Hi Steve; I am using samba as a file and print server currently, we just want to take things to the next level. It seems that the settings we have work just fine for both Quickbooks and Act while as a file server, it still just happens to be that quickbooks wants power user privileges, which are lost when your users are domain users.

I have not yet tried multi-user though, so perhaps this isn't helpful. As a rule, I use Samba as a file server, not a Domain controller. I am not yet confident of the domain server implementation, along with the NT print server emulation. I server up printing, but do not attempt to supply the drivers. It just seems to work out easier and better for everyone. One issue you may want to look into is the "create mask" setting. On multi-user database applications, it is not uncommon to have the first user create a lock file. Other users need to access this file, but cannot if they have inadequate permissions. Make sure to set the following for the share containing Quickbooks: create mask = 0777I have done this, as well as turning off opportunistic locking (oplocks = no) on all shares that contain Act, Access databases, as well as any other multi-user applications,solving the problem in every case.Hope this helps...Steve----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hillyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 6:27 PM Subject: [Samba] Domain Users cannot use quickbooks > Hi all; > > the other day we tried to get ambitious and get the office onto a > samba domain.
