The question was not "Is there a local account called root?", but "Have you added the domain root user into the administrator group?". It's two different things. Do NOT create a local account with the name root, but rather: In the User Manager, you can add accounts into certain groups. Open up the administrators" group and add in \\domain\root (of course, replace "domain" with the actual name of your domain)... You should be able to browse to the account. The drawback with that method is that you have to touch every machine to do it.It wasn't, but I put it in. As a local account it works just like the administrator account should. When I log into the network, I lose the local permissions - ie, I can't run programs that require administrator rights.Mike
Pardon me if I have missed anything, but the better solution would be to add the root account in domain admins in the smb.conf (but am I recalling correctly that this will not work in version 3 of Samba?)
