Hi,

This is my first time to configure Samba server as a member server in AD 
domain,

So, I have a question about how to configure a group name with one or more
spaces in smb.conf?

As we know, this kind of group names are very common in Windows environment.

For example, set ¡°valid users¡± parameter:

Usually , a name starting with @ is represented group,

   valid users = username, @GroupName,¡­

But if the group name includes spaces, e.g. ¡°it dept¡±, ¡°sales dept¡±,

How can I set them correctly?

(I set them as @¡±it dept¡±, but the winbind log file tells me ¡°group it 
dept
in domain XXXX does not exist¡±,

But I can list this group using wbinfo ¨Cg)

Wish someone give me a advice!

>Thanks in advance!

Hello Liu,

If you have have a group such as Domain members you muse use "@group name". 
You seem to be missing ""  hThis should solve your problem.

  comment = Videos & Movies
  path = /data/Video
  writeable = no
  browsable = yes
  read only = yes
  valid users = "@Domain Users"
