I can't confirm any problems. :-)

Is this a new DC installation or are only the new placed files not
beeing execute during logon?

Have you filled the logon script name into the AD attribute 'scriptPath'?

Alternatively you can define logon scripts via GPO domain/OU wide. There
are many guides out there, if you use $SEARCHENGINE. :-)

In an AD environment, you set the logon script via scriptPath attribute
or GPO. The smb.conf directive you need, if you run Samba as an NT4 PDC.
