Being able to log in is not the same thing as have a machine account on
a domain but this is Windows networking bs and entirely off topic here.

And to the original question about migrating WinNT 4 domain
controllers...Samba 3 is an obvious choice for that. It has the net rpc
vampire tool to 'suck' the sam from the Windows NT Domain Controller and
from that point on, can entirely replace it.
