Hi everybody, thanks for your replies. I've found the problem, I
believe, and have a work around. About 15 minutes ago, I stumbled
across
this web page:

As it turns out, a "new feature" of Windows 7 is that you cannot
directly add domain users as local users. Instead, you must add
desired
domain users to local groups, achieving the desired result. I have
verfied that this works without difficulty.
In the past, I was able to add domain user acocunts as local accounts,
but it appears that Microsoft no longer allows this with Windows 7.
Ummm, no that is incorrect. If you would like I will send you a
screen shot. This method you describe is what I've used to admin W2K3
member servers to a Samba3-LDAP domain.
As long as it works...
Thanks again,
Bryan
