Hi, I would want Samba shares to be automatically mounted as logicals drives on win9x machines. For this i try to use KIXTART (http://www.kixtart.org), a logon script processor for Windows. The advantage is that a unique login script may be used for all the users. The shares need to be mounted accordingly to the unix groups the user belongs to. Fo example, if a user belongs to the IT and TOTO groups then the \\sambaserve...

Any body using kixtart with your samba server..? or anyone have any great scripting tools for logon scripts...

...the network drives manually and tell them to reconnect at login, but I am wondering why they don't execute them. I can log in, browse to my netlogon share (if I make it browseable), and execute the script manually, and it works. Well, it mostly works, but I Think that's an issue with Kixtart. Is there something extra that I need to do for Win9x? I haven't really found anything about it. Thanks, Misty

I have a bunch of W2K clients on my network and I want to be able to use GPOs, but REFUSE to go the M$ route ;-) Since GPOs are essentially registry entries, it might be somewhat easy to implement a simple program that could give admins that fine-grain control that is missing from NT4-style .pol files. What I would like to propose is a simple Win32 executable that could read from an

Hello, I have Samba 3 PDC and win2k sp4 client. I would like to install printer on a machine globally, for all users. To do this, I use: net use X: \\server\unattended /user:domain\unattended password rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /y /ga /in /n \\server\HP2000C First line is mounting share (Administrator is not logged to the domain), and the second line is to install printer.

Is it possible to use some kind of netlogon script to add a printer? net use \\server\printert ??

...Does anyone know if it would be worth-while to take the time and create an updated Template to add policies to manage newer features of Windows 2000/XP through the NTConfig.POL file, or if it is even possible ? Currently, if I have to adjust the machine's registries, I just push it out with a Kixtart Script, which means that if I want to adjust any "User" registry settings, the user has to be logged in when I run the script. I think the System Policy Editor would be a better way to go, as long as you keep in mind the "tatoo" effect on the registry. Does anyone have any inf...

It would be nice to have some additional attributes in the samba.schema. I have several servers that all my users need to have mapped locations. It would be nice if I could add drive letters and paths in ldap, but there doesn't seem to be anything defined in the schema. This way when I run the script to create the user all of the standard mappings are created as well.

running debian 3.1 "sarge" ppc and samba 3.08 I want to have my win98se computer users to have their shares automatically mapped. 1. I have read that I would use a netlogin directory and put scripts in there? 2. Does anyone know if samba has to be set up a special way ADS, wins, etc... to use the netlogin directory and it's scripts? "this server is the only smb server

...logged in at once the performance of login was crippled to a near standstill! As a test i swapped in the gentoo box and forced the upgrade to samba 3.0.21b (incase it was distro related) and to my surprise the same problem occurred, a class will come into the computer lab all try to login, kixtart will start do its login procedures and everything would login at a snail pace, to the point kixtart will lockup and generate errors!!! As the next test, i swaped the fresh installed freebsd system back in removed the latest samba from ports and manually installed samba 3.0.14 and the probl...

I am using Kixtart for login scripts. Drive letters are assigned based on group membership and machine type, and roaming profiles are implemented with folder redirection for non-laptop machines.

Hello all Just in case anyone has similar problems: We have a kixtart script which maps folders for users, I am not sure where it happened, but I made a mistake with users home directories. A couple of users were not copied from our old 2000 server during the move to samba and so were created manually. This worked fine with /homes/user, but since the upgrade to 3...

Hi, Is [netlogon] only applicable for Samba Domain Controllers? I like to create use root preexec script to create home folders for first time users. I'm currently running ADS mode, and using KiXtart logon script. Would this work? Regards, Norman Zhang

Hi all, All clients are Win 7. How can I transmit rules defined in gpedit for users (for example forbid execution of regedit) to the Default User roaming profile? Is it done with a ntconfig.pol ? If yes, how can I make it ? Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

All, As some of have no doubt found out, scripting is subtly different on 95/98 machines and NT machines. I have a logon script called by: logon script = xxxx\main.bat %G %U that works great for NT boxen. However it does absolutely nothing, no execution of main.bat at all for a W98 client. If I remove the parameters so it is: logon script = xxxx\main.bat it executes on the W98 box,

I've got a bunch of servers which for a long time now have provided domain logon scripts of the form %u.bat or %m.bat I've recently created a more capable logon script in Kixtart and have changed smb.conf to launch it for all users as just logon.bat So no more per-machine or per-user scripts, everybody runs the same one, and inside it it does per-machine and/or per-user things. At maybe 2/3rds of the sites this works fine. For the others I'm getting errors in logs wher...

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book
