samba - Aug 2009 - netlogon.bat issues

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have samba configured so that users have their own netlogon.bat file
(e.g. %U.bat) and each user has a .bat with their username in the
netlogon share.

So far I have been unable to get any of the shares that I have defined
in the batch file to be mounted when a user logs in.  Here is a snapshot
of both the netlogon section of my smb.conf file and the %U.bat file I
am using:

smb.conf:

[global]
.......
preexec = /usr/local/bin/netlogon %U
logon script = %U.bat
logon home = \\%L\%U\.profiles
logon path = \\%L\profiles$\%U
logon drive = Z:

........

[netlogon]
path = /mnt/samba/netlogon
admin users = root, Administrator, Admin
valid users = %U
read only = no
browsable = no
create mask = 0770
force create mode = 0060
create directory mask = 0770
force directory mode = 0070
security mask = 0777
directory security mask = 0777

%U.bat:
@echo off
REM # In this example it is assumed the smb.conf handles home drive mapping
REM # All users get access to Common drive
net use Y: \\192.168.155.20\common


REM # Lastly lets set the davidc's time to 192.168.155.20's time
net time \\192.168.155.20 /set /yes

Updated info

The user can run the batch file manually from the netlogon share, so the
issue seems to be with it running automatically, is there any logs that
would capture an attempt to execute this file?

Alex,

Thanks for the info, I will investigate this, I am currently using
version 3.2.11.  I am using ldap as my backend, is the passdb expand
explicit parameter compatible with such a configuration?

Hi Guys,

I have similar problem. I am following the instructions in
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...#magicnetlogon to add domain
users to the winxp clients Power Users group.

Code: autopoweruser.sh

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/net rpc group addmem "Power Users" "DOMAIN_NAME\$1"
\
                  -UAdministrator%secret -S $2

exit 0

[netlogon]
comment = Netlogon Share
path = /export/samba/logon
root preexec = /etc/samba/scripts/autopoweruser.sh %U %m
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes

But, this is not working as the user is still not added to the Power
Users group after login..

Can anybody help
