All seems to be working correctly now except I have to rejoin all of the
machines to the domain but that happens anytime I upgrade.

Also it seems that my users no longer have thier roaming profiles.

Here is a copy of my smb.conf

[global]
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/passdb.tdb
enable privileges = yes
logon drive = H:
domain master = yes
encrypt passwords = true
logon home = \\%L\%U
netbios name = ARDVARC
server string = Gaudior's PDC
logon script = logon.bat
local master = yes
workgroup = GAUACA
logon path = \\%L\%U\profile
os level = 99
security = user
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false \-d /dev/null %u
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
hide files = /desktop.ini/
guest account = nobody
map to guest = bad user
wins support = yes

[staff]
comment = staff share drive
path = /home/staff/share
read only = no
;valid users =

[student]
comment = student share by level
path = /home/stdnt/share
read only = no

[netlogon]
comment = Net Logon Service
path = /home/netlogon
read only = yes
write list = root
;public = yes
guest ok = yes
browsable = no

[homes]
comment = Home
valid users = %S
read only = no
browsable = no
