Hi there, I hope someone here has seen and can help me through the installation of Laptops into a domain created with SAMBA. Here is my status: 1) domain user account - local permissions on a win xp laptop - the laptop is connected to the domain - the roaming profile has been disabled so I can access the domain user profile locally when offline the problem is that I cannot give the domain user local admin rights on the laptop - the user account does not even show up under the user accounts I have tried following the steps in http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ProfileMgmt.html#id418557 to add the profile to the local computer but at line item 6 under permitted to use the process does not let me use a local user account or everyone. 2) Existing local user with admin rights - I want them to load the domain resources when they login. - username and password match the Samba domain password but I am unable to run the domain scripts when they connect their laptop - I guess I am not able to login to the domain with the local user account Any suggestions are welcome?
