Your choice is either obtain the old PDC SID and store that into your
Samba server (See man page for 'net getlocalsid', 'net rpc' sid stuff)
or else you need to use the 'profiles' tool to change the SID in the
profile NTUser.DAT files to match your Samba domain SID.

The 'net' command and the 'profiles' tool are part of Samba-3.0.x.
