Mac Server 10.3 and Windows logins

I help run a Mac Server 10.3.The server is set up as the PDC using ldap for authentication. We have set up samba to authenticate our windows machines.

We have around 400 machines half of which are windows running from win95 to xp.

We have everything working fine. windows machines log in and their home directories are mounting fine.

the problem occurs when I try to run poledit to manage the security of the windows machines. If you use poledit to set the machine security it works fiine. If you use it to set an individual user security it works fine. The problem occurs when you try and set the group security.

I have mapped the groups using the groumap command in terminal. Everything seems to be set up correctly. It just doesn’t recognise the groups.

Anyone have any ideas!!!!
