Hi David, I'm not sure about your response but I research it shortly.
In regards to John's response, I did change it slightly (I am trying to not use room) net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domainadmins net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=domainusers net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nogroup I have then added two people into the domainadmins group (which I created) and 1 person into the domainusers group. The users on the domainadmins group can connect to the domain (if I use the root user to add them which I want to change) but they cannot save their profiles. I belive this is due to the permissions on the folders: rwxrwxr-x 2 root domainusers 4096 2008-09-25 12:43 netlogon drwxrwxr-x 3 root domainusers 4096 2008-09-26 01:40 profiles I could see how it would work if I kept things as they are as domain admins would be in the root group and would have access to the folder but since I am tryig to not use the root group I am at a loss how to set the permissions on these folders. I haven't been able to try the user that is in the domainusers group as that use runs Kubuntu and I'm not sure how to add a Linux machine onto the domain. Thanks for both your responses! Again, the main goal is to setup a PDC with roaming profiles without the use of the root account or root group. -Jesse On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 11:18 AM, David Markey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > net rpc rights grant <username> SeMachineAccountPrivilege > > On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 7:11 PM, John Drescher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > >> On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 1:59 PM, Jesse Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> wrote: >> > Please don't flame me.
