similar to: net rpc commands not working

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

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

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??

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???

Hello all, I am having a some problems with groups. If I use this command "net rpc group list -Uroot%not24get" as the root users I get an error. "Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 The username or password was not correct" If I try to add groups I also get the same error. and I don't know if this is relevent or not but when I try to join win groups and Unix groups

I've tried numerous times but cannot get Vampire to bring across all groups or add users to all groups that they belong to. Sometimes I get everygroup except 1, other times not so lucky. Vampire log is below with an example of what is going wrong. vampire.log Fetching DOMAIN database Creating unix group: 'skischool' Creating unix group: 'sales' Creating unix group:

Greetings, I've been reading and re-reading "Chapter 12. Group Mapping: MS Windows and UNIX", Mailing list messages with the subjects "valid users = +group doesn't work" and "Unix ADS group membership or vice versa" and all I've gotten is more confused. I have to move my samba servers from a Samba PDC environment to Active Directory (AD) where they will

Hi All, I am going through a setup of a test samba3 box with rh9 with my self rolled copy of 3.0.10. I have removed the old rpm version of samba. I compiled 3.0.10 with all defaults except for the install prefix which I set to /usr/local/samba3. I followed the steps given in Chap 6 - making users happy in the online html version. I changed a few things. Instead of MASSIVE as the PDC name I

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

Hi All, Has any one got an idea of how to make clients automatically find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running by Samba authenticating again a LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. I can see that the replication is of

Hello, I'm having a hard time joining one linux server to an active directory domain. I've searched everywhere for a solution but was unsuccessful: I went to samba.org and followed the examples in http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ The examples are great... My scenario is described in chapter 7 (http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...ts.html#adssdm) It explains how to make

Hi, the smbldap tools are a great thing to have, thanks a lot! I just wonder if it would be possible to set a password via the command line, like: smbldap-passwd.pl testuser1 not24get I have to create accounts for several hundreds people every year and give them an immutable password. So long I do that with smbpasswd, ldappasswd and a tiny script around these tools. I tried smbldap-passwd.pl

Hi, I have performed all the steps from John Tepstra's "Samba-3 by Example" 20 April 2005 to Chapter 5, step 21, pg 146. (My goal is to have SAMBA with LDAP and no MS Windows servers.) Everything appears to work properly to this point. When I perform the command: (amd is the name of this test server) net rpc join -S AMD -U root%not24get I get the error: Could not connect to

John, The restrictanonymous setting was the primary culprit in Ash's issue. I think he's using basically the same setup as I am; no winbind/LDAP involved. I'm thinking there's some initial handshaking that requires an anonymous connection to PDC, and it's being blocked if the restrictanonymous setting is too high. I sent a note to Ash (& the list) asking for the

I have setup samba 3 as a PDC for a set of computers that previously had Domain Users setup to run as local admins under XP, so that anyone that has logged into the domain has local admin access. Whats the best way to replicate this setup so that I don't have to go around to each computer and change the local security policy? Is there a way to assign users to the group domain users? or would
