samba - Jan 2008 - The use of goup policies in XP and Vista

Hi all,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to apply Group Policies from a 
Samba 3.0.26 PDC to my Windows XP and Vista clients. I read chapter 26 of 
the Samba manual (dated April 3 2003) and I was wondering if the 
NTConfig.POL file in the NETLOGON share is the way to go here?

Regards,
Joost.

Its  the only way to go - Samba doesn't support Group Policies...

You can use the NT 4.0 System Policy Editor with the Windows 200x policies
to implement GPO's.  I know this can be done with XP and Windows 2000.  Not
sure about Vista.

The main difference is that System Policy Editor writes the policies to the
relevant sections of the registry on the workstation.  Windows 200x server's
GPO's do not.

Have a look at these articles
