So frustrating...for me and most likely all of you to have to keep 
seeing my name pop up on the list... but

I'm now following this page:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_and_configure_file_shares

When I get to the section SeDiskOperatorPrivilege, I'm getting the 
following error:

]# /usr/local/samba/bin/net rpc rights grant 'TS/Domain Admins' 
SeDiskOperatorPrivilege -Uadministrator
Enter administrator's password:
Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT

I thought maybe I had the "Domain Admins" wrong, but after trying a few 
other commands, I get basically the same thing. Googling only tells me 
this is a common error for about 487 different things, and none ever 
seem to provide solutions.

System restarts and restarting smbd, nmbd, and winbindd doesn't change 
the error.

Does this sound familiar to anyone else?
