...'s no standard way provided by Samba to change its configuration or modify users account other than direct modify the config file and or database backend. This make many tools less portable because it depends on the backend of samba. There might be a windows rpc call (use by usrmgr.exe and svrmgr.exe), is it the 'standard' way to access samba? Thanks. -- --beast

...red master = yes os level = 65 No workstations are able to browse the network. 2. If the Samba server is configured thusly: [global] domain master = no local master = no preferred master = no os level = 0 and at least one other workstation is running, it is possible to browse the network *but* svrmgr.exe cannot locate the domain controller. This surprised me because users are still able to log on. 3.

Hi all, My Samba server with winbind in an NT4 domain ran fine for a year, now this message is all we get from the windows side. Can it be because it is not listed in the WINS? Whe I look at it from Svrmgr in NT then it says access denied. The same happens using net view Why does it not register with the WINS server? If I configure Samba as a wins server - will it run together with an NT WINS server? Thanks for any ideas

I've got Samba set up as a domain controller successfully, and am now wanting to user usrmgr.exe and svrmgr.exe to make basic user admin changes from a Windows workstation. Some stuff works, and some stuff doesn't, and I was looking for some help with the script sections listed here... What works: add user script = pw user add -n %u -g users -c "Windows User" -s /usr/bin/nologin delet...

...ins for each user, I added them to Samba via smbpasswd. I created a Samba Admin Group "domain". In Linux this all looks right to me. All users can log into the domain and access all of the shares on the servers. None of the users have the ability to change anything via usrmgr.exe or svrmgr.exe. Usrmgr.exe reports "Could not find Domain controller for this Domain". The "Select Domain" popup lists two domains PDC and DOMAIN. Srvmgr.exe reports"Could not find Primary DC for PDC you may administer this domain but certain domain-wide operation will be disabled...
