I was bitten by this a while back, after "upgrading" to SP3. There is
a reference to the MS article in FAQ on the Samba home page, but MS
moved things around, so the link is no longer valid. Someone here just
installed sp3 the other day, and of course could not connect. It took
me awhile to find the article, so I happened to have a printed copy on
my desk. Glad it was of help.

I know, lets make a system thats impossible to understand and
maintain. We'll make every system function depend a GUI app to
control it. Of course we won't provide any command line interface,
because that would make it too easy for someone automate system
administration tasks. Oh yes, one last thing, lets put all the
critical system information in a central registry, and not allow
access to it a normal file. We don't want to make it easy to backup
after all.

Arrrggg.
