[Samba] Slightly OT - WinXP client management under Mac OS X samba
Hi all, first post, and slightly off-topic... I've setup a Mac OS X Server 10.3.5 network running samba for WinXP client logins. I have the logins working properly, hitting the right homedirs and getting folder redirection via a login script in /etc/netlogon/. Now, the main question I have is how to manage the clients once they've logged in. I made a few changes using the group policy editor on a local machine to change the login window settings (caching last logins, welcome message, etc.) but I'm not a windows guy, and I'd like to find a good tutorial on how to limit apps, control panels, etc... Any help is appreciated... Regards, Dave

Perhaps one of the HOWTOs we are in need of is a "Windows Administration for Linux users" guide. Is it already out there? Good question. I've not heard of it if it is out there. David, I for one, would like to know the trick you used to change the welcome message. :-)> Hi all, first post, and slightly off-topic... > > I've setup a Mac OS X Server 10.3.5 network running samba for WinXP > client logins.
