I and Abhishek are working in the same lab setup. Here are the answers to U'r Q
$ testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2>/dev/null $ echo $?
rka-29@rka-29-desktop:~$ testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2>/dev/null No rka-29@rka-29-desktop:~$ echo $? 0
Also, on the machine that fail to start nmbd at boot, does starting up nmbd manually after boot (sudo start nmbd) work with an uncommented prestart script ?
Yes.
