Yes, but what are you doing with it ?
How are you running Samba ?

That is a Windows command, so you could be trying to do something that
Samba does not understand.
Just what are you trying to achieve ?

You are running a Windows command (presumably on Windows), yet you seem
to be trying to fix the problem on Linux, have you tried editing the
register on the Windows machine ?

You probably do have a working Samba, Though it may not be able to do
what you are trying to do, there may just be no code for it.

Rowland, are you an AI ?

You keep asking the same useless question to everybody

Yes, but what are you doing with it ?
How are you running Samba ?

even if the question is clear, I am trying NOT to have the above error 
when running dcdiag

and .... you know thet dcdiag is a win command and applies to AD DC 
contollers, right ?

and ... you know that samba-regedit works on samba, right ?

if you do not know the answer to the question, ok, no problem, just say so

Thank you
