Have you also set 'max protocol = nt1' in the PDC smb.conf ?

If this is a new domain, can I suggest you use an AD domain instead. 
Windows isn't supposed to work with an NT4-style domain since Version 7 
(this is Microsofts view, not mine) and as such, Microsoft could make 
the registry hacks inoperative at any time.

The other concern is that the Samba 3.6 series is now EOL and is only 
supported by the distros that still use it.
