Adding 'Administrator' as a user in Samba

mlsrar · 06-12-2009, 08:51 AM

I'm trying to migrate users from an existing Samba-3/NT4 domain to an Active Directory domain. The requirements state that an 'Administrator' account be created.

Samba refuses to let me create an account with a capital 'A'.

Any ideas on how I can get the account created so I can migrate?

IIRC, Windows doesn't care about case sensitivity - Administrator is seen the same as administrator. So why not just create an account called administrator? (BTW, most sites I've worked at disable the inbuilt account and create a new admin account - apparently it's good practice).
