You can download the resource kit from Microsoft here: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt35/i386/i386.exe And there is an article about how to set it up here:

I have a couple of Samba 2.2 servers, in different locations, configured as NT Domain Controllers, but I'm experiencing some problems with logging on to the domains as Administrator in order to perform some administration tasks, such as configuring antivirus software on workstations.

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

Hi all, Sorry for distubing you with this minor problem, but: I've configured samba3 for ldapsam and successfuly joined a WinNT Server 4.0 with on the fly account creation (I have root in LDAP). Now I'm able to manage my samba3 with user manager for domains from srvtools, but not nexus :-(. From my point of view the sadest thing is that on 9x no other application can retrive user

Hi Gents, (apologizes, new here...) I didn't find any hint on G**gle nor in the Dovecot archieve (maybe due to the lack of a search function :), so: I installed Doovecot, but can't get it going.

I found the solution: I tried the srvmgr tool from microsoft to get connected to my samba 3 domain (from an XP client). And this tool told me the same "There is no PDC found for your domain. You may go on but but your rights may be Restricted." As I logged on I saw that both my PDC and BDC where BDCs. I stopped my BDC. Logged on to my PDC and remembering that I had also smbd4wins
