Can I deploy software/applications through group or domain policy with samba?
Hello, Hope this helps you: http://www.laslow.net/?p=29 It's a guide on how to install fonts using WinInstall. This one creates a MSI package that you can install via GPO. maybe you're able to customize this to your needs, or already have a MSI package that you can install via GPO. let me know how you solved it, I'm interested in that too, but time is short ;-))) Regards, --- Mr. Olli On Fri, 2009-07-17 at 00:13 -0400, Adam Del Vecchio wrote:> Can I deploy software/applications through group or domain policy with samba?
Thats not via policy, but maybe it does what you want: http://wpkg.org/ You can execute commands on the client, or do a silent install. nice greets from vienna. -- Neu: GMX Doppel-FLAT mit Internet-Flatrate + Telefon-Flatrate f?r nur 19,99 Euro/mtl.!* http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02

Hi, No just use Samba4, it brings server side GPO support. If you miss some config options from samba3 you really need, you can try compile samba with "--enable-merged-build" to enable building samba3 +samba4. - samba3 then takes care of file sharing stuff - samba4 handles the AD stuff. see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Franky.

I just need an AD, file sharing and a couple of Windows server members, no printers, no nothing fancy. Best regards. -- Marcio Merlone
