I had a similar problem with a W7 machine and Samba 3. In my case was
because i had joined a Samba 4 domain before, but this lines on a .reg file
fixed my problem:



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Win7_Samba3DomainMember
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManWorkstation\Parameters]

"DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000
"DomainCompatibilityMode"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servicess\Netlogon\Parameters]
"RequireSignOrSeal"=dword:00000001
"RequireStrongKey"=dword:00000001



Please, remember to backup the original registry settings to allow to
restore if something goes wrong.

Greetings!!
