similar to: how to get administrative privileges in wine?

Hello,     Using Samba 4.7.4 on 6 Ubuntu 14.04 as DC's. Recently noticed applications were failing to install on Windows 10 and 7 workstations. Started to investigate and noticed the Administrator account could not install software.  The Domain Admins appear to work as normal with full domain rights. As a test I logged in to a Windows 10 workstation as Administrator and invoked a

Hello samba, I would like to ask about what is the most common and less effort way to let users change time without admin privileges on windows workstations. To be exact I'm trying to find out the quick and dirty way to sync time between win workstations (xp and vista) and PDC Samba 3.3.2. I do use net logon scripts and it is failing on net time \\pdc-server /set /yes command because of

Hi, since I was bitten badly by this today, I take the additional time to report this issue here. After upgrading from samba 3.5.8 to 3.6.0rc3, Administrator on the xp clients (yes, still xp sp3, no vista, no win7 clients here) lost its admin privileges. My Samba PDC setup evolved over about a decade now, but since it still needs to support a small environment only (20 xp, 30 users), I

Dear all, When I create a share with the "admin users" permission (see smb.conf) and map a drive to it from win2k, it does not allow me to: Edit files Create files Remove files Add Directories Remove Directories Each time it gives me a permissions error. And I ever tried adding user1 to the UNIX group that maps to the Windows Domain Admins group: net groupmap modify

Is anyone else seeing Vista (final) will not "connect" to a samba-hosted printer? I'm getting error 0x00000057. I can connect to the port only and install a local driver, though. It's just that the drivers will not load correctly. The drivers do load partly, because I can see driver-specific attributes if I go to "Properties" rather than "Connect". But a test

I know, it's a strange question but I want install Wine on windows Why? Because of compatibility, I use XP and I want use win 3.x applications, and vista applications. I think wine it's a possibility, I use it on linux but I don't want reboot all time. Je sais, c'est un question bizarre mais je veux installer Wine sous windows Pourquoi? ? cause se la compatibilit?, j'utilise

Hi, I have a new computer with Windows Vista and I am trying to use RWinEdt, which I have always used. I am using R version 2.5. The installation of the RWinEdt library is funny. First, it didn't install at all. Then, I uninstalled/reinstalled both R and WinEdt, downloaded the package again from the CRAN repositary, got some error messages, but RWinEdt initialized. I closed R and WinEdt,

Hello everyone, my name is Volodymyr, I am driver developer mostly doing stuff for Windows. I discovered that WineHQ project does not have support for drivers (am I wrong?). In other words, quite a big amount of applications will fail to function properly, because many of them are using helper device drivers to get some extended functionality. I can just mention RegMon, FileMon, TDIMom, and

This is a repost of a simple question about Windows Vista and R (with answer), along with a heads-up on other Windows Vista issues that people may not be aware of and that may impact R development. 1. The standard package install process fails because the user does not have permission to write to Program Files/R/R-version/library. Apparently the install process has already been modified to give

Dear Colleagues, I've tried to run my SigmaPlot 6.0 in a computer with Windows Vista but have got the message Cannot open or create 'C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPW6\LOCKFILE.SYS' every time I try to start the software. Does anybody know what I should do to overcome this problem? Thank you all in advance. Best regards, Eduardo

Hello, I am a Samba-newbie, so please excuse, if my question seems to you stupid. I've set up a PDC, based on Samba 3.0.14a (SerNet) and a OpenLDAP-Server. So I took a Windows XP client and integrated it to the domain. Afterwards I logged in as administrator and copied the existing profile of an user to the server. The user was able to login and his profile was loaded from the server. But I

I have a couple of triple boot systems. On each, Windows is NOT Drive C or Drive C is a useless application like Vista. This system is one where Vista is Drive C. The Vista stuff on drive C conflicts with the XP installation on Drive E. All the applications I would like Wine to run for me are XP applications on Drive E. There are no Vista applications worth using Wine to run. Before I

Hi Everyone, Those of you who have a simple home-based Asterisk box might be interested in a "simple" Win32 (Win2K or WinXP) interface to the AMI manager. The quick-start versions merely require unzipping with NO Installation - hence, NO Uninstall (i.e., no registry writes at any time by the install nor by the program). (Unfortunately) the INSTALL version does write to the

I have a couple of Windows Vista Computers that i freshly (re)installed, updated to SP2 + all updates, and joined to my domain... i also got an empty profile on the server (the storage folder is there, but there are no files inside) When i log into the domain Windows creates all files and folders just fine and stores a cache of that profile in c:\users\username (like it should), And when i log

Hi all, I am going to be in the process of updating my custom system policy templates (probably within a month or two) and I am asking for what policies anyone is in need of to help them deploy samba as a domain controller. Currently I basically have a single template.adm file, a few people have asked me to separate them into a few different files that would serve an overall single purpose - I

I am trying to find a program that will let me run programs designed for earlier windows (95/98) on Vista 64 bit (specifically Lords of Magic, an old PC game - the patches that make the game playable will not install on a 64 bit Vista OS). I know this is a cross platform sort of program, and was wondering if any of you knew if it would work. Thanks for any help or insight.

Hi, i had the same troubles on Vista and on Win7... cmake fails on some tests (you should see this in the log) due to m$ UAC (or whatever the name is) and uses not-so-sane default values. You have to start a visual c-command prompt (to make sure it gets the right paths) with administrator privileges (!) , than cmake works fine and you get a correct config.h. best regards, Thomas 2010/1/22

I'm an avid gamer, I play all kinds of games and a wide variety of specific titles, be they on the A-list or B-list. How realistic would it be for a person like me to rely solely on WINE for PC gaming? I understand that the pace with which WINE can catch up is relatively quick (a few months), but a few months is still a long time to wait if I'm itching to get started on a new release. I

Hello I have been solving a problem how to make a nonroot user able to administer the domain (add users, groups, modify them etc.) from Windows workstation using usrmgr.exe It looks like what is stated in Samba HOWTO collection as prerequisites is not enough. First I found Chapter 12 cxl "How to make Samba PDC users member of the Domain Admins group" - made the nonroot user member of
