Hi, If I run this: (where LOCALHOST is the local server name) $ net rpc group add test -U LOCALHOST\\root Then providing I've put in the correct password, I get this: add group failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED I'm using "security = domain", so is there some reason why local groups are not allowed in this configuration? I've tried other accounts, but whether they're mapped to the root user in username.map or not, I still get the access denied error. What is the correct way to create a local group when using "security = domain"? Thanks, Adam.
