Problem with SUBINACL

[j2]

All,
Anyone seen this one before?
Trying to use SUBINACL command to setowner.

From Windows 2000 member server, I map a drive to another system and run
SUBINACL /noverbose /subdirectories fred\* /setowner=UK\fred, first line of
processing is
'Default Sam Server will be 1' - (this isn't the name of any DC) and then I
get no SID -> account name resolutions by the command and command fails with
'1722 RPC server is unavailable'

Same command works fine from NT4 workstation to same remote drive ... does
exactly what I want!

Also, command works fine on Win2000 local drives ...

Thanks,
James

Which resource kit is this subinacl from, W2K or NT4?

It appears you have found a bug... I tried the same thing but got slightly
different errors:

Default Sam Server will be 0
LookupAccountName : setowner 1722 The RPC server is unavailable.

Current object Y:\Temp\delete\* will not be processed

I was able to set the owner if I used the owners SID in the command. For a
workaround you may want to try that if this is holding you up on anything.

This worked fine using SubInACL from Supplement ONE, tip 3277 in the 'NT Reg
Hacks' at http://www.jsiinc.com

Joe,
I needed to get something working quickly so used the SETOWNER program ...
works fine.

Thanks,

I'm having this problem, too:
H:\cytex\database>SubInACl /noverbose /file .
Default Sam Server will be linone-3Dg1
It should say "...will be Allinone-3" ; the 1st character is lost and
"Dg1" is garbage.

It seems to me the bug is SubInACL.exe (at least the one last modified
Thursday, December 02, 1999, 14:54:42", from the the FIRST release of
the W2K Resource Kit), when looking up the Default Sam Server name on
Dynamic Disks but NOT Basic Disks, references the name incorrectly
(wrong string offset problably) so gets the name wrong and so fails to
find the server, so can't lookup up SIDs, among other possible
problems from this failure.

And I notice Markus F. Meisinger also finds the SubInACL.exe bug is is
with DYNAMIC DISKS ONLY (see
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&selm=u4dKtRJeAHA.2000%40tkmsftngp04
)

And at least 4 other people have reported this bug (see
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=SubInAcl+%22Default+Sam+Server%22&hl=en
), though they didn't know why it was happening.

I find no documentation of the SubInACL bug by Microsoft on
www.Microsoft.com/search
nor, sadly, fixes to SubInACL.exe posted on the the W2K Free Tools
Downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/default.asp
-- SubInACL.exe isn't there).

Nonetheless, Jerold Schulman of JSIInc.com fortunately says that
SUPPLIMENT ONE OF THE W2K RESOURCE KIT FIXES THIS PROBLEM and and
points to http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBG/TIP3200/rh3277.htm which gives
gives details to on Suppliment One and allows you to order it (see
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&selm=0kdjrt4452956m26ksvifshtp84l230atc%404ax.com
).

If Suppliment One fixes this bug, it's annoying that Microsoft doesn't
release the bug fixes for free download. But, in any case, IF SOMEONE
WOULD MOST KINDLY EMAIL ME THE MOST RECENT (Suppliment One)
SubInACL.EXE, or a URL to it, I'd be glad to check to see if the
problem is indeed resolved.

Thanks kindly for everyone's help & support!
