While trying to help a co-worker in the UK, we determined that he could
successfully run mkpasswd without the "-u" option, but with this option
he got the following error:
NERR_UserNotFound (i.e., 2221)
Since he was located far away, I did not pursue this further.
While helping another co-worker locally, but part of another domain, we
determined that for some reason he had to explicitly specify the domain
name:
$ mkpasswd -d -u user domain
What happens if you try the above command with user and domain replaced
as appropriate?
BTW, I found the following (http://faqchest.dynhost.com/msdn/DCOM/dcom-00/dcom-0008/dcom00082115_15544.html):
I am writing a program using the LAN Manager API. I have a loop that
calls NetGetDCName() for each domain in a list. Some of the domains
are visible through WINS, and some aren't (I have LMHOSTS entries for
them). NetGetDCName() always succeeds for the WINS-visible domains;
it always returns NERR_DCNotFound for the LMHOSTS-visible domains.
Here's the kicker: when I run USRMGR.EXE and point it at one of the
LMHOSTS-visible domains, it connects to a domain controller without
a problem.
What am I doing wrong that USRMGR is doing right?
My LMHOSTS entries:
10.0.0.1 PDCNAME #PRE #DOM:DOMAIN
10.0.0.1 "DOMAIN \0x1B" #PRE
10.0.0.1 "DOMAIN \0x1C" #PRE
Could your problem be similar to the above?
HTH,
Jason
