Hello everyone, We are making extensive use of the homedrive mapping fields in AD. (automagically mapping a drive letter to a UNC path without a logon script) Since we sp2 applied to our clients, none of them have been able to map their home drives to our samba servers. According to Microsoft's q-article, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q308580&, "this behavior is by design". Is the issue described in the q-article ( cleartext passwords sent to downlevel servers ) truly the issue? Is there any way to re-enable this functionality with more modern (2.2.x) versions of samba? Thanks, Ben Vaughan Ben Vaughan Systems Engineer, Engineering Computing Support Services 210 Marston 515 294-1629, Iowa State University benvon@iastate.edu pageben@iastate.edu
If cleartext passwords is truly the issue, shouldn't you be able to enable encrypted password in the samba configuration and have the Windows clients send encrypted passwords? --Nick Ben Vaughan wrote:> Hello everyone, > > We are making extensive use of the homedrive mapping fields in AD. > (automagically mapping a drive letter to a UNC path without a logon script) > Since we sp2 applied to our clients, none of them have been able to map > their home drives to our samba servers. > > According to Microsoft's q-article, > http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q308580&, "this > behavior is by design". > > Is the issue described in the q-article ( cleartext passwords sent to > downlevel servers ) truly the issue?

Yes, that does make sense and that is the way it is configured. Users are able to map drives manually without any problems. The samba servers are setup in domain mode, authenticating to an Active Directory. Encrypted passwords are enabled and winbind is working properly.
