I have both the local administrator and a domain administrator accounts.
I can login using both of them (but they both seem to use locally stored
profile).
I have mapped "Domain Users" to ntusers and "Domain Admins" to ntadmins
using net groupmap on the server and made user badcat member of ntusers
on the server snd root member of ntadmins. On the workstations, I added
LOCHNESKA\Domain Users to the Power Users group and LOCHNESKA\Domain
Admins to the Adminstrators group using the "Computer Administration"
mmc console accessible through control panels (not sure how exactly is
this called in English see http://public.toh.cz/samba/xp_groups.png for
a screenshot) in system tools->local users and groups->groups. I didn't
add them to the users folder in that console (for I want the server to
take care about the usernames, I guess this is how it's supposed to work)
