[Samba] net rpc rights grant root SeDiskOperatorPrivilege failed with "Failed to grant privileges for root (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)"

[Nagaraj Shyam]

Hi,

I have a samba server setup as a domain member. I am trying to grant
SeDiskOperatorPrivilege to some user accounts e.g. "domainaname\User",
but I always get the above error. It doesnot matter what I specify as
the server in -S option to the command. The command syntax I use is:

net rpc rights grant "username" SeDiskOperatorPrivilege

OR

net -S ADserver -U support rpc rights grant 'domain\Administrator'
SeDiskOperatorPrivilege

I am trying to grant the above privilege because managing samba shares
through mmc from remote windows system is failing with:

_srvsvc_NetShareSetInfo: uid 10500 doesn't have the
SeDiskOperatorPrivilege privilege needed to modify share myshare

Uid 10500 is 'domain\Administrator' account

I can send the relevant smb.conf and any additional traces I need to
capture. Can anyone provide ideas on what could be going wrong? The
above feature(s) is supposed to be supported by samba 3.5.1 which I am
using.

Thanks for the help.

You need to tell net with which user you run the command:

net rpc rights grant USERNAME SeDiskOperatorPrivilege -Uroot

HTH,

Hi zoolook.

Thanks for the reply.

In my case I had got the command to work when the samba server was standalone.

I just figured out that I need to provide the domain admin password to change privileges if samba server has joined a domain ...
