Excuse the pedestrian question but is anyone using Samba to push Group Policies in a large 1500 user environment? We are contemplating using Samba on Apple?s OSX server to manage our Wintel desktops through the pushing of Group Policies at our school district. At present we are using Zenworks to accomplish this and we have a somewhat stable solution. We would like to duplicate this with Samba. Apple has not been supportive on this front and we are looking for some group / organization that has experience with this. I'm not looking for specific help, just someone that has done this and can verify that we moving in the correct direction. Thank you, Reggie Ryan ryan@ncook.k12.il.us

We only support NT4 system policies, because the clients think we are NT4. However, this can work quite well, as long as you understand the implications.
