Title: samba admin permission
Post by: crusader on November 24, 2007, 03:53:45 AM

I use a up to date sme 7.2. I joined a windows xp client machine to my samba domain and used the admin user to login on that machine, but strangely I do not get admin permissions with that user, eventhough the line: admin user admin is active in my smb.conf file (which should as far as I know, active by default).

Does someone know how I can fix that problem?

Create a group in your SME server-manager, name it whatever you want (e.g. domadmin-grp) and the description "Domain Admins" (EXCATLY that description!).
Then add at least the user admin to that group.
With a next logon as user admin to the XP machine, you should have administrative rights. (This is assuming that the XP machine is joined to the domain of your SME server).

I've tried that but it didn't work, any idea why?
