I have recently set up an small SAMBA network(just my server and a W2K SP4 Workstation). My Server is acting as a PDC. Everything seems to work flawlessly, users, roaming profiles, netlogon script, etc... But I cannot make this machine to read my NTConfig.pol file. I have it at my NETLOGON share [/srv/netlogon] with rwxr-xr-x permissions. I have tried with different filenames (NTConfig.POL, ntconfig.pol, etc...) but none seems to work. I have tried to setup ntconfig.pol with poledit to just one user (root) and one machine("ibm") or to de...

I am running Samba 2.2.7a on SuSE 8.0 and all Windows/XP clients in a PDC configuration. All runs great except for one problem. I cannot get NTconfig.pol to be used. I have placed it in the netlogon share and read/execute permissions are wide open. I turn on samba loglevel=3 and I never see samba even try to look for NTconfig.pol, or any *.pol file. This occurs for all of my clients. Any ideas? Thanks much, Pat

Hi Everybody, Does anybody that have it working can give me a sample of what looks like a NTConfig.POL file that changes users passwords every 45 days. I?m using samba 3.0.10 with ldap backend. Any help will be appreciated. Thank?s Gustavo

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k workstation, but it has no effect. This...

Hi Jerry ,hi Sambatsitas, yesterday i installed a brand new ldap smb pdc with latest smb sources ( all suse 9.2 ), and latest ldap scripts from idealx.( orginal source rpm ) All work fine ( as far i testet it ). (Usrmgr was just wow..!) So at last i did a NTConfig.POL with poledit.exe for win xp serv Pack2 on the netlogon share. I used adm modified adm files and a other poledit cause system.adm ( winxp s.2 ) from orginal ms src with orginal ms poledit didnt loaded on my xp laptop,or on another XP workstation ( would be another question why.. ) But the ex...

I have an NTConfig.POL I created from poledit with the Windows 2000 Administrator toolkit. It contains my WSUS configuration, and NTConfig.POL is placed in my [netlogon] share and is being loaded fine by the clients. Is this still the propery way to create NTConfig.POL files, or is there a newer utility I shoul...

...r using RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (update 5) and Samba 3.0.25a. Everithing is working fine. I'm not using LDAP and all my client machines are installed with Windows XP Professional. I used the Mike Petersen website ( http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html) to help me creating the NTConfig.pol file and created custom profiles folder for each user. My PDC has three distincts groups. I've mapped them using the same name for both NTGroup and UnixGroup (net groupmap add ntgroup=XXX unixgroup=XXX). I'm not using any Windows default groups ("Power Users", "Users&q...

Trying to setup samba as a PDC with LDAP on gentoo I have managed the setup and can access and register computers/ join the domain Having trouble with profile access (1) But when I try to connect an XP client in the Log file I get Error Opening File: for ntconfig.pol and login.bat both exist with 777 permissions in /var/lib/samba/netlogon and /var/lib/samba/netlogon/default user the log shows that the file is there, just it won't open / read it? (2) Also in smb.conf I have [public] and should it be [homes] or [home] ? I can see these from the XP clien...

hi samba community and team ! I' m playing with policies under win2k/samba3/ntconfig.pol/poledit It worked at first, but now seems my win2k test machine doesn't want to load the ntconfig.pol located into \\mysmbpdc\netlogon I've seen some threads about the same prob. but none with a solution. I know there is a project with an "editreg" tool planned. But for now I...

...same boat. I have just setup the first Vista box on our samba domain and I am having some trouble with policies (they don't get applied). I have had a look around and there is alot of talk about the adm->admx change, etc but I haven't seen anyone say that anything needs to change in NTConfig.POL. Infact, there has been relatively little mention of NTConfig at all. Does Vista still support NT4 style policies? If not, what have others done to work around this? I guess I could push out .reg files through login scripts but I believe that might trigger UAC, any other suggestions? -- *...

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.

Hello, I installed two debian sarge servers with the following services: OPENLDAP, SAMBA 3.0, HEARTBEAT and DRBD. I used debian packages. The RAID over IP is used for the /data and /home partitions. I created a NTConfig.POL for my domain workstations and put it in /home/samba/netlogon. But when a user log on a machine, the policy is not applied. For details: # l /home/samba/ total 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-01-25 14:31 netlogon drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 98 2006-01-25 13:15 profiles # l /home/samba/net...

At one site I support, I have just recently put a policy file on their server to try and make some stuff easier to manage. Only problem is Windows is not even trying to load it. I watched the traffic in Wireshark, and there's no request for the ntconfig.pol file at all. And of course nothing from it is being applied. I had read that this can happen if someone has set the policy refresh settings to never refresh (or manually or whatever it is), but I have checked this and tried with a newly installed Windows machine, and it still doesn't work....

Is there a way to create an NTConfig.POL file without having access to an NT4, w2k or w2k3 server? Is there a way to do it in linux? Or a winxp/9x workstation?

Why would NTConfig.POL be ignored? I've got an Ubuntu server running a Samba (3.3.2) PDC. I've created NTConfig.POL as per www.pcc-services.com (on a Windows XP Pro machine, for a Windows XP Pro machine), and stuck it in the netlogon share, but it doesn't go. The XP machine can get at the netlogon share...

...nal Server edition I did the following: - Logged on as local administrator. - Ran poledit.exe. - Added machine Atlas. - Double-clicked Atlas icon. Under "Windows NT User Profiles"->"Choose profile default operation", selected "Use local profile". - Saved as NTConfig.pol and copied to the root directory of the netlogon share. When a user does a domain logon on Atlas, the Samba log log.atlas does not show NTConfig.pol being accessed. When the user logs off, updates to the user's profiles are saved. Agrigento is a system running Windows 2000 Workstatio...

Hi there, I'm using an inter-domain trust relationship (DOM-B trusted, DOM-A trusting, COMP-A=DOM-A computer member). It works as expected (ish), DOM-B users can logon onto DOM-A computers. I'd like to know if it is possible to force login scripts and ntconfig.pol to be read from the DOM-A pdc server, rather than from the DOM-B one ? My setup includes a samba trusted domain and several trusting domains running (samba, w2ksrv, 2003srv). I don't think it really is a samba specific question. (i haven't tried with a windows-managed trusted domain)...

hi, Has anyone actuall edited the ntconfig.pol file? I downloaded the tools user mgr and the other one as mentiond in the docs, but every time I modify a user, or anything the tools give me an error? Perhaps I have the permisions set improperly on [netlogon] or the file itself? What user do I need to be? Thanks, j. -- ...................
