Hi, I am looking for a list of theses special magic numbers that a samba server (or a windows box) registers with at a wins server. I already know of <00> as a ordinary name, <1b> as a domain. But what's the rest? Is there a list anywhere? Perhaps somewhere in the docs? I have searched them but haven't found anything yet. Thanks, Christopher --

Hi, Is there, on a intranet, any way to resolve the computername from its ip ? I have a setup where I know which users are on which ip, and I wan't to notify some events to some users with a "smbclient -M". But since I don't know the computername, I don't know any way to send the popups... thanks /torben t

Hi! ComputerName and ActiveComputerName are values from registry (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\). If I use `wine regedit` to set ActiveComputerName to any value after a short time it becomes equal to the value of ComputerName. Can I set ActiveComputerName different than ComputerName? P.S. I have wine-1.3.13 and UseDnsComputerName=N.

HiHo, I'm using wine since a couple of years for a private Diablo game server. Now, while installing a new server I've a problem where neither the Wine-Doc nor the Wine-Faq or Google could help me in any way. My problem with the new server is that I need to configure (or better restrict) my wine to use my alias-interface instead of the primary one. I already found the following stuff

Hi, We're setting up a PDC, and would like to have a login script to deliver the mapped drives to users in particular groups, and connect to printers. The printer drivers come from the [print$], share. Does anyone have any good resources for this? What's the easiest and simplest thing to get going --vbscript or batch files? Thanks, chris

Hi, I have a Samba 4 domain (separate DC and file server), with a bunch of Win/Mac/Lin domain joined machines, everything works on that side. I have a machine with a read-only SOC which can't take a \ or @ in the username, and in the samba file server logs, I see it is authenticating with it's computername in place of the domain: [2023/08/02 09:46:24.265533, 3]

Another nicety may be handling network drives. I''ve been using a ruby script which manipulate using the "net use" command to map network drives, disconnect network drives, query to see what drives are connected, etc..., but it''d be sweet if this type of functionality was included in win32 package. Maybe usage like: nd = Win32::NetworkDrive.new(

Ok, try this. Gif the pc a uid and check again. If it works then, its a share or security right. Gpupdate /force works because at that point you "user"/user has a uid and gid. The error occurs at start up because the COMPUTERNAME$ doent have access to that gpt.ini. Resetting sysvol in that case doent help because the right on the gpt.ini is set by the group you assigned to the

Hai Mike, I post it to the list so everybody can learn from it. > Why you use "hostname -i" ? man hostname wil tell.. But i'll try to explain it a bit. Read the Description, its also about how the hostnames are resolved within the systemfuntions. Like gethostname and gethostbyname > root at ad51:~# hostname -i > 127.0.0.1 > root at ad51:~# hostname -I >

Ok,   > I don't think so, I launch gpupdate using local admin account, so as I > understand it, only computer account is used (since local admin as no > existence on the domain) Why a local admin, please use a ?domain admin? ..   Test as follow. Open de security tab of the GPT.INI. Advanced settings, last tab, effective settings, At objecttype, deselect all, select

Hello everybody! Started to install wine today and I have to say - Great work. Nevertheless I ran into some problems while trying to install Bruker Topspin 3.1 (Scientific NMR Analysis Tool). But unfortunately I cannot install it. I have seen that there is a topic about an old Topspin version but it didn't help me. As I am starting to get familiar with wine the chance is great that the

Would this work? The problem is, I do not have roaming profiles in use(As it is not practical for us, as users tend to use the same computers). I want only users with IP from 192.168.1.x to load the databases. The loaddatabases.cmd file in question would contain rem Grab IP address and dump to a file ipconfig >"%userprofile%\ipconfig.txt" echo Checking for your location

Hi, we have several samba servers running as AD members (w2003 domain). Since the Upgrade to samba 3.0.8 the following message appears, when accessing a share on the memberserver from clienthost rmts2. [2004/11/10 12:09:02, 1] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_spnego_kerberos(250) Username NTROBOTIC\rmts2$ is invalid on this system [2004/11/10 12:09:02, 1] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_spnego_kerberos(250)

Hello all at the samba list. The other day there was a migration of server; the old one had Samba 2.2 (.6) working normally. Every user logged in the domain without problems, their SIDs and the domain SID were right, everything was ideal. But a server update was needed, and a new server was installed, also with Samba 2.2 (.12). The difference in version is not important this time as other

Hallo! I found a quite usefull hint about email-notification using samba by simply writing a Mailslot-message-command into the users .forward-file. That is quite nice, but there is a small problem: While the username is still the same, so does not the computername. People can log on every computer in a network, so the computername varies. I am looking for a method to run a script - on the server

This may seem a bit obvious, but do you have any saved credentials in Windows Credential Manager (that can be botching things up)?

Hi everybody, This may be a stupid question, but I really don't get it. When I restart my Linux box (occasionnaly / rarely), samba is not working from my Windows station. I can't connect to the samba drive. If I do /etc/init.d/smb restart, it doesn't work either. After many unsuccessfull problem determination, I found that there is two ways to correct this: 1- kill smbd -D process

Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)

Hi! Is it possible to use the command PUSHD under wine? I am running a run.bat file with the command wine cmd /c run.bat. The run.bat file has only the following command at the moment, PUSHD \\computername\Users\username\Directory<file:///\\computername\Users\username\Directory> When running wine cmd /c run.bat I get the following error message, Z:\root>PUSHD
