Hello all,

some time ago I've posted on samba.internals but did get no answer to my
question. I hope that someone on this list can give me some help.

I have migrated a Win2k AD to samba4 and copied SYSVOL as decribed in
this post:

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2011-October/080026.html

Now I have the problem that only the builtin Administrator can
sucessfull modify/add GPOs. Users which are assigned to the
"domain admin" group can open/view GPOs but when trying to change
anything an error message pops up stating that the user is not allowed
to do it. Unfortunately the GPO does not work anymore afterwards and
needs to be rebuild by the administrator.
I'm pretty sure that the problem you have is the following, the default group for the administrator user is 'administrators' and so on the *ix side file are group owned by this group. Members of the domain admin group get an access denied while trying to store the file because they are not seen as member of the administrators group (which is the case) and because other group membership that should give them write access are not translated to posix acls. The way to solve it to give the group membership to either "domain admins" or "enterprise admins" and make sure that they can write. In order to get the gid for this group you can use wbinfo --group-info="domain admins". The second problem you'll face is that you can create new policy by default with just admin users. This is due to a limitation of the posix/acl layer, the root of the problem is that when the group policy console try to create the new policy it creates a folder and the ACLs specified by windows set the group ownership to domain users and the user ownership to "domain admins" as ACLs for domain users are limited posix rights are translated to rx so when it tries to create a GPT.INI file, Windows is denied to do so because at the end the user hasn't the right to write in this newly created dir (directory_user != user && directory_group_right forbid write).

The way to solve this problem is to force the directory mask to be 775, it's not the most elegant situation but it works.
