[Samba] Group add trouble

[Mike Lander]

I am trying to add domain user 'mlander' to the "Domain Admin" group 
via srvtools user manager and at the suse command prompt with denied errors
both instances logged in as root. 
Version 3.0.23d-19.7-1354-SUSE-SL10.2
    I am now trying to upgrade to 3.0.25c. I am on the right track here?

Thanks
Mike
