I wanted to if a anyone had a similar problem with a samba domain workstation after it's joined to the domain.

When I login to WinXP Pro spk2 workstation as the domain root/administrator user I don't automatically have admin rights over the workstation even though the Domain Admins group is added to the local admins groups when the workstation was joined the domain. I have to login to the workstation with the local admin account and manually add the root/administrator account from the domain to the local admin group on the workstation to get it working.

I 'm running this on RHAT ES4 with Samba 3.x


Thanks

You need to map a linux group to the samba "Domain Admins" group.

Then add anyone you wish to have domain admin rights to the group.

Take a look at the official HOWTO for more info.

http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...upmapping.html

I had this problem when I switched to samba ;-)

Thanks for the reply DudyDoo,

Actually I forgot mention that I did do the groupmapping below is a copy of from my clients system..

let me know what you Think

Thanks

Tim

You must have got it wrong somewhere as it's still disabled (-1 at the end of line means = disable).

It should read ...

Where 'ntadmins' is the account listed in /etc/group

Make sure you use 'net groupmap modify ...' and not 'net groupmap add ...'

Dudydoo Thanks for pointing that out to me. I created a script over a year that did all of that for me below is a copy of the script. I attached a copy of the script below.

I totally over looked the -1

#!/bin/bash

groupadd inventory
groupadd officeadmin
groupadd testing
groupadd cncdata
groupadd public
groupadd shipping
groupadd procedures
groupadd ntadmins
