Thanks Dale for the quick response.

That is correct, and also the version I have arrived at after several version upgrades. This is the first server I have installed at this level of Samba.

1) Running as root, I changed the script from "net groupmap modify" to "net groupmap add".
2) I stopped Samba
3) I deleted the file /var/lib/samba/group_mapping.tdb
4) I started Samba
5) I exited root back to my normal account
6) I ran the command: net rpc rights grant LDS-DEMO\\ldsinst SeMachineAccountPrivilege
and unfortunately it failed with the same error.

"So close..."

Thanks!
