[Samba] Domain admins not getting local admin rights

Hi there,

I switched servers yesterday.
The old server was running 2.2.7a-1 on RedHat 8.0.
The new server is 3.0.8-0.pre1.3 on Fedora Core 3.

I did the migration by copying the following:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/shadow
/etc/samba/*

I then copied /home and fixed all the permissions on stuff.

I then started up samba on the new server, and unplugged the old one.

Most everything went smoothly, everyone could log in, we did not have to 
re-join client comptuters to the domain.

However, I am not understanding why my domain administrator accounts are 
now not getting local administrator priveleges when logged in. This 
always worked fine on Samba 2.2.7a-1!

I now cannot, when logged in on a W2K workstation as a domain user 
called "nsu", which is a member of "domain admins", modify files in 
C:\WINNT, or modify the local registry, etc.

On a W2K orkstation, In the Local Users and Groups applet I can see that 
the local "Administrators" does in fact contain "PD/Domain Admins" and 
it gines a partial listing of the group's SID.

I cannot confirm if this is the same SID as my SID in samba for "Domain 
Admins". It should be the same, right? Can anyone suggest a tool I could 
use to confirm this?

I *really* don't want to have to add a domain group of people who should 
be local administrator to the local administrators group on each 
workstation, as we have quite a number of workstations, so I have not 
tried this yet...

Can someone else suggest something for me to check or try? Thanks!
