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.

As a test I logged in to a Windows 10 workstation as Administrator and invoked a

It will begin to open the .exe file than say "You must have Administrator privileges in order to install Adobe Shockwave Player." So how do I designate myself as an Administrator?????

I experienced the following problem with an apparent permissions Catch-22 where there's no "root" user to bootstrap from with Samba-LDAP, and found several other people experienced it too. I eventually figured out why a few people are plagued by this problem while most have never seen it, and I solved it. For everyone else who experiences a similar problem, the explanation and

Hello, Consider two following cases: 1. On production systems on television stations, a sysadmin give teens (remaja group, age 13 and older) full administrator privileges by adding this line to sudoers: %remaja ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Rationale: Almost all programs on the system can only be run by teens as root. 2. On production systems on tobacco factories, a sysadmin also give adults (age 18

At our organization, we're currently gradually migrating the workstations from Windows 98 to Windows XP, while retaining the use of our samba server as a PDC. For those who may remember my previous post, our upgrade to Samba 3.0.11 from an ancient version (2.2.3) I inherited went extremely well, and I was thoroughly impressed how little I had to change to get everything running. Anyways,

Hi, Another query. I have a VB Based ERP that my company has developed. I need to install that and run that thru wine. The ERP uses Microsoft Agent to display an animation on the Login Screen. I was able to install the ERP on Linux thru wine without any problems. After that, when I tried to install the Microsoft Agent from the same setup CD, it failed to install. Further, since the login screen

Before the new db tasks I used as anyone a custom task. It used IO.popen("mysql -u root -p", ''w'') to pipe SQL based on ActiveRecord::Base.configurations[RAILS_ENV]. The new db tasks assume the configured user can create and drop databases. Do you people actually grant those privileges? -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received

Hi Everyone, when I first switched my users from a Win2K advanced server to samba I included the group of "Authenticated users" in the local group "Administrators" on all clients as a quick fix for the unexpected gotcha that all of a sudden after switching to samba no one had any privileges to change any of the optional properties of the Desktop, the Taskbar or the

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
