[Samba] Samba Registry Configuration- Cannot open smbconf

[mallapadi niranjan]

Hi,

you seem to be right,  If i grant  "SeDiskOperatorPrivilege" rights it
works,  But i found that if i do not open any share from the samba
server and open regedit only and access the Samba registry it doesn't
work,

But if i open the samba share and then open regedit and access the
samba registry i am able open smbconf key


Thanks
Niranjan
