Simple Maps Are Not Being Mapped Correctly for User Group Mappings (281772)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 1.0
  • Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 2.0
This article was previously published under Q281772

SYMPTOMS

The Services for Unix Administration utility has an option to configure the User Name Mapping service. On the MAPS tab, you can enable the display of simple maps for users or groups. If you select Groups, the simple maps are displayed. However, if you create an advanced mapping for a group, the simple group maps are no longer displayed. Even though the Service for Unix Administration tool in the graphical user interface did not show the simple group maps, the Mapadmin.exe command-line utility still displays the simple maps.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because a logic error removes the simple maps if an advanced map exists.
