If this is a customer rather than your employer you may find that you
need to just part ways, which I know isn't easy. If you provide a
customer with your professional advice, and they choose to ignore it,
then I think you can't really help them.
Is the customer using XP for all client machines or just select machines
that may run some legacy app?
Do you have at least one Win 7 machine? I would validate the
connections with the win 7 machine before you start trying to fix
XP. That would at least prove that the server is correct and XP is
the problem.
If this is a "classic" domain controller then you DO have to use NTLM
(but definately NOT lanman.) If XP supports NTLMv2 then I think it
will negotiate that with Samba. I think Microsoft released patches
for XP for WanaCry, even tho XP is otherwise unsupported. So some of
the security concerns are partially mitigated. Although you should
make sure that the antivirus is enabled and that the machine is ONLY
used for the absolutely essential functions (no web browsing, no e-mail.)
Some of the default "signing" options in smb.conf may have changed with
the newer versions of samba. You may need to turn "server signing" ,
"client signing" and "client ipc signing" to off. You may also want to
check the server and client min and max protocol options on samba.
XP may have problems with SMB2.
Can you try using smbpasswd or pdbedit to precreate the machine
accounts ? I found sometimes certain attributes weren't properly
created when joining machines to domains.
