Are the Windows 7 clients able to join the domain?

Something definitely seems wrong here. Obviously the password can't
be that long.

Using "force user = root" seems like a bad idea to me, especially in
the global section.

Did you have encrypted passwords enabled in your old version of Samba
too? Or did you just enable this when you upgraded?

The default passwd backend is tdbsam. The smbpasswd backend is the
old format that doesn't support all of the features supported by other
backends. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem,
but maybe you could try switching to tdbsam.
