This allows 26administrators to add, delete or modify user and group accounts for <FONT COLOR=purple>Microsoft Windows</FONT> 27operating systems using, for example, User Manager utility under MS-Windows. 28To enable the use of this utility, samba needs to be configured correctly. The 29<TT>smb.conf</TT> configuration file must contain the following directives : 30<PRE> 31ldap delete dn = Yes 32add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" 33add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" 34add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p "%g" 35add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u" "%g" 36delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x "%u" "%g" 37set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g "%g" "%u" 38</PRE> 39Remark: the two directives <TT>delete user script</TT> et <TT>delete group 40script</TT> can also be used. However, an error message can appear in User Manager 41even if the operations actually succeed. 42If you want to enable this behaviour, you need to add 43<PRE> 44delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel "%u" 45delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupdel "%g" 46</PRE> 47<A NAME="toc13"></A> 48<H3><A NAME="htoc25">5.2</A> Migrating an NT4 PDC to Samba3</H3> 49The account migration procedure becomes really simple when samba is configured to use 50the <FONT COLOR=purple>smbldap-tools</FONT>.
