User Manager not listing all groups

[smantz]

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)

Code:

sudo apt-get install system-config-samba cifs-utils libnss-winbind winbind gvfs-backends

Then:

Code:

gksu leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf

Add/Check or Modify the following
  name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
  local master = no
Then:

Code:

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
