If you are using SME Server as a domain controller and the workstations have joined the domain then the following is possible.
If you are using SME Server as a domain controller and the workstations have joined the domain then the following is possible.
The domain always has three groups created, assigned as follows:
The domain always has three groups created, assigned as follows:
Domain Admins => admin Domain
{| border="1" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"
!Group Description
Domain Guests => nobody
!Domain Rights
|-
|Domain Admins
|admin
|-
|Domain Users
|shared (everyone)
|-
|Domain Guests
|nobody
|}
However if you create a group and name it whatever you want but put one of the above for the description then the newly created group will replace the above mapping. So if you create a group called "admins" and give it a description of "Domain Admins" then anyone you assign to this group will be a domain admin and also a local admin on ANY box that has joined the domain.

Once you've set up your server, there's typically a delay of one or more days before your Domain Registrar publishes your domain address records (the domain name or names and the associated numerical IP address) so that the information is accessible to other computers on the Internet. Until it does, incoming mail won't be able to find you and computers elsewhere on the Internet won't be able to contact your server using your domain name (for example, www.yourdomain.xxx). However, on your local network you should be able to connect to your server using the short names of 'www' (for web access) and 'mail' (for e-mail clients).}}
