samba - Jun 2004 - group policy (2000/XP)

Hello all,

I am a new user of samba, that's look pretty cool.
I use samba 3.x. There are only windows 2000 client(and 1 XP) in french 
language. I don't have any license of some server version like windows NT4 
server, 2000 or 2003 server.

One think i would like to do is setting the time of the windows 2000 client.

I write in the "logon script" : 
net time /domain:mydomain /set /yes

The problem is that the client doesn't have the permission to to set the
time.
I found 2 solutions: 
	
	- the first is to set with the gpedit.msc application "Modify System
Hour"
key(That's the traduction key from french). I tried this, it work fine. The 
problem is that i have to do that manually on each computer that will log 
into the domain. 
	
	- the second, is to set a policy with the poledit executable from the NT 4 
server cd. But i don't have any windows server. I try using the poledit.exe 
from a win98 cd that i have. But the ntconfig.pol that it generates don't 
seem to be ok for the windows 2000 client. And i don't have the key that let
an authentified user setting the hour. Is it possible to get some .adm file 
that corrects that?


Well, if u have some clues about that, let me know

That care

I 've done some google search.

i found that 
	- to create a .pol compliant with windows 2000 professional client, i must 
have a poledit.exe from nt4 server, that i haven't.
	
	- to create a GPO for my profiles, i need to install adminpak.msi that 
requires a server version of windows 2000 server or a windows XP pro with 
service pack 1 that i haven't  :(

Is this information are correct ?

In the document of samba, i found that samba is Active Directory like, but why 
using samba if i need a server verius of windows to generate files.
