Hallo, is there a Client Software for Windows that offers a possibility to take a different Username to mount Samba shares at the Startup of Windows, like the Netware Client for WIndows. For Example: In our Manufacture all Clients have got one User, this is "Administrator". But to mount a share from our Linux Server it should be a different User. Therefor the Worker shall only write a other Username in the Login-Window at Startup although the Workstation shall take the local Profil from the Administrator. This is like the Netware Client for Windows if you know this. The Reason for this is that every Worker may work on any Workstation he want to and we do not want to create 20 Profils on every Windows Client. mfg Markus F.
If your windows boxes are similar (almost same software on them) use a roaming profile and they can logon to any boxes with their own username and password and their profile is stored on the Linux (samba) box. There is no need to put any profile on the windows box.
