That's the normal behaviour on an NT Domain. When the PDC is no users can be modified or machines added. The Domain enters a reand-only state. The only way would be to "promote" the BDC to PDC. > my second question is wheather it is possible, that all > administrative users can join a new machine to the domain and > not only the root user? Yes, if using privileges you must set the SeMachineAccountPrivilege. Something like net rpc rights grant username SeMachineAccountPrivilege Hope this helps, Bruno Guerreiro > > with best regards > > Andreas > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
