[Samba] adding computer in domain with user other than root

[Jean-Rene Cormier]

My smb.conf is pretty basic, I don't see anything else other than the
domain admin group that would change that behaviour.

Here's part of my smb.conf:

[global]
        workgroup = DOMAIN
        netbios name = SERVER
        server string = SERVER
        interfaces = 192.168.0.2 127.0.0.1
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        username map = /etc/samba/private/usermap
        unix password sync = Yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE

        name resolve order = wins bcast hosts
        domain admin group = root, admina, adminb
        logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u
        logon drive = I:
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 35
        preferred master = Yes
        local master = Yes
        domain master = Yes
        wins support = Yes
                                                                                     	ldap server = 127.0.0.1
        ldap port = 389
        ldap suffix = "dc=domain,dc=com"
        ldap admin dn = "uid=smbadmin,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com"
        ldap ssl = Yes
