[Samba] Samba3 registy based configuration and group policies!?
Dear all, after a lot of thinking about the registry way of configuring samba I came about that group policies are especially stored things in the registry. So my question is it possible to store this settings (group policies) at status quo in samba3 registry!?

They don't interact with the Samba registry.> So my question is it possible to store this settings (group policies) at > status quo in samba3 registry!?Not in Samba 3 (don't know about 4). Samba 3 implements an NT4 domain; the windows workstations and member servers look for a file with a specific name in the netlogon share on the domain controller. You can't change that basic behaviour (I think you can change the name of the file that the client looks for, via a registry setting) and you can't serve files directly out of the Samba registry. -- Bruce It is impolite to tell a man who is carrying you on his shoulders that his head smells.
