[Samba] Problems upgrading from 2.2.7a to 3.0.2a

Also try this. I had the same stuff happen to me and I'm still experiencing
some issues but trying to get through them. This seemed to work also

net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users 
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins 
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nobody

Do you think the session ID would have anything to do with the lost Windows
