[Samba] Samba documentation team

[Daniel Müller]

So we have seen things when a windows xp client cannot reach a windows7 or a
windows 2008 R2 share in an old style domain after some MS updates
For 7 or 2008. We had just to move the shares over to our Samba Nt4 style
domain so the XP could reach the  files again.
Printers(network) in the same family 7/2008 that served for the xp clients
until this updates are suddenly offline after the updates.

I have not seen any problems at all with windows8.1 on my samba NT4 domain.
Hopefully Microsoft does not kill that in the future since company policy
prevents me from ever going to an AD domain. I can not have my linux servers
connected to the company network - they sit on a completely separate private
network not connected to the Internet or company in any way with separate
network switches and all PCs are have
2 nics so the DNS requirement of AD is not possible or at least not easy.
