similar to: changing DOMAIN name on samba PDC

We have a few win9x workstations, that have spurious login problems. They get the message: No domain server was available to validate your password you may not be able to gain access to some network resources. The passwords are definetly correct and the problem will sometimes disappear after 5 - 10 retries, but almost always after a full restart of the win9x PC, very occasionally it takes as

So, I followed these directions and got errors in log.nmbd regarding "domain_master_node_status_fail". There were still entries for the old server's ip address in connections.tdb, gencache.tdb, locking.tdb and sessionid.tdb, so I stopped samba, deleted them and restarted. All was well. I then changed the SID using "net setlocalsid

Does someone know how to do this group mapping in samba? why does "net groupmap x y" has no effect? If I map a domain group to a local group, then the members of the domain group should be treated as members of the local group, or not?

Hi All, Is there a way (speak command/wsh script) that allows a win9x workstation that is logged into a samba domain server (running onlinux for example) to see from the workstation what owner a certain file or directory has? Under win2k the "dir /q" command does this adequately. And if this is possible, is it then possible for someone to change the ownership of a file to another

Hi, For reasons best known to the IT admin before myself, we currently have a domain name of WARLOCK. I want to change this. We have about 15 WinXP Pro client machines on the domain as well as a few linux domain clients. A bit of reading shows that it should be as simple as doing a net getlocalsid, making the change, followed by a net setlocalsid. I started doing this when I noticed something

You could do what we do - just replace the local machine policies each time you rev the policy set. They're stored in c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy. Using gpscript.exe (Google for it, don't have a specific site) you can dump the contents of either registry.pol file to text. You can also recombine textfiles back into a .pol file, and subsequently rev the gpt.ini file so your new .pol

Hello, I'm doing a migration of a PDC from Samba 2.2.8a on Mandrake Linux 9.0 to Samba 3.0.6 on Debian Woody (stable), both on the same machine, different partitions, they do not run simultaneously. And I really need help. :-/ I could not find a detailed guide, so after having a look at the migration chapter of the official howto, I adapted my smb.conf keeping the same host and domain

hi everybody, i would very appreciate it if somebody could give me some advice to the following problem - thank you in advance, karel. *************************************** the problem(s): - after changing pdc (hw and samba-version, see below) the domain-adminstrator user is not able to manage users in the citrix environment: the error maessage: user xxx is not prileged to ..., can not

I much regret in many ways having to ask this question below. But our business needs now demand more than we think we can deliver using open source software exclusively. What is the best way to 'suck up' all of the domain group and user data from a current samba 3.0.21a PDC into a microsoft windows 2003 server? We have two basic needs that demand we now introduce active directory servers

Samba admins, I have stumbled across a FREE & interesting utility that allows one to create Policy Templates straight from an registry export "*.reg" (unicode or ansi), thank you Yizhar Hurwitz. http://www.new-ofek.co.il/yizhar/ Hope somebody else finds this usefull too. Urs Rau PS: Now if anybody knows of a unix commandline util/script that creates both User and Machine

Sorry to those of you that have received duplicates of my messages over the easter weekend. I had subscribed to the nntp server of my isp (pipex uk) and searched for "samba" it showed a few hits but "gmane.network.samba.general" showed as containing no posts but "mailing.unix.samba" showed a bit more than 20'000 so I subscribed to that and sent a slurr of

I am trying to change the localSID for a SAMBA server, however I am unable to. I have tried the command "net setlocalsid" to no avail. To troubleshoot I have also stopped the smbd and nmbd services, but this did not help. Any help would be great! root at TheWiggle:~# net getlocalsid SID for domain THEWIGGLE is: S-1-5-21-748580849-194208185-3916830000 root at TheWiggle:~# net

Hi, I'm going to attempt to upgrade our PDC from 2.2.8a to 3.0.10 sometime very soon. This is fairly mission critical as our 300+ clients rely on it for authentication. After reading around I propose the following steps to make the upgrade transparent (at least for the end users) : 1) install samba 3 alongside samba 2 on the PDC (seperate path etc). 2) run the samba 3 net getlocalsid

What's wrong with WARLOCK? Just kidding. If you don't like it, change it, but do expect problems. It's not something you will find a recipee for in a How-to book. The SETLOCALSID changes only the LOCAL SID, not the GLOBAL SID, for which we would probably need SETGLOBALSID. When I faced the same problem, I did something really wrong but it worked. I copy-pasted the LOCAL SID to the

Hello I have a client who historical had a machinename with an underscore in it : samba_machine I had to get rid of the underscore names and changed the name to samba-machine. At the same time I upgraded to samba-3.0.11 to get a printer queue problem resolved. Now it seems the Domain SID has changed, so I changed the new SID back to the old one with net setlocalsid, because on all machines I had

hi, i'm trying to migrate my samba 2.2.8a pdc to 3.0.12 pdc. I'm using ldap and i have already migrated all the data. Also i have executed convertSambaAccount for the new schema. My problem is that I cannot set the old SID (samba 2.2.8) to the new samba 3.0.12 for that the clients can authentificate to pdc server. samba2.2.8> smbpasswd -S LDAP Successfully set domain SID to

Hello, I have a test environment with 1 windows 2000 AD domain pdc ( mixed mode install ), 1 linux server ( to become pdc ) and a win xp box to test logon when the migration was completed. The problem is no matter what I try after the migration the win xp's logonserver = windows server not linux server. I have no idea what is going on here. I've listed the process for migration

Does the following setup have any chance of ever working without to many problems? Our mix of ~ 40 workstations (win98se & xp pro) get the home drive mapped in the netlogon script when connecting into the domain for win9x net use h: \\linux\homes for win xp net use h: \\linux\homes /persistent:no relevant sections of our redhat 7.3 w/ samba 2.2.8 smb.conf are: [global] ;; server name

Is there a switch or config setting somewhere that would allow me to start up more than the default 4 xen DomU instances? I am finding that the CentOS 5 (x86_64) installation only allows me to start up 4 virtual machines at a time. (It is definetly not a lack of cpu resources, memory or disk space.) Any help or pointers, would be much appreciated. Regards, -- Urs Rau

On win XP Pro workstations it would be so convenient if the domain logon script which is stored on the samba pdc could be made to run with Administrative (or System) privileges. I know that I can interactively run another security context by choosing "run as user" but how could I achieve this non-interactively and domain wide whilst a "limited account" is loggin in? Thanks
