We migrated our entire domain over to a samba3 domain, now I would like to apply a few policies to the network. I've been reading a few migration papers, most mention about a .POL file which is created upon exporting policy keys on a wintel machine. Using gpedit I don't see an export option. What tool should I use for this? greg

Am going thru the learning curve on using samba as a primary controller. Samba is up and running just fine. However, I'm a bit confused on the ntlogin.pol thing. I'm gathering, if all the workstations are winxp, I need to do this??

I much regret in many ways having to ask this question below. But our business needs now demand more than we think we can deliver using open source software exclusively. What is the best way to 'suck up' all of the domain group and user data from a current samba 3.0.21a PDC into a microsoft windows 2003 server? We have two basic needs that demand we now introduce active directory servers

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ? Other solutions ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski perl -e '$_=q#: 13_2: 12/o{>: 8_4) (_4: 6/2^-2; 3;-2^\2: 5/7\_/\7: 12m m::#;

Hi, I think I have two questions - one which is samba and one which is windows policy files. I'll try to limit this question to the samba side but will give the full picture for completeness. I'm trying to implement a simple policy to redirect a few simple folders (for starters). I have a policy file called NTConfig.POL that is available on my share \\wilson\netlogon (wilson is the

We're using Samba 3.0.21a-1 on a CentOS 4.2 server (kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp); everything works more or less fine, it's functioning as the PDC with an OpenLDAP back end (setup essentially straight from the Idealx.org playbook), etc. We're trying to mount Windows shares to back them up, and getting "permission denied" errors when trying to read certain files from those
