Samba 2.2.1a + Invalid Tag

[Arne Van Renterghem]

Hi,

I'm having problems using user manager and server manager in combination
with a samba PDC.

My setup is :
- Linux Redhat 7.0 file server + PDC (Samba)
- 15 Windows 2000 Pro workstations (SP2)
- 1 Win95
- 1 Windows NT Server 4.0 (SP4) + exchange server 5.5 (sp 3)
- 1 Winbdows NT Workstation

When activating one of the usermanager for domains or servermanager I get an
error "The tag is invalid. Do you want to select another domain to
administer ?".

If I choose another domain and use the local computerdomain, no problems. If
I try again, the same error occurs. If I set "slow connection" then I can
search for users on the domain, see their properties, but I cannot save any
changes made".

This problem was already reported several times, but as far as I know, no
solution has been given.

I understand that the "tag message" occurs only with samba 2.2.1a and that
the messages is normally intended to show that there are 2 PDC in the
network.

Any help would be appreciated, because it is impossible to manage an
exchange server properly this way.

Linked to that I have a second problem. If I try to reach my exchange server
through the internet using the IMAP protocol, I can only reach the
Administrator mailbox, because that is the only one that gets authenticated.
I tried adding the different mailbox users to the local EXCHANGE computers,
but no luck. Using outlook with the EXCHANGE server in the network and with
the propriatary protocol works fine for all users. But IMAP seems
impossible. 

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Arne
