samba - Feb 2009 - Problems with Samba4 implimentation

Hi,

I've managed to get samba4 up and running with some of the group 
functionalities  tested and working.
What I did get stuck on and asking for help is that I wanted to set up a 
users "Roaming" profile like in ADS.
and also if it is possible to control software updates like AD.
Just wanted to know if this was possible in samba4 and if yes can you 
please point me to the page where I can read about this or please help 
me with it.

Hi Derwyn!

    Even though I don't have any experience with Samba4 I don't think 
deploying software upgrades is even planed to be a part of the samba 
core. That's why I wanted to point you to www.wpkg.org where you can 
find a great piece of software that can help you with this matter.

The best approach is simply to try it out in the same was that you would
in AD, and see what works.  If it doesn't work, please file a bug, and
we can look into what we are missing.  Also keep an eye out for the next
alpha release, where we should have the full AD schema (hopefully).

Questions about Samba4 are best sent to samba-technical for the moment,
while Samba4 is still alpha.
