I hope I understand your question. I think you want the local administrator on a workstation to access a share on a server. The local administrator account on a workstation exists only on that workstation. It cannot access shares on another machine. This is so with Samba and Windows. I would do the following: Create a domain user account Add it to the local administrator's group on the workstation Grant it access to the share on the Samba server -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
