samba - Aug 2011 - [META] suggestions for managing users desktops

Hi,

Sorry if this is slightly OT. I have just moved from a WindowNT domain
to a Samba3x PDC. What I'd really like now is some tools to help me
manage users. Some of the things on my wish list are to be able to
edit a remote registry (the user's profiles are local) and Remote
desktop access so I do not have to run over their desks every time
there is a message they don't understand.

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to make user management a
little simpler in my environment?

Thanks,
Dermot.

Hi Dermot, 

First be smart, when u use a domain also use roaming profiles. 
then u can use a loginscript and policies for managing registry settings. 
I'm using kixscript for my loginscript.
if you want i can email you my setup and tools. 
My loginscript also registers the computer name and loginname of a user in
script,
so you always know who is sitting at what computer.

For user/group management i'm using the NT4 user manager. 

If you want to know more, just send my a email. 


Louis
