NAME

       net - Tool for administration of Samba and remote CIFS servers.

SYNOPSIS

       net {<ads|rap|rpc>} [-h|--help] [-w|--workgroup workgroup] [-W|--myworkgroup myworkgroup]
        [-U|--user user] [-I|--ipaddress ip-address] [-p|--port port] [-n myname] [-s conffile]
        [-S|--server server] [-l|--long] [-v|--verbose] [-f|--force] [-P|--machine-pass]
        [-d debuglevel] [-V] [--request-timeout seconds] [-t|--timeout seconds] [-i|--stdin]
        [--tallocreport]

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

       -?|--help
           Print a summary of command line options.

       -k|--kerberos
           Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active Directory environment.

       -w|--workgroup 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|--myworkgroup workgroup
           Sets client workgroup or domain

       -U|--user user
           User name to use

       -I|--ipaddress 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
           Port on the target server to connect to (usually 139 or 445). Defaults to trying 445
           first, then 139.

       -n|--netbiosname <primary NetBIOS name>
           This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself. This
           is identical to setting the netbios name parameter in the smb.conf file. However, a
           command line setting will take precedence over settings in smb.conf.

       -S|--server server
           Name of target server. You should specify either this option or a target workgroup or
           a target IP address.

       -l|--long
           When listing data, give more information on each item.

       -v|--verbose
           When listing data, give more verbose information on each item.

       -f|--force
           Enforcing a net command.

           Only test command sequence, dry-run.

       -F|--flags FLAGS
           Pass down integer flags to a net subcommand.

       -C|--comment COMMENT
           Pass down a comment string to a net subcommand.

       -n|--myname MYNAME
           Use MYNAME as a requester name for a net subcommand.

           generated keytab file.

       --single-obj-repl
           When calling "net rpc vampire keytab" this option allows one to replicate just a
           single object to the generated keytab file.

       --clean-old-entries
           When calling "net rpc vampire keytab" this option allows one to cleanup old entries
           from the generated keytab file.

       --db
           Define dbfile for "net idmap" commands.

       --lock
           Activates locking of the dbfile for "net idmap check" command.

       -e|--encrypt
           This command line parameter requires the remote server support the UNIX extensions or
           that the SMB3 protocol has been selected. Requests that the connection be encrypted.
           Negotiates SMB encryption using either SMB3 or POSIX extensions via GSSAPI. Uses the
           given credentials for the encryption negotiation (either kerberos or NTLMv1/v2 if
           given domain/username/password triple. Fails the connection if encryption cannot be
           negotiated.

       -d|--debuglevel=level
           level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified
           is 1.

           The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the
           activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will
           be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day-to-day running - it generates a small
           amount of information about operations carried out.

           Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used
           when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers
           and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.

           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log level parameter in the
           smb.conf file.

       -V|--version
           Prints the program version number.

       -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
           The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server. The
           information in this file includes server-specific information such as what printcap
           file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to
           provide. See smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name is
           determined at compile time.

       -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
           Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname" will be appended
           (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the client.

       --option=<name>=<value>
           Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the command line. This
           overrides compiled-in defaults and options read from the configuration file.

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. The
       remote server must be specified with the -S option.

   TIME SYSTEM
       Displays the time on the remote server in a format ready for /bin/date. The remote server
       must be specified with the -S option.

   TIME SET
       Tries to set the date and time of the local server to that on the remote server using
       /bin/date. The remote server must be specified with the -S option.

   TIME ZONE
       Displays the timezone in hours from GMT on the remote server. The remote server must be
       specified with the -S option.

   [RPC|ADS] JOIN [TYPE] [--no-dns-updates] [-U username[%password]] [createupn=UPN]
       [createcomputer=OU] [machinepass=PASS] [osName=string osVer=string] [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.

       [UPN] (ADS only) set the principalname attribute during the join. The default format is
       host/netbiosname@REALM.

       [OU] (ADS only) Precreate the computer account in a specific OU. The OU string reads from
       top to bottom without RDNs, and is delimited by a '/'. Please note that '\' is used for
       escape by both the shell and ldap, so it may need to be doubled or quadrupled to pass
       through, and it is not used as a delimiter.

       [PASS] (ADS only) Set a specific password on the computer account being created by the
       join.

       [osName=string osVer=String] (ADS only) Set the operatingSystem and operatingSystemVersion
       attribute during the join. Both parameters must be specified for either to take effect.

   RPC TRUSTDOM
   RPC TRUSTDOM ADD DOMAIN
       Add a interdomain trust account for DOMAIN. This is in fact a Samba account named DOMAIN$
       with the account flag 'I' (interdomain trust account). This is required for incoming
       trusts to work. It makes Samba be a trusted domain of the foreign (trusting) domain. Users
       of the Samba domain will be made available in the foreign domain. If the command is used
       against localhost it has the same effect as smbpasswd -a -i DOMAIN. Please note that both
       commands expect a appropriate UNIX account.

   RPC TRUSTDOM DEL DOMAIN
       Remove interdomain trust account for DOMAIN. If it is used against localhost it has the
       same effect as smbpasswd -x DOMAIN$.

   RPC TRUSTDOM ESTABLISH DOMAIN
       Establish a trust relationship to a trusted domain. Interdomain account must already be
       created on the remote PDC. This is required for outgoing trusts to work. It makes Samba be
       a trusting domain of a foreign (trusted) domain. Users of the foreign domain will be made
       available in our domain. You'll need winbind and a working idmap config to make them
       appear in your system.

   RPC TRUSTDOM REVOKE DOMAIN
       Abandon relationship to trusted domain

   RPC TRUSTDOM LIST
       List all interdomain trust relationships.

   RPC TRUST
   RPC TRUST CREATE
       Create a trust object by calling lsaCreateTrustedDomainEx2. The can be done on a single
       server or on two servers at once with the possibility to use a random trust password.

       Options:

       otherserver
           Domain controller of the second domain

       otheruser

                   otherdomain=dom2.dom \
                   trustpw=12345678 \
                   -S srv1.dom1.dom

       Create a trust relationship between dom1 and dom2

               net rpc trust create \

           Lock the database while doing the check.

       --db <DB>
           Check the specified database.

       It reports about the finding of the following errors:

       Missing reverse mapping:
           A record with mapping A->B where there is no B->A. Default action in repair mode is to
           "fix" this by adding the reverse mapping.

       Invalid mapping:
           A record with mapping A->B where B->C. Default action is to "delete" this record.

       Missing or invalid HWM:
           A high water mark is not at least equal to the largest ID in the database. Default
           action is to "fix" this by setting it to the largest ID found +1.

       Invalid record:
           Something we failed to parse. Default action is to "edit" it in interactive and
           "delete" it in automatic mode.

   USERSHARE
       Starting with version 3.0.23, a Samba server now supports the ability for non-root users
       to add user defined shares to be exported using the "net usershare" commands.

       To set this up, first set up your smb.conf by adding to the [global] section: usershare
       path = /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares Next create the directory
       /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares, change the owner to root and set the group owner to the
       UNIX group who should have the ability to create usershares, for example a group called
       "serverops". Set the permissions on /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares to 01770. (Owner and
       group all access, no access for others, plus the sticky bit, which means that a file in
       that directory can be renamed or deleted only by the owner of the file). Finally, tell
       smbd how many usershares you will allow by adding to the [global] section of smb.conf a
       line such as : usershare max shares = 100. To allow 100 usershare definitions. Now,
       members of the UNIX group "serverops" can create user defined shares on demand using the
       commands below.

       The usershare commands are:
           net usershare add sharename path [comment [acl] [guest_ok=[y|n]]] - to add or change a
           user defined share.
           net usershare delete sharename - to delete a user defined share.
           net usershare info [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename] - to print info about a user
           defined share.
           net usershare list [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename] - to list user defined shares.

   USERSHARE ADD sharename path [comment] [acl] [guest_ok=[y|n]]
       Add or replace a new user defined share, with name "sharename".

       "path" specifies the absolute pathname on the system to be exported. Restrictions may be
       put on this, see the global smb.conf parameters: "usershare owner only", "usershare prefix
       allow list", and "usershare prefix deny list".

       The optional "comment" parameter is the comment that will appear on the share when browsed
       to by a client.

       The optional "acl" field specifies which users have read and write access to the entire
       share. Note that guest connections are not allowed unless the smb.conf parameter
       "usershare allow guests" has been set. The definition of a user defined share acl is:
       "user:permission", where user is a valid username on the system and permission can be "F",
       "R", or "D". "F" stands for "full permissions", ie. read and write permissions. "D" stands
       for "deny" for a user, ie. prevent this user from accessing this share. "R" stands for
       "read only", ie. only allow read access to this share (no creation of new files or
       directories or writing to files).

       The default if no "acl" is given is "Everyone:R", which means any authenticated user has
       read-only access.

       The optional "guest_ok" has the same effect as the parameter of the same name in smb.conf,
       in that it allows guest access to this user defined share. This parameter is only allowed
       if the global parameter "usershare allow guests" has been set to true in the smb.conf.

       There is no separate command to modify an existing user defined share, just use the "net
       usershare add [sharename]" command using the same sharename as the one you wish to modify
       and specify the new options you wish. The Samba smbd daemon notices user defined share
       modifications at connect time so will see the change immediately, there is no need to
       restart smbd on adding, deleting or changing a user defined share.

   USERSHARE DELETE sharename
       Deletes the user defined share by name. The Samba smbd daemon immediately notices this
       change, although it will not disconnect any users currently connected to the deleted
       share.

   USERSHARE INFO [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename]
       Get info on user defined shares owned by the current user matching the given pattern, or
       all users.

       net usershare info on its own dumps out info on the user defined shares that were created
       by the current user, or restricts them to share names that match the given wildcard
       pattern ('*' matches one or more characters, '?' matches only one character). If the '-l'
       or '--long' option is also given, it prints out info on user defined shares created by
       other users.

       The information given about a share looks like: [foobar] path=/home/jeremy comment=testme
       usershare_acl=Everyone:F guest_ok=n And is a list of the current settings of the user
       defined share that can be modified by the "net usershare add" command.

   USERSHARE LIST [-l|--long] wildcard sharename
       List all the user defined shares owned by the current user matching the given pattern, or
       all users.

       net usershare list on its own list out the names of the user defined shares that were
       created by the current user, or restricts the list to share names that match the given
       wildcard pattern ('*' matches one or more characters, '?' matches only one character). If
       the '-l' or '--long' option is also given, it includes the names of user defined shares
       created by other users.

   [RPC] CONF
       Starting with version 3.2.0, a Samba server can be configured by data stored in registry.
       This configuration data can be edited with the new "net conf" commands. There is also the
       possibility to configure a remote Samba server by enabling the RPC conf mode and
       specifying the address of the remote server.

       The deployment of this configuration data can be activated in two levels from the smb.conf
       file: Share definitions from registry are activated by setting registry shares to “yes” in
       the [global] section and global configuration options are activated by setting include =
       registry in the [global] section for a mixed configuration or by setting config backend =
       registry in the [global] section for a registry-only configuration. See the smb.conf(5)
       manpage for details.

       The conf commands are:
           net [rpc] conf list - Dump the complete configuration in smb.conf like format.
           net [rpc] conf import - Import configuration from file in smb.conf format.
           net [rpc] conf listshares - List the registry shares.
           net [rpc] conf drop - Delete the complete configuration from registry.
           net [rpc] conf showshare - Show the definition of a registry share.
           net [rpc] conf addshare - Create a new registry share.
           net [rpc] conf delshare - Delete a registry share.
           net [rpc] conf setparm - Store a parameter.
           net [rpc] conf getparm - Retrieve the value of a parameter.
           net [rpc] conf delparm - Delete a parameter.
           net [rpc] conf getincludes - Show the includes of a share definition.
           net [rpc] conf setincludes - Set includes for a share.
           net [rpc] conf delincludes - Delete includes from a share definition.

   [RPC] CONF LIST
       Print the configuration data stored in the registry in a smb.conf-like format to standard
       output.

   [RPC] CONF IMPORT [--test|-T] filename [section]
       This command imports configuration from a file in smb.conf format. If a section
       encountered in the input file is present in registry, its contents is replaced. Sections
       of registry configuration that have no counterpart in the input file are not affected. If
       you want to delete these, you will have to use the "net conf drop" or "net conf delshare"
       commands. Optionally, a section may be specified to restrict the effect of the import
       command to that specific section. A test mode is enabled by specifying the parameter "-T"
       on the commandline. In test mode, no changes are made to the registry, and the resulting
       configuration is printed to standard output instead.

   [RPC] CONF LISTSHARES
       List the names of the shares defined in registry.

   [RPC] CONF DROP
       Delete the complete configuration data from registry.

   [RPC] CONF SHOWSHARE sharename
       Show the definition of the share or section specified. It is valid to specify "global" as
       sharename to retrieve the global configuration options from registry.

   [RPC] CONF ADDSHARE sharename path [writeable={y|N} [guest_ok={y|N} [comment]]]
       Create a new share definition in registry. The sharename and path have to be given. The
       share name may not be "global". Optionally, values for the very common options
       "writeable", "guest ok" and a "comment" may be specified. The same result may be obtained
       by a sequence of "net conf setparm" commands.

   [RPC] CONF DELSHARE sharename
       Delete a share definition from registry.

   [RPC] CONF SETPARM section parameter value
       Store a parameter in registry. The section may be global or a sharename. The section is
       created if it does not exist yet.

   [RPC] CONF GETPARM section parameter
       Show a parameter stored in registry.

   [RPC] CONF DELPARM section parameter
       Delete a parameter stored in registry.

   [RPC] CONF GETINCLUDES section
       Get the list of includes for the provided section (global or share).

       Note that due to the nature of the registry database and the nature of include directives,
       the includes need special treatment: Parameters are stored in registry by the parameter
       name as valuename, so there is only ever one instance of a parameter per share. Also, a
       specific order like in a text file is not guaranteed. For all real parameters, this is
       perfectly ok, but the include directive is rather a meta parameter, for which, in the
       smb.conf text file, the place where it is specified between the other parameters is very
       important. This can not be achieved by the simple registry smbconf data model, so there is
       one ordered list of includes per share, and this list is evaluated after all the
       parameters of the share.

       Further note that currently, only files can be included from registry configuration. In
       the future, there will be the ability to include configuration data from other registry
       keys.

   [RPC] CONF SETINCLUDES section [filename]+
       Set the list of includes for the provided section (global or share) to the given list of
       one or more filenames. The filenames may contain the usual smb.conf macros like %I.

   [RPC] CONF DELINCLUDES section
       Delete the list of includes from the provided section (global or share).

           The check-file follows the normal registry file syntax with the following semantics:

                  •   <value name>=<value> checks whether the value exists and has the given
                      value.

                  •   <value name>=- checks whether the value does not exist.

                  •   [key] checks whether the key exists.

                  •   [-key] checks whether the key does not exist.

   REGISTRY EXPORT keyfile[opt]
       Export a key to a registration entries (.reg) file.

   REGISTRY CONVERT in out [[inopt] outopt]
       Convert a registration entries (.reg) file in.

   REGISTRY CHECK [-ravTl] [-o <ODB>] [--wipe] [<DB>]
       Check and repair the registry database. If no option is given a read only check of the
       database is done. Among others an interactive or automatic repair mode may be chosen with
       one of the following options

       -r|--repair
           Interactive repair mode, ask a lot of questions.

       -a|--auto
           Noninteractive repair mode, use default answers.

       -v|--verbose
           Produce more output.

       -T|--test
           Dry run, show what changes would be made but don't touch anything.

       -l|--lock
           Lock the database while doing the check.

       --reg-version={1,2,3}
           Specify the format of the registry database. If not given it defaults to the value of
           the binary or, if an registry.tdb is explizitly stated at the commandline, to the
           value found in the INFO/version record.

       [--db] <DB>
           Check the specified database.

       -o|--output <ODB>
           Create a new registry database <ODB> instead of modifying the input. If <ODB> is
           already existing --wipe may be used to overwrite it.

       --wipe
           Replace the registry database instead of modifying the input or overwrite an existing
           output database.

   EVENTLOG
       Starting with version 3.4.0 net can read, dump, import and export native win32 eventlog
       files (usually *.evt). evt files are used by the native Windows eventviewer tools.

       The import and export of evt files can only succeed when eventlog list is used in smb.conf
       file. See the smb.conf(5) manpage for details.

       The eventlog commands are:
           net eventlog dump - Dump a eventlog *.evt file on the screen.
           net eventlog import - Import a eventlog *.evt into the samba internal tdb based
           representation of eventlogs.
           net eventlog export - Export the samba internal tdb based representation of eventlogs
           into an eventlog *.evt file.

   EVENTLOG DUMP filename
       Prints a eventlog *.evt file to standard output.

   EVENTLOG IMPORT filename eventlog
       Imports a eventlog *.evt file defined by filename into the samba internal tdb
       representation of eventlog defined by eventlog.  eventlog needs to part of the eventlog
       list defined in smb.conf. See the smb.conf(5) manpage for details.

   EVENTLOG EXPORT filename eventlog
       Exports the samba internal tdb representation of eventlog defined by eventlog to a
       eventlog *.evt file defined by filename.  eventlog needs to part of the eventlog list
       defined in smb.conf. See the smb.conf(5) manpage for details.

   DOM
       Starting with version 3.2.0 Samba has support for remote join and unjoin APIs, both client
       and server-side. Windows supports remote join capabilities since Windows 2000.

       In order for Samba to be joined or unjoined remotely an account must be used that is
       either member of the Domain Admins group, a member of the local Administrators group or a
       user that is granted the SeMachineAccountPrivilege privilege.

       The client side support for remote join is implemented in the net dom commands which are:
           net dom join - Join a remote computer into a domain.
           net dom unjoin - Unjoin a remote computer from a domain.
           net dom renamecomputer - Renames a remote computer joined to a domain.

   DOM JOIN  domain=DOMAIN ou=OU account=ACCOUNT password=PASSWORD reboot
       Joins a computer into a domain. This command supports the following additional parameters:

              •   DOMAIN can be a NetBIOS domain name (also known as short domain name) or a DNS
                  domain name for Active Directory Domains. As in Windows, it is also possible to
                  control which Domain Controller to use. This can be achieved by appending the
                  DC name using the \ separator character. Example: MYDOM\MYDC. The DOMAIN
                  parameter cannot be NULL.

              •   OU can be set to a RFC 1779 LDAP DN, like
                  ou=mymachines,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com in order to create the machine account
                  in a non-default LDAP container. This optional parameter is only supported when
                  joining Active Directory Domains.

              •   ACCOUNT defines a domain account that will be used to join the machine to the
                  domain. This domain account needs to have sufficient privileges to join
                  machines.

              •   PASSWORD defines the password for the domain account defined with ACCOUNT.

              •   REBOOT is an optional parameter that can be set to reboot the remote machine
                  after successful join to the domain.

       Note that you also need to use standard net parameters to connect and authenticate to the
       remote machine that you want to join. These additional parameters include: -S computer and
       -U user.

       Example: net dom join -S xp -U XP\\administrator%secret domain=MYDOM
       account=MYDOM\\administrator password=topsecret reboot.

       This example would connect to a computer named XP as the local administrator using
       password secret, and join the computer into a domain called MYDOM using the MYDOM domain
       administrator account and password topsecret. After successful join, the computer would
       reboot.

   DOM UNJOIN account=ACCOUNT password=PASSWORD reboot
       Unjoins a computer from a domain. This command supports the following additional
       parameters:

              •   ACCOUNT defines a domain account that will be used to unjoin the machine from
                  the domain. This domain account needs to have sufficient privileges to unjoin
                  machines.

              •   PASSWORD defines the password for the domain account defined with ACCOUNT.

              •   REBOOT is an optional parameter that can be set to reboot the remote machine
                  after successful unjoin from the domain.

       Note that you also need to use standard net parameters to connect and authenticate to the
       remote machine that you want to unjoin. These additional parameters include: -S computer
       and -U user.

       Example: net dom unjoin -S xp -U XP\\administrator%secret account=MYDOM\\administrator
       password=topsecret reboot.

       This example would connect to a computer named XP as the local administrator using
       password secret, and unjoin the computer from the domain using the MYDOM domain
       administrator account and password topsecret. After successful unjoin, the computer would
       reboot.

   DOM RENAMECOMPUTER newname=NEWNAME account=ACCOUNT password=PASSWORD reboot
       Renames a computer that is joined to a domain. This command supports the following
       additional parameters:

              •   NEWNAME defines the new name of the machine in the domain.

              •   ACCOUNT defines a domain account that will be used to rename the machine in the
                  domain. This domain account needs to have sufficient privileges to rename
                  machines.

              •   PASSWORD defines the password for the domain account defined with ACCOUNT.

              •   REBOOT is an optional parameter that can be set to reboot the remote machine
                  after successful rename in the domain.

       Note that you also need to use standard net parameters to connect and authenticate to the
       remote machine that you want to rename in the domain. These additional parameters include:
       -S computer and -U user.

       Example: net dom renamecomputer -S xp -U XP\\administrator%secret newname=XPNEW
       account=MYDOM\\administrator password=topsecret reboot.

       This example would connect to a computer named XP as the local administrator using
       password secret, and rename the joined computer to XPNEW using the MYDOM domain
       administrator account and password topsecret. After successful rename, the computer would
       reboot.

   G_LOCK
       Manage global locks.

   G_LOCK DO lockname timeout command
       Execute a shell command under a global lock. This might be useful to define the order in
       which several shell commands will be executed. The locking information is stored in a file
       called g_lock.tdb. In setups with CTDB running, the locking information will be available
       on all cluster nodes.

              •   LOCKNAME defines the name of the global lock.

              •   TIMEOUT defines the timeout.

              •   COMMAND defines the shell command to execute.

   G_LOCK LOCKS
       Print a list of all currently existing locknames.

   G_LOCK DUMP lockname
       Dump the locking table of a certain global lock.

   TDB
       Print information from tdb records.

   TDB LOCKING key [DUMP]
       List sharename, filename and number of share modes for a record from locking.tdb. With the
       optional DUMP options, dump the complete record.

              •   KEY Key of the tdb record as hex string.

   HELP [COMMAND]
       Gives usage information for the specified command.
