I believe the above line is the problem.  When the NT machine went down, the
Windows systems held an "election", and the Samba server won it (it stacked the
deck in its favor with that os level).

I'd suggest you change the os level to 0, restart Samba, then see if it gets
elected when the NT system goes down.
