Hello all: I have just setup about 30 new Compaq EVOs with Windows 2000 sp2 and have them all up and running well and using the Samba Domain Controller like a charm. I do have some questions that I am hoping someone will be able to shed some light on. 1. I initially had problems with what appeared to be profile corruption but upon further inspection I found that for some reason, when a person in the domain logged in they tried to connect to their profile as the user "nobody". This would result in the user being denied their profile since at the time nobody was not allowed. I added the following to smb.conf [global] guest account = nobody and [profiles] guest ok = yes and this fixed the profile being denied. Upon looking at the logs however, I see that the users are still frequently being logged into their profiles as "nobody". Is this normal? And has my current setup become incredibly insecure? 2. I have setup all these machines and I am having several small Office 97 bugs that require several registry keys to be edited. Does anyone have the mastery to tell me how to write a login script that will merge some saved registry keys to the local machines registry? Or is there a better way to do this? Any help on either of these questions would be most appreciated.

I can only answer your second question: You certainly have a netlogon share where the logon CMD script is located. You should move the registry file (.reg) with the fixes to the netlogon folder and import it from your script with a line like: regedit -s fixes.reg (the -s causes regedit not to display that annoying "are you sure you want to merge this data into the registry?" dialog box) Note that this will be executed every time the user logon, wich could be a problem if the registry keys in question were to change in time (you would be restoring them at every logon). Hope this helps, Boogerman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Cline" <acline@rimvisions.com> To: <samba@lists.samba.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 10:55 PM Subject: [Samba] Scripting Question and Profile Question> Hello all: > > I have just setup about 30 new Compaq EVOs with Windows 2000 sp2 > and have them all up and running well and using the Samba Domain > Controller like a charm.
