	Did you checked the Release Notes? And the Samba
Official HOWTO about Group Mapping?

	Ok.

	This is an anonymous login.

	Probably because you are not login anonymously from Windows.

	Anonymous logins are different from WinXP logins, AFAICT.

	If everything is ok with you user and group account,
group mappings and SID, everything should be ok, getting the
error about builtin accounts with the fact of the migration
hint me to the BUILTIN Group problems.

	It could be something else, increased log levels (10)
can help a lot in this context, you can also test simples
shares decreasing the security level just to figure out what's
going on.

	Kind regards,
