Hi all,

this happens with 11.0U4 and 11.1BETA. I set up the domain controller service and joined the domain with a PC running Windows 7. Installation of RSAT and managing of DNS and Active Directory Users and Computers works as intended.

But when I try to use the group policy management tool to add an object that automatically sets users' home directories, I always get a small popup merely stating "invalid parameter".

I then tried this to get some more detail:
Code:
root@freenas:~ # samba-tool gpo create "Home directories" -U Administrator
Password for [EFFEFF\Administrator]:
ERROR(runtime): uncaught exception - (-1073741811, 'An invalid parameter was passed to a service or function.')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 176, in _run
	return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/gpo.py", line 1000, in run
	conn.set_acl(sharepath, fs_sd, sio)


Any ideas, what's wrong, here?

Thanks,
Patrick

OK. I thought I might be doing something wrong because the "Samba as DC" documentation describes precisely this feature ...
I don't have access to the system in question, so I'll try to recreate the problem with a fresh installation in VMware - makes it easier for everyone, I figure.

Kind regards
Patrick

And it seems to be present at least since 3 years ago:

Guys, this is a show stopper bug! What good is a Windows domain controller that cannot manage group policy objects?
