Login as admin and select Configure this server.
Note that only supported NICs will work

PLEASE read the manuals

I did a wrong thing .... disabled onboard lan so smeserver can't detect it when I was configure server...

But I have a samba question, why normal user can install software, that user not in domain admin groups. The wiki shown can create Users group, it displayed already has this user when I creating it .

Thanks

I assume you mean software on a Windows workstation. That user probably has local Administrator rights. Check the workstations security settings. That's really a query for a Windows support website.

1. The network card working.

2. You mean I have to remove them from local administrator group and add them to local Users group?

Thanks !

Post by: leiw on January 18, 2010, 03:30:19 AM: I just removed the Domain Users group in local computer, the smeserver admin cannot remove or install software... I think I have to use local administrator to install software .

Thanks !

AFAIK the Domain Users group is not related to software installation, it is normally placed in the Users group on the local machine (automatically when joining a domain) so domain members can login to the machine and have the privileges assigned to the Users role (which does not have administrative privileges and therefore can usually not install software).
I think you need to read up on how Windows handles group accounts (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726982.aspx) and the variety of user levels (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243330) as IMHO your issues should be solved once you add the Domain Admins group to the Administrators group om your systems.

AFAIK the Domain Admins group should be added automatically. How did you create your Domain Admins group. Did you follow these instructions (http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter9#Setting_admin_rights)?

Post by: leiw on January 19, 2010, 01:53:40 AM: I know the concept right now, after added domain admins group in administrators group and then add a user to Domain Admins in smeserver, that user has admin permission !

Thanks !
