samba - Oct 2004 - Windows User Admin Tool error

I've got a Fedora Core 2 box running Samba smbd version 3.0.7-2.FC2.

I've set it up as a Domain master for a new domain.

I setup a Win2K Server box and had it join the domain.

I made an "administrator" user,
I mapped the groups via:
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users

I made the "administrator" the admin user in the smb.conf:
admin users = administrator

I can login to the domain, using the administrator, create files
in the admin's home dir, etc.

Now I want to use svrtools (actually, I want my Windows admin to
be able to use them). I got the svrtools.exe as per the Samba
docs, installed them on the Win2K box, and executed the User Admin Tool.

It shows the list of users that the samba box has defined.

I double click oun any user, and get this message:

"The specified procedure could not be found."


Any hints?

Thanks

Barry

I've also been trying to get these tools to work for as long as I've 
been messing with Samba (5-6 years now?) and no dice.   What are the 
requirements for this to function?  I always get "A device attached to 
the system is not functioning" when I try to use user manager for domains.

Hi Jim,
usrmgr will work right out of the box with samba
if you have something like this with ldap in your smb.conf
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1/"
    ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=robo,dc=intern
    ldap suffix = dc=robo,dc=intern
    ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
    ldap user suffix = ou=Users
    ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
    ldap idmap suffix = ou=Users
    ldap ssl = no
    add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -a -m -P "%u"
    ldap delete dn = Yes
    delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel.pl -r "%u"
    add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w "%u"
    add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd.pl -p "%g"
    delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupdel.pl "%g"
    add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl -m 
"%u" "%g"
    delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod.pl 
-x "%u" "%g"
    set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod.pl -g 
"%g" "%u"
    passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd.pl "%u"

you can also use srvmgr with this

add share command = 
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl
         change share command = 
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl
         delete share command = 
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba3/examples/misc/modify_samba_config.pl

you may have different paths on your distro
but modify_samba_config.pl makes your smb.conf lokking a little bit 
strange thats why i said i dont recommend this, for me edit
smb.conf for configure shares is the better way, but srvmgr works
dont forget to start usrmgr and srvmgr as a Domain Admin account user
