Hi!

I have succesfully setup a Samba server as a Domain Controller. I have about 7 users. Wow!

I have three Windows XP machines that logon to the domain. Now with Windows XP there is this thing called group policy editor, how to I make policies and apply to them to everyone on the network?

Secondly, I have a user called "admin" which is really root in linux. This user has domain admin priviliges (it can create/edit/delete users using NT User Manager). But what I want in addition is for this user to have local admin privileges, so I can modify the file system, hardware etc....


Thanks,

David

I tried to map it to a group:
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nobody
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Administrators" unixgroup=ntadmins

Some more information:

Windows XP reports that in properties of the Administrators group:
