Samba/WinXP problem

Hi all,
Until recently, I had managed to always keep my clients who needed MS
at Win2k (the best MS put out, imho :p ). However, I've now got a
network of WinXP SP2 machines that I run on an NT4-style domain with an
Ubuntu/Samba3.x server.
On most of the machines (~ dozen) everything works great. On a couple
machines though, for no reason I can fathom (thus this post), once the
machines are joined to the domain I can no longer do anything (even
update the virus program, Symantec AV Corporate Edition) or run Windows
Update. I have the domain user as a local administrator and even when I
log into the local machine instead of the domain as the local machine's
admin user I get no love. As soon as I disjoin the domain though, voila,
all good again.
I don't know if this is a samba problem per se, because the files
effected are NOT stored on the server (ie: c:\documents and settings\all
users\application data\symantec\*) but roaming profiles are.
Any other hapless admins run into this problem? Did you find a solution?
Thanks!!!
Madison
