain.'
Now you must restart Win2K and see in login menu the domain of Samba.

I got what you think is that Win2K acts the same as Win9x client when login
to the domain.
If that, you miss here.
Win2K acts the same as WinNT when login to the Domain.
It's must have the same domain [not workgroup] with the PDC Domain.
