If your Samba version is pretty recent (privilege support was started in 3.0.11 and has been improved since then) you can assign the SeMachineAccountPrivilege to arbitrary accounts. You can set this either from Windows in User Manager (Menu Policies->User Rights) or from the comman line on your samba server: net rpc rights grant some_account_name SeMachineAccountPrivilege
Thank you, it works! With some caveats. I had to turn permissions on in samba.conf, then the net rpc rights grant syntax seem to be "unstable." This doesn't work: net rpc rights grant username SeMachineAccountPrivilege Instead of username you are supposed to use some DOMAIN/username syntax I haven't figured out. Howerver, I was able to allow everyone to join the domain with: net rpc rights grant Everybody SeMachineAccountPrivilege -- mvh Björn -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
