[Samba] NT4 "at" jobs & samba

[Ed Lally]

Gordon,

You need to change the account used by the Scheduler service, so that it
runs under an account known to Samba.  Otherwise, Samba won't be able to
authenticate the Scheduler.  I believe, by default, the Scheduler runs under
the LocalSystem account.

Regards,

Ed
