LPI Exam 300-300 Topic 5 Question 12 Discussion

The samba-tool group add command is used to add a new group to the Samba Active Directory. This command has several parameters to customize the group creation process. Two of the available parameters are --sid and --group-type.

--sid:

The --sid parameter allows you to specify a Security Identifier (SID) for the new group.

Example usage:

samba-tool group add mygroup --sid=S-1-5-21-1234567890-123456789-1234567890-1234

This command will create a new group named mygroup with the specified SID.

--group-type:

The --group-type parameter allows you to specify the type of the group being created. This can be a security group or a distribution group.

Example usage:

samba-tool group add mygroup --group-type=security

This command will create a new security group named mygroup.
