Description

Description:
netr_isadmin() searches the user's list of GroupIDs for the Domain Admins group's well-known RID, and if it's discovered, it marks the user as a member of the Administrators group, giving it the privileges of that group. However, Domain Admins is not a member of the Administrators group in all deployments, and some customers prefer for a particular system's Administrators to be a different or smaller group. They should be able to do that by removing Domain Admins from the local Administrators group and adding their preferred group, but the check in netr_isadmin makes that ineffective; instead, they have to remove privileges from that local group, add a new local group with the same permissions, and add their preferred group to that one.

Steps to Reproduce:
Join an SMB server to a domain
remove "Domain Admins" from the local Administrators group (smbadm remove-member -m "Domain Admins@<domain>" Administrators)
connect to a share with a member of the Domain Admins group
Perform Administrative tasks on the share (i.e. taking ownership of files you do not own or have permissions on).

Expected Results:
Cannot perform Administrative tasks

Actual Results:
Can perform Administrative tasks
