similar to: USERMGR 'A device attached to the system is not functioning'

I loaded the NT4 Domain Manager tools and tried to use UserMgr to add some users. The add users sections of the menu are grayed out and I cannot do the deed. I've tried a variety of things. The machine was a member of the domain, I was logged in a administrator, which seemed to map as root in Samba, but still all I could do is look, not touch. Any ideas what I did wrong this time?

I am trying to implement my Samba 3.3.3 running on FreeBSD 7.1 as a PDC.

Hi, I'm using samba 3.0.2 PDC with LDAP backend. I'd like to be able to manage user accounts by Microsoft's usrmgr tool (from srvtools package). In my smb.conf are configured functional IDEALX scripts. Additionally I added debug output to start of all scripts which prints current time and parameters of script.

Dear list, I'm using samba 3.0.2a on a RedHat Linux server. Samba is configured as being a PDC. When I use the usermanager from SRVTOOLS.EXE on my W2K workstation I don't see any groups listed in the window below the userlist. Also when I look at the properties of on of the user (who is member of more than one group) I only see that a primary group is assigned, the one in /etc/passwd. The

Hello, I'm using Samba 3.0.1 with LDAP backend running as a PDC here. When I start up usrmgr.exe from Windows NT, it will read all the users (or computers, for srvmgr.exe) in the domain and report them back correctly. However, whomever I am logged in as ( including gid 512 users) it will not let me see details or change anything. In the logs after trying to view a users details I will

I patched samba to always return ACCESS_GRANTED for testing. So I came to this: IASSAM.LOG [556] 23:23:53:671: Inserting attribute msNPAllowDialin.

I've had a problem since I had installed samba with ldap support. It's impossible deleting and managing [ex.: add user to a group] the user; only with smbldap-tools. When I try to manage new user with usermgr.exe, who's added the log tell me: ldapsam_update_sam_account: failed to modify user with uid = foo, error: sambaMungedDial: value #0 invalid per syntax (Success) Trying

Is password aging/expiration a functional feature in Samba 3? I have compiled and installed the alpha 12 release and while I can set password aging in the account policies via NT's account manager, Samba 3 does not seem to be honoring it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have spent the last few days attempting to get a Samba3 PDC/BDC setup with an LDAP SAM and need some clarification on exactly what should/can be initialized in the LDAP SAM. As my main sources of information/inspiration I have been using http://http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Replicated_Failover_Domain_Controller_and_file_server_using_LDAP and the smbldap-tools source code, but have also

I've been fiddling lately with Samba 3 coupled with openldap, nss_ldap, pam_ldap and the smbldap-tools to create a PDC. Following various examples, most things work, but I have an issue with changing passwords from Windows. If I manually change a password with smbldap-passwd, the script correctly adjusts the sambaPwdMustChange attribute according to what defaultMaxPasswordAge is set to. If

Hi, after looking for some time on the web for a solution to my problem I feel really brainwashed and I hope someone here can help me :) I'm setting up a PDC based on this: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS Samba 3.4.7 OpenLDAP backend smbldap-tools and I have a problem with RID allocation. Long time ago (before Samba 3.0.25?) RID was generated this way: uid * 2 + 1000 gid * 2 + 1001 and it was nice

Hi, I've configured samba with ldap support and all is going well with normal users. I wanted to know how to give special right/privileges to users using any windows tool.

Bon app?tit ? tous, I have a small problem regarding delegation of domain administrator rights to a 'normal' user (eg. not root or uid!=0). I maybe fooled myself believing it is possible in Samba3, reading Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#WKURIDS, that a user could be also a domain admin. I've created group mappings (with good RIDs) for main groups (eg. SID-512, SID-513, SID-514,

I have been trying to create some administration guidline to adding users and groups in a Samba 3.0 PDC. I have most of the task documented. The problem I run into is where can I set the attribute for a user to change their password on next logon. Any help is appreciated. Terrance Bey
