maybe this is a simple fix but i really don't know how to fix it... it seems that i cannot run any net rpc commands... i wanted to see the members of Domain Users group so i did the following: root# net rpc group members "Domain Users" -Uroot%not24get and i got this error: Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 Connection failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED i can ping localhost

i'm not sure how to create different logon scripts for different users. right now i have one logon script called 'logon.bat' that maps all users to a server share and syncs the time with the server. i need to be able to map different users to different server shares. not all users should be mapped to all server shares. these should be automatic mappings. for example: user1 should

this may sound like a basic question but i'm not entirely sure how roaming profiles work so i'm not sure if i have it working properly. i created a local user account on a client machine and then joined that machine to the domain. i then logged in as domain administrator and copied the user profile from the local machine to the server. if i login with this user account (now the domain

Clicking "OK" will cause it to display." i have tested this and can verify the problem. it would be nice if someone could figure out a little hack to this to make it work properly.

i'm trying to do something which i thought would be simple but i am having a hard time finding information on this. i already have a samba pdc running and managing 17 windows xp clients. i have one linux client that i need to join to the domain. i don't want this client to share anything, i just want it to be on the domain. what does my smb.conf file need to look like??

section 13.3.2 of the HOWTO shows that i can add a user to a group with the following command: root# net rpc group addmem "MIDEARTH\Engineers" ajt -Uroot when i execute this command (replaced with my server specific values, of course), i get a NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER error. i can verify that my user DOES exist and that he belongs to the posix group account. i can also verify that the

os: debian etch 4.0 samba: 3.025c i am reading through the how-to (using samba 3rd ed), freely available btw at http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/sysadmin/samba/sambao3rd/ i am interested in setting up a samba pdc for a good dozen windows xp pro clients. (i somehow could not wake up from the windows 2003 sbs nightmare). i have been able to join my debian box to the local windows domain and

i'm reading through the samba howto. section 6.2.3 (page 105) shows the add machine script as follows: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/nobody -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u i have a problem with the -M option. i cannot find this option in useradd's man page. can i assume this example is incorrect?? what would be a correct example???

is it necessary for me to join the PDC itself to the domain?? i ask this because the below command is not working for me: root# net rpc testjoin [2008/05/20 11:24:32, 0] rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:get_schannel_session_key_common(2445) get_schannel_session_key: could not fetch trust account password for domain 'LSA' [2008/05/20 11:24:32, 0] utils/net_rpc_join.c:net_rpc_join_ok(70)

when i run this: # cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -a -v i get absolutely no ouput my drivers in /usr/share/cups/drivers are as follows: cups6.inf cups6.ini cupsps6.dll cupsui6.dll ps5ui.dll pscript5.dll pscript.hlp pscript.ntf what could be wrong???

I've been running a samba 3.0.28a PDC with XP clients for a while now. The setup has been working flawlessly. I'm considering upgrading some of the clients to Vista. Are there any known issues to Vista using this version of Samba that I should know about. I all need to do is join the Samba domain and connect to a few network shares.

I'm currently running samba as a primary domain controller on Ubuntu 8.04. I am going to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 onto a new hard drive and install that distribution's samba package. This will replace my current installation. I don't plan on changing the configuration file (smb.conf). The configuration file from my current samba installation will be copied to the new
