If unset, that is the default, but it is an 'nmbd' thing and I am not 
sure if 'nbt' on a DC has the required code.

It sounds to me that the OP has classicupgraded an NT4-style domain to 
an AD domain. If so, then unless he has modified the smb.conf, the old 
machine will still be running as a PDC.

I think he needs to give us more info.

Starting with the smb.conf from the new AD DC and the old PDC.
