Greetings,
I have Power Broker Open installed on my LinuxLite machine for AD authentication. When I go into User Manager, the Groups Menu ends with the group "List". I am sure there are more after that but I can't get to them. Any suggestions?

Does the User Manager show the full list of groups when you are not connected to the Domain?
-
No it does not. It shows standard and domain groups/functions up to "List" then stops.
-
That's unusual that it would show a group like eg. 'domain^users' as shown in your first screenshot when you are not connected to the Domain.
Go to Menu, type 'user' and click on Users and Groups. See if that tool helps.
-
I've looked at "users and groups" app, logged in as the domain admin, and I see all the Linux "built -in" groups, no domain groups and the only user in the drop down is the "machine" administrator account. I don't see any of the domain users (as I do in user manager). Any ideas why user manager stops at list?
-
No idea sorry, our app that has not been tested with AD. Do you need to add yourself to a specific group?
-
Well, the main issue arise when trying to allow an AD authenticated user with local machine administrator privileges. In "Users and Groups" I get an error when trying to "add" and AD user. In User Manager I can't go down to add a AD user (which I can see) to the Sudo group because it stops at List. I did use the command line to add my AD admin (admin) to the Sudo group.
That said, it's a bit of a pain to have to do that with each user from command line. Hopefully, this make some sense.
As an AD admin excited to use Linux -Lite, it would be nice to have an app/daemon that would add dependencies on install, and have a test user/group interface. maybe dreaming but, it would make the transition much easier.

Have a look around the internet, do some in-depth searching, see if you can find what you're looking for.

Hi,
Maybe irrelevant or off topic..??
When I first started using Linux inc Linux Lite(my only OS now) I had real issues to get named services(?) running so I could just use PC names to/from Linux <> Windows.
Long story short, I now on every install/re-install do the following.(some of this maybe uneccessary, but I have yet to have issues)
sudo apt-get install system-config-samba cifs-utils libnss-winbind winbind gvfs-backends
Then:
gksu leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf
Add/Check or Modify the following
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
local master = no
Then:
gksu leafpad /etc/nsswitch.conf
Then change the line:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
To this:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns
Then re-boot
