Thanks Jerry, for pointing me in the right direction - but now I have a
different problem.
I've got a Windows NT Domain "WHEELZ" which I've sucessfully joined
(users connect to my shares w/no problem) but it doesn't seem like my NT
admin accounts are getting admin permissions. I'm trying to browse to
the printers folder on a 2k box and run the add printer wizard to add
drivers for the printer. If I log on as administrator, browse to the
printer, and do properties->sharing tab, click "add additional drivers,"
and I try to add drivers for NT 4.0 (intel) I get the error
The "Add printer" button is also not appearing, and, I'm not able to
write to the "print$" share... However, I've created a user "root" in my
domain, and if I log on using that user, the "add printer" button
appears and I'm able to write to the print$ share, but when I try to add
the additional drivers I get
Unable to install the Intel, Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 driver. Operation could not be completed
I have created the print$ share properly (since I'm able to browse to
it) and it's owned by root. Inside I've created a "WIN40" directory and
a "W32X86" directory.
Any help would be much appreciated. I've attached my smb.conf file
below.
Thanks -
Nick
