[Samba] Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines using samba 3.2.3 ?
Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines using samba 3.2.3 ? In samba documentation in : http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html There is references to apply policies in NT/2000 Server and winxp clients, but it's not clear to me that will run fine or not using samba 3.2.3+winxp machines. If exist a way, How ? I was create a local policies using gpedit.msc and I would like to apply to entire network.

NT4 does not have support for active directory style group policies, but it does support older poledit policies. Grab a copy of Poledit from MS, get some templates (either from admin packs from MS or from one of several websites around the place) and make an NTConfig.POL file, save it to your netlogon share and you are done. *Michael Heydon - IT Administrator * michaelh@jaswin.com.au <mailto:michaelh@jaswin.com.au>

Hummm, it's really good. My interesting in system policies for entire domains resides in the fect that I need to block usb mass-storages in this winxp stations. I able to lock USB using local GPO and .adm files (get from microsoft technet), but some weeks after, I dont know how, my users can disable that without admin privileges. So, I looking for a solution that really block USB mass-storage without use BIOS. I think that if I apply my GPO for domain and not by local station will be fine. I hope so. 2008/12/9 Nick Sharp <nick.sharp@valex.com.au>:> http://www.pcc-services.com/articles/implement_sys_policies.html is pretty > good (linked from the samba policies page) I'm testing it right now! > > -- > Regards > Nick Sharp > > e nick.sharp@valex.com.au > p 08 8373 5522 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: samba-bounces+nick.sharp=valex.com.au@lists.samba.org > [mailto:samba-bounces+nick.sharp=valex.com.au@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of > Michael Heydon > Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 11:24 AM > To: hamacker > Cc: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: Re: [Samba] Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines > using samba 3.2.3 ? > > hamacker wrote: >> Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines using samba 3.2.3 ? >> >> I was create a local policies using gpedit.msc and I would like to >> apply to entire network. >> > All versions of samba prior to 4 (which is still in testing) implement > an NT4 style domain.
