Hello List, This is very much so Samba related but I'm sure there are several people here this would relate to. wpkg is a nice add on to Samba that allows you to mass install Windows software to Windows clients machines as they log onto a Samba server. Today's offerings. I have made a simple binary rpm that installs all of the needed files for both server and client. Thought this may be of some good to some...

I've just upgraded my DM from samba 4.5 to 4.8, using luois repos (also, debian jessie -> stretch). I'm experimenting some troubles on some shares, seems that both guest access and 'machine account' access does not work. The share is rather simple: [wpkg] browseable = No comment = WPKG Automated Software Deploying System force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 02775 guest ok = Yes path = /srv/samba/wpkg wide links = Yes I've got two troubles. a) seems there's no more a guest access on the share. EG, if i use the loca admi...

.... Guest access enabled on a domain joint PC ? If you really really want that, then enable user guest in the AD also. But better is avoiding Guest access completely.

Just wondering if anybody out there actually downloaded and got my Wpkg utility working. I'd like to hear what people think about it. Not having a progect page for it and all doesn't make that easy.

Hi, Just wondering: What are you guys using to deploy software on your windows (7) workstations within the samba4 AD? These are options I know of: * wpkg (but it seems it's development is not too active) * wpkg-gp using the group policies * www.opsi.org (Client Management System for Windows clients) * standard windows software deployment, but I think that's msi-only This page also has al lot interesting reading: http://www.klaus-hartnegg.de...

How do you manage printers on Windows workstations? What I mean, suppose you have many classrooms, different printers (which sometimes change) in these classroms - how do you manage which workstation (or a group of them) will use which printer? So far I've been using WPKG for that - as I described here: http://wpkg.org/wiki/index.php/Printer_configuration But somehow I feel it isn't the easiest and most intuitive way - it is basically running: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /y /ga /in /n \\server\kyocera as a domain administrator when machine is boot...

I.e., if the SID for the domain is: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666 does this mean that the domain administrator's SID would be: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666-1000 ? How can I get the SID number for any given user? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org WPKG - software deployment and upgrades with Samba

A month ago I mentioned on this list work on a automated package deployment tool for Windows systems, which is server agnostic. At the time, I didn't have the time to put it up in a place for public consumption. I do now. The utility is named wpkg (punny isn't it?) It's nothing more than a simple .js (jscript) file which needs to be run on Windows, from a directory containing three XML files describing packages, hosts, and profiles to be installed on a system. Each package consists of nothing more than a set of command lines to run...

...d DC functionality off my file server and onto a separate machine, due to the well-known challenges using the same machine as both a file server and a DC. This went mostly fine, with one exception - I have one piece of functionality that worked before, but I still don't have working now. I use wpkg for software distribution, having all relevant computer accounts be a member of a group (lets' call it sw-dist) and setting the ownership of my /data/wpkg directory on the server appropriately so that all members of that group (i.e. all relevant computer accounts) can access the files - see bel...

I have made some changes to try and get the PDC working and now I am down to one thing where I believe the problem lies.

I am running the listed software: Fedora Core 4 OpenLDAP 2.2.23 Samba 3.0.14a This is what currently happens when I

I use wine from time to time, but I don't know how to deal with "ugly font problem".

Hello, I got this problem: I want to mount a directory without providing a login/password [indicaf$]. I thought that "guest ok = yes" would be sufficient. But it not works.

Rowland, it is not (only) a matter of authentication, it is a matter of 'act' with machine account.
