I have a SAMBA PDC that was upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2 (zypper dup),
the server start ok and seems that the upgrade was all ok, but if I try
to login on a XP workstation it report that the server is down, the
machine password is wrong or the user is not valid

That’s login to the server from an XP machine?
Ok with the basics?
Have you checked to see if /etc/samba/smb.conf has changed, ie, /etc/samba/smb.conf.rpmnew, or /etc/samba/smb.conf.old?
How about the /etc/hosts* have they changed?
How about the server IP address, if its dynamically assigned and picked up a new IP addr?
Any clues in
tail -n 100 /var/log/samba/smbd.log
tail -n 100 /var/log/warn

Did you do a fresh install or an update? A couple of things could have gone
wrong.
Here are some that jump to mind.
If you did a fresh install, then most likely, (certainly), you blew away the
old /etc/samba/secrets.tdb. In this case the domain SID would have changed
and you will need to rejoin the domain or restore the old SID. Did you save
the SID?
Starting with Samba 3.4.0 the default “passdb backend” changed from smbpasswd
to tdbsam. If you were using the default with 11.1 and just did an upgrade
you will need to set the backend back to smbpasswd. If you did a fresh
install you will need to redo all the joins and user passwds. If you are
using LDAP see the above paragraph.

It was a upgrade, not fresh install of the entire system

There is a /etc backup, so the content of the /etc/samba directory must
be there

mmmmm… I’ll check that, but now I don’t have access to the server

Firewall is ok, and I can access the samba shares from the xp
administrator account

VampirD;
If your 11.1 smb.conf did not specify the “passdb backend”, then most
certainly it was smbpasswd. You can check the current value of that
parameter with:
testparm -vs | grep passdb
This will show the current value of the parameter, including any default.
If you decide to just convert to the tdb backend you can export your current
smbpasswd file to tdbsam. First set the passdb backend parameter to
smbpasswd in /etc/samba/smb.conf.
passdb backend = smbpasswd
Restart smbd. Then execute with root authority:
pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam
Let Samba revert to tdbsam ( just remove the passdb backend parameter and
restart smbd.

Added
passdb backend = smbpasswd
and working, at least report connectes users, I’ll test it well later
when I can reach the server, and later try to change to tdbsam

VampirD;
Glad to see you have it working now. If you ever do a fresh install or change
PDC’s you will need to restore your existing domain SID. It’s easiest to get
from a running PDC. I would recommend that you execute the following
command:
net getlocalsid <your domain>
If you redirect the output to a text file and back that up, then if needed you
can restore the sid on a new PDC with:
net setlocalsid <your domain sid>
