You misinterpreted what I described. Please re-read my preliminary documentation. The prefixing is used for *builtin* and *well-known* accounts, *not* for local accounts. Local accounts from the local SAM, users and groups, are either - not prefixed at all, if the machine is a standalone machine, or - prefixed with the machine name if the machine is member of a domain. The non-prefixed, name-only account names are exclusively used for the *primary* domain of the machine you're working on, *iff* db_prefix is set to "auto". This is either the domain the machine has been added to, or the machine name itself if it's a standalone machine. I hope that clears things up.
