Well, I finally solved my problem of not being able to run executables on a Win95 client from a samba share. At the DOS prompt, I had to issue... C:> net use X: \\SAMBASERVER\SHARE and then go through My_Computer to the X: drive. Evidently the executables were looking for data files that were not in the path. If I add this to a logon script, setting up this (and others) drive would be automated. I know that I can setup a logon script for each user by adding... logon script = %U.bat into smb.conf, where user1.bat might contain the following... net use X: \\SAMBASERVER\user1 net use P: \\SAMBASERVER\public that would setup the two drives X and P. However, this would mean I need to create a logon script for each user. Since only the home share would change for each user (user1 in the example), is there a way to setup one logon script for everyone that would automatically factor in the user's particular home share?

Hello Rainer, The problem is in file format. You must to convert in DOS format (ux2dos), or edit it in a Windows environment and then copy to unix.

I posted a question the other day about logon scripts and had no reply.... Do any of you use them? My question is, I have a logon script setup to run when the useres logon. When they logon, the script never runs. Its not a user specific script its, for all users. attached is my smb.conf file -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm running Samba2.2.1 on Mandrake 8.1 with Win95/98/Win2K clients.
It is not necessary for Win2K clients to log on to the Domain to access
the network which means that the logon scripts are not always run. When
the clients access machines via the network it prompts for a username
and password and you carry on working.
Our Anti-Virus is updated on the client side using logon scripts. I've
configured Samba so that the scripts run per user and machine but it
still doesn't force a Win2k client to run the script.
I have to implement it on the server to ensure all the clients run the
scripts.
Is there a way that I can force Win2K clients to run the scripts..??

Hi,
You can make sure that the logon scripts are run by making your Win2k boxes
log on to the domain (it works for me). If you really do not want your Win2k
boxes to log on to the domain you can also trigger the execution of the
logon script from the Win2k box side.
To do that, do the following:
- Start mmc (Microsoft Management Console)
- check to see if you have the Group Policy snap-in installed
- If Group Policy snap-in is NOT installed:
- - Click File menu -> select "add/remove snap-in"
- - Click "add" button
- - In the list of "available standalone snap-ins" select the
"Group Policy"
- - Click "Add"
- - Since you want to apply the (to be) options to the local machine leave
the "group policy object set to "Local Computer"
- - Click "Finish"
- - Click "Close" (unless you want to add more snap-ins)
- - Click "OK"
- Now open "Local Computer Policy"
- Open "User Configuration"
- Open "Windows Settings"
- select "Scripts (logon/logoff)"
- In the right pane double-click on "logon"
- Now specify the script to be run for EVERY (!!!) user after logon to THIS
(!) windows machine...
You can select every script (local and remote) -> so you can also select
your normal logon script on the \\your-pdc\netlogon share....
Don't forget to apply your new settings :-)
I think this solves your problem...;-)
Sincerely,
Martijn Tigchelaar.

We are currently experiencing problems with the Logon script using LDAP. 1. Where do you place the logon scripts? 2. Do they need to be case sensitive? 3. How exactly does the scriptPath ldap attribute work? We are setting the scriptPath to serve the users logon script based on the section they are in. -- Arthur H.

Hi All, I have a samba pdc that uses login scripts to apply several registry changes. I tried the config.pol and ntconfig.pol and didn't ever seem to find that they were reliably applied. Here is my question. I am able to apply serveral changes for HKEY_CURRENT_USER. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys seem to be discarded. Is there a different way to apply these? If I run the script from the dos prompt after being logged in, the changes are accepted so it appears the script is not the problem. Thanks in advance, David
