Add in the "[global]" section of /etc/samba/smb.conf following line:
   username map = /etc/samba/smbusermap.conf
(you can choose also a different file name.) Then create this file
   /etc/samba/smbusermap.conf
and write in each line, which user names should be mapped:
   LinuxUser1 = WindowsUser1
   LinuxUser2 = WindowsUser2
   LinuxUser3 = WindowsUser3
and so on.

Best wishes,
Arne
