	I have the same problem, have you fixed it?, any idea?

	Thanks

Trying to add   "MYDOMAIN/Domain Users"   to the "LOCALMACHINE/Power
Users"   group results in the following error:

Information returned from the object picker for object "Domain Users"
was  incomplete. The object will not be processed

A similar problem happens with the default "Domain Admins" group (which is
by default added to "LOCALMACHINE/Administrators") is that  logging in as
root, does NOT give administrative privileges.  For this, the workaround is
to add "MYDOMAIN/root" to the "LOCALMACHINE/Administrators"
group.  Unfortunately, this doesn't work for "Domain Users" because it
doesn't scale (can't add 100 users to every machine!!!!!).  Windows 2000
machine's group membership in a similar manner works 100% properly.

Is this an XP issue or a Samba issue???  Does anyone know of any
workarounds?

Machine info:
RedHat 8.0
Samba 2.2.7
x86 RAID server.

XP professional machines have the registry hacked (properly?) to
authenticate through the samba PDC
requiresignorseal = 0
signsecurechannel = 0
