[Samba] Problems with Windows 7 on domain, Samba server not

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Can you try setting one of the user's samba password to match the system 
password?
Do you have an XP machines?    I read somewhere that Win 7 and XP handle 
caching credentials for network shares differently.

I don't know if that will help anything -  it may just indicate that 
your issue is a "feature" of Windows 7 and not an actual "bug."
