Hello, Is it possible to use Group Policies in Samba (or Samba + OpenLDAP etc.)? I want to replace Active Directory with Samba (and possibly some other tools like OpenLDAP), and Group Policy is a feature I need to have.

NT4 system policies are the best you can hope for with Samba 3.0. Andrew Bartlett -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Will LGPO allow me to make software installation (I know GPO allows it, i.e. when a certain PC or a certain user logs in, I can easily install/upgrade desired software on that machine / for that user - without user knowing anything - I think this is called IntelliMirror). Will it be possible with Samba? Tomek
