similar to: Moving Domains - profiles question

Hi, Sorry if this is slightly OT. I have just moved from a WindowNT domain to a Samba3x PDC. What I'd really like now is some tools to help me manage users. Some of the things on my wish list are to be able to edit a remote registry (the user's profiles are local) and Remote desktop access so I do not have to run over their desks every time there is a message they don't understand.

Yes, this would be possible; 1. Vampire your accounts on to a new Samba DC 2. Disconnect it from network 3. Denote your NT Dc's 4. Rejoin them to the Samba Domain NOTE: As the other person said, while possible, this would be a bitch of a job. You said you need to maintain your NT server anyway, why not just put the files and printers and what not on samba and leave the user accounts to

Hi, I recently migrated to a Samba3x domain. One issue that has been reported to me is that XP users cannot change their password from their PC. I have done some searching and I haven't seen a straight forward answer to this. My config is ldap primary + Samba PDC on host A ldap slave + samba BDC on host B I see this error in the machine log when someone attempts to change their password:

Found it. It turns out that the config file for libnss-ldap is /etc/libnss-ldap.conf on my distro (Debian). So NSS was ignoring the config that I had been in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and taking it from /etc/libnss-ldap.conf. The former had this "nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?sub" and the latter this nss_base_group ou=group,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk?one. Once I edited group to

Hi, I am not using roaming profiles, but there is a feature in NT 4 where you store a 'Default User' profile under the C:\winnt\system32\repel\import\scripts\. When a user logins into the Doman for the first time, they get a copy of that profile. I have tried having a copy of the same profile to both the netlogon share and the profiles share on my Samba PDC but the profile does not get

Hi, I have Samba 3.5.6 that is running as a PDC for testing purposes. In my production environment I still use a NT4 domain and all the samba member server use domain security. One of the irritations I have with the Samba members set-up is that I have to add the users to the local server so that files created by a domain user are owned by them and not the guest account. Ideally I would like to

Hi, I have a strange problem with a domain member server. The Samba3 domain master/wins server can not lookup the host.

Hi, I have noticed that the Windows 7 machines that I have recently installed and joined to our domain take about 40 seconds on average to go from sign in to the desktop displaying. I can't find any explanation for the delay. When the machine are in a work group they login very quickly and the XP machines login at a normal rate. I have searched and not found any articles that are relevant.

Folks I'm new to ISOLINUX and I've compiled a new Linux distribution of my oppwn (based on LinuxFromScratch). Now I want ot create a bootable CD with it - I don't need swap or anything like that as the bootable CD will simply run a couple of scripts to copy files onto a machine's hard drive. What exactly do I need to put in my isolinux.cfg file? Do I *need* to have a initrd or

Folks I've just tried booting the 1st Linux CD I've made using Isolinux and it fails. At boot time I see: Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: No Emulation ISOLINUX 1.67 2002-02-03 Copyright (C) 1994-2001 H.

When I set the 'maximum password age' to 0, my password expired immediately after I did a smbpasswd. Shouldn't setting it to 0 mean the password will never expire? Or are there any other way to set password to never expire? Here is the microsoft's interpretation on 'maximum password age':

Hi, Host: CentOS 5.5 Guest: Ubuntu maverick I am having a horrid time trying to create a guest on my xen machine. I have tried several method.

Hi, I have been testing out a samba installation and am slowly getting to a point where I am ready to push the project live. I have been playing with a domain member server that uses winbindd. I have created a share in /tmp called public to see what happens with user and group permissions. I created the directory as follows: mkdir /tmp/public; chgrp users /tmp/public; chmod 2777 /tmp/public.

Hi, Suddenly when I add a new workstation to out Samba3 (LDAP backend) domain, I have to give the root username and password. When I set-up the samba3 domain initially, I could use domain\admin user and their password but that has started to give me "unknown user or bad password". This last error is from a Windows7 machine I am currently trying to add. I have merged the registry fix

Hi All, What I would like to do is the following: a) fit a probability function to a measured data set. This would be user specified, e.g., normal, lognormal, etc. and then b) take the probability function and plot it with the histogram of the measured data set. This function would be displayed as a smooth curve. This would involve "re-sizing" the probability function to match

Hi All, Two quick questions. 1) I am using write.table to output data.frames to ascii files, e.g., test <- data.frame(rnorm(2)) write.table(test,file="output") "rnorm.2." "1" -0.718560808193286 "2" -1.07965693020656 Is it possible to output the data without the first column, i.e., "rnorm.2." -0.718560808193286 -1.07965693020656 2) Is
