net 8 net Tool for administration of Samba and remote CIFS servers. net <ads|rap|rpc> -h -w workgroup -W myworkgroup -U user -I ip-address -p port -n myname -s conffile -S server -l -P -D debuglevel DESCRIPTION This tool is part of the samba 7 suite. The samba net utility is meant to work just like the net utility available for windows and DOS. The first argument should be used to specify the protocol to use when executing a certain command. ADS is used for ActiveDirectory, RAP is using for old (Win9x/NT3) clients and RPC can be used for NT4 and Windows 2000. If this argument is omitted, net will try to determine it automatically. Not all commands are available on all protocols. OPTIONS &stdarg.help; -w target-workgroup Sets target workgroup or domain. You have to specify either this option or the IP address or the name of a server. -W workgroup Sets client workgroup or domain -U user User name to use -I ip-address IP address of target server to use. You have to specify either this option or a target workgroup or a target server. -p port Port on the target server to connect to (usually 139 or 445). Defaults to trying 445 first, then 139. &stdarg.netbios.name; &stdarg.configfile; -S server Name of target server. You should specify either this option or a target workgroup or a target IP address. -l When listing data, give more information on each item. -P Make queries to the external server using the machine account of the local server. &stdarg.debug; COMMANDS CHANGESECRETPW This command allows the Samba machine account password to be set from an external application to a machine account password that has already been stored in Active Directory. DO NOT USE this command unless you know exactly what you are doing. The use of this command requires that the force flag (-f) be used also. There will be NO command prompt. Whatever information is piped into stdin, either by typing at the command line or otherwise, will be stored as the literal machine password. Do NOT use this without care and attention as it will overwrite a legitimate machine password without warning. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. TIME The NET TIME command allows you to view the time on a remote server or synchronise the time on the local server with the time on the remote server. TIME Without any options, the NET TIME command displays the time on the remote server. TIME SYSTEM Displays the time on the remote server in a format ready for /bin/date TIME SET Tries to set the date and time of the local server to that on the remote server using /bin/date. TIME ZONE Displays the timezone in hours from GMT on the remote computer. [RPC|ADS] JOIN [TYPE] [-U username[%password]] [options] Join a domain. If the account already exists on the server, and [TYPE] is MEMBER, the machine will attempt to join automatically. (Assuming that the machine has been created in server manager) Otherwise, a password will be prompted for, and a new account may be created. [TYPE] may be PDC, BDC or MEMBER to specify the type of server joining the domain. [RPC] OLDJOIN [options] Join a domain. Use the OLDJOIN option to join the domain using the old style of domain joining - you need to create a trust account in server manager first.

AUTHOR The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. The net manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij.
