I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

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 see the list of users and groups , and create a new user, BUT when I

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 create the following map : net

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 for adding users on an Windows NT DC :) With Samba, I always have to press F5-reload in

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.

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

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 cancel the "NEW USER"

passdb appears a lot of times in smba logs, even if it uses LDAP as a backend, as in my config. Maybe the log message should be changed in the code for something easier to debug... But this error message you said, only appears if you try to add or delete the user twice from LDAP, so you should remove "-a" from the add user script and comment out the user delete script if you intend to

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 log file and it said: group

Hi there, I'm running Debian Sarge with the sernet-packages of Samba. Yesterday I updated from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23. When I start the usrmgr.exe, I still are able to modify users but I cannot see/modify groups anymore. Where could I start to find the problem? Thanks. Holger

Hi I have set up my own domain on Debian stable (3.0.14a-3sarge2) and can log in etc. I have just gone to administrate my user accounts using the server tool (usrmgr.exe) from microsoft (i know it is not the problem of samba to support these but...) when i select my new domain 'EDDU' i get the error: "the specified local group does not exist" Having read pretty much every

Hello, After upgrade samba on my 64-bit RHEL4 server from version `3.0.31` to `3.5.3` everything just works fine, but I only have issues with `usrmgr.exe`. Before upgrade, I could manage domain accounts with this utility. Now it say "Access denied" after running without any detailed information.

I've been having this problem on one of my PDC's where when using usrmgr from a windows box, I get the error: The group name could not be found. Since all of the groups samba is interested in exist and since they are all mapped to the appropriate posix groups I'm not sure where to start with this one. A 'net rpc group list' gives the following: Domain Guests Domain Admins

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 example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif
