The net command on Windows workstations often doesn't have the same
possibilities as it does on a Samba PDC. The command should be run on a
Samba PDC, not the Windows workstation. It is then "once and for all".

Following the Samba "HOWTOs" from A to Z is the best alternative. Once
you've learned every possibility by heart (take you a month or six ;)
you're good to go.
