Problem Using External Server Accounts

[sdeyell]

Does anyone have experience using Filemaker Server 7 with External Server accounts? I can't get it to work. I have created a filemaker external account with the group name "DBAdmins", and then I created a "DBAdmins" group in the Local Users and Groups area of my Windows 2000 Server. Then I installed Filemaker Server on that 2000 machine and set the Client Authentication setting to "Use Local user accounts and groups". But when I go to my client machine and try to log in with the name and password of a user I placed in the Windows 2000 DBAdmins usere group, it says it is invalid. Isn't this supposed to be how it works? Am I doing something wrong? Anyone have any troubleshooting tips for me?

I have tried and goes well. First create DBAdmins on FileMaker with all previleges, then you must have created a group DBAdmins on your Domain Server and then added your user account to the group. when you connect from client to server you enter immediatly without any password.

Ahh, there was one step I missed that made the difference. In the help file it mentions that you have to modify your Local Security settings so that those local groups have the option checked that allows those groups to "Log on as a service" That fixed it for me.
