Samba 2.0.4.b and NT4WS

[Steven Kirks]

Gordon:

First, add the NT workstations to your domain.  That should solve the RPC
failed issue.  Next, run the User Manager application on the local
workstation.  A window opens with two sections: top and bottom.  In the
bottom section, look for a group called Administrators.  Double click the
group to open it.  A smaller window opens with the title "Local Group
Properties".  Add the domain account of the user you want to the group.

That should be it.

Good luck,

Steve

I have Samba set up as a PDC on my network. Since upgrading to 2.0.4b
I've been getting the error "RPC failed" when browsing to the Samba
server via Explorer. Works fine on 95 and 98 clients.
The NT boxes are configured as belonging to the network as a workgroup,
not a domain, as I couldn't get them set up with the user having local
admin rights. I haven't found a way to add the \\domain\user to the
local administrator group. I'm sure I must be missing something obvious.

Any tips on either of these problems would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
