...f a user is working on a W2k workstation, his roaming profile is stored under \\servername\profiles\username\W2000. If he is working on a WinXP workstation, his roaming profile is stored under \\servername\profiles\username\WinXP. Currently, I'm experimenting with the User Manager for Domains (USRMGR.EXE) from Microsoft to evaluate how good this tool is for administrating a Samba PDC. Concerning the type of roaming profiles described above I have some problems with USRMGR.EXE: When editing the User Properties of a Samba user account with USRMGR.EXE, the user's roaming profile path is &quot...

I currently have samba version 3.0.23 installed using ldap as the backend. I am experiencing the same problems as Holger Wesser mentioned in his posting "USRMGR.exe not working properly". However, it appears that the fix of creating the group mappings does not work. They appear to be mapped correctly on my setup. My net groupmap list is: Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1882045844-2771900506-1057560041-512) -> Domain Admins Domain Users (S-1-5-21-188204584...

Hi I am trying to use usrmgr.exe in order to manage users and groups on my samba server PDC (passdb backend = tdbsam ) . I have the following strange behavior of usrmgr.exe : * when I launch usrmgr.exe from a user account that is part of the Domain Admins group or that explicitly has the SeAddUsersPrivilege privilege, I can...

Hello everybody. I have noted a strange problem when using Usrmgr.exe (from srvtools). The problem arise when a net groupmap is done on a group for which a user exist with the same name that the specified unixgroup. For example, lets say that I have the following UNIX user and group create on my Samba server : joe (in /etc/group) joe (in /etc/passwd) Now I...

I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For ex...

Hi there I've just finished setting my first Samba PDC for 120ish users and so far so good, although its only been live for 2 days!! One problem I've come across (actually I had loads but the HOW-TO, Samba archive and google solved most of them) is with usrmgr. There is one XP client that I have installed the NT 4 Server Tools software on for the school IT coordinator (note the phrase 'coordinator', not exactly a guru or sysadmin) to use to tidy up user names, passwords etc. We are both set up as Domain Admins and have our primary LINUX GID set...

Samba 3.0.23d, on Debian Sarge - using the samba.org packages smbldap-tools 0.9.2 Greetings all, I am trying to set up a new PDC using LDAP, etc. Adding/deleting/modifying users in LDAP works fine using phpldapadmin. These users also work just fine logging in/out. I am trying to get the usrmgr tool to also work, so im working on the scripts on the server. I am getting this error however when I use smbldap-useradd: Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined value at ./smbldap-useradd line 197, <DATA> line 283. The line in the file contains the following code: $us...

usrmgr.exe administration works for me. However, sometimes it is necessary to reopen the domain up to couple of times until the administration starts working. Allegedly also it's not necessary to press F5-reload after adding an user on Windows NT. However didn't test it, never used Windows NT fo...

Hi everybody, i have discovered following problem. System suse 9.2 pdc samba 3.0.20b ldap. a system user which was in the group Domain Admins ( as secondary group of course ) , cannot be removed from the group, by usrmgr ( in real ldap the user gets deleted ! ) If the user account gets deleted completly and recreated it is shown again in the domain admins group.( which isnt so in ldap ) This seems to me as bug with usrmgr, which seem not to forget having a user in Domain Admins Group. ( guessing about some cachi...

I have a Samba (3.0.22) server (working on Ubuntu 6.06.1) acting as NT PDC. My passdb backend is tdbsam. I'm using USRMGR.EXE from Microsoft for user account administration. In USRMGR.EXE I see all accounts, unfortunately also Ubuntu's system accounts (like proxy, sync, sshd etc.). Is there any way to make them invisible for USRMGR.EXE? Cheers B.

I'm having problems adding users with usrmgr. I can run the scripts from my smb.conf fine from command line and do what I need to. But, when adding users with usrmgr, the login script and path statements are not identified and I have to go in and edit them manually. Does adding a user with usrmgr not use the add user script from Samba?...

Heya all, So I've finally got a machine on this Samba 3 domain. Yey. Its an XP Pro box, so I grabbed the UsrMgr.exe and SrvMgr.exe programs from Microsoft, and hoped to at least use UsrMgr to see lists of users, maybe even as a full User manager, since I can't find a decent one that does all the samba3 stuff. Anyway, I'm on the domain, and I run the UsrMgr.exe program and I get an error message: &qu...

Hi Samba users, First I can't open/create local group with usrmgr. Second creating global group and user is working, [third] but adding users to this [global] group failed.. I do this as yaya that has policy rights for everything, like "Domain Admins" has, and when I do it as root, it still doesn't work. Here's some infos: [root@sma-server-1...

Hello, have some little problems adding user to domain with USRMGR.EXE My System runs on SuSE 9.1 (2.6.5-7.75-default), samba-3.0.4, smbldap-tools-0.8.5, openldap2-2.2.6 If I try to add a new user with USRMGR.EXE I get an error "Access denied", but if I look into LDAP the new user was correctly added to LDAP. If I confirm the error-message and then ca...

...hat my OpenLDAP Samba (samba.schema) in /etc/ldap/schema was out of date; I have now replaced it with the latest version from the Samba source (3.0.23d). The correct number of domain groups are now reported with 'net rpc info' and the groups are visible from the Windows XP dialog boxes and USRMGR.

Hello: I have set up samba PDC using samba 3.0.11. When I use the usrmgr.exe tool on NT4 machine to add user to the domain, it prompts and says: "The following error occurred changeing properties of the user mary: fail find the group" (The error msg actually appears as Chinese in my computer, I just translate the error message). Then I check with the samba lo...

Hi everyone. I have a problem when using samba together with usrmgr. When adding a global group I get an error message. The group is still created.

...bpasswd for the password back end. There are approx 20 users. It also serves dhcp, ntp, mysql and apache. WHAT I WANT: I want to have a person at the client's site able to log on as root and use the srvtools in win2k to manage the groups and users. In other words, they need to be able to use usrmgr.exe to manage the users and groups of the domain from one of the win2k workstations. WHAT THE ERROR MESSAGE SAYS: if I double click on on a user, a standard windows error dialogue comes up "User Manager for Domains" "The following error occurred accessing the properties of the user...
