similar to: few idea about dealing with "Large Roaming Profiles"

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

Has anyone looked into creating custom templates for Microsoft's System Policy editor ? I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated. 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

I would like to configure a linux ntp server on my lan as the ntp server for my windows xp clients I'm not able to come to an understandable solution (due probably to my lack in windows knowledge) I found this in samba archives: CLASS MACHINE CATEGORY !!Time POLICY !!NTPServer KEYNAME SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters PART !!NTP_SERVER EDITTEXT VALUENAME

Hi! How do you guys solve windows security updates? Is there a way to force windows computers to be updated. Even more flexible is if one can update windows through login script.

Hi, Plz, i have installed a Samba NT PDC Domain with XP Prof. and strangelly the machines are syncronizing with the Samba Server when the user Logoff of the domain. I've used the smb.conf below in others domains and XP clients have never synchronized before. I understand that i'm not using roaming profile, because the logon path is empty. The only difference in this domain is that

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 would like

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. exactly the same rules apply to the use of rpcclient registry commands as to regedit.exe and regedt32.exe, except more so. obtain from: http://samba.anu.edu.au/cvs.html syntax: rpcclient -S nt_hostname -U username[%passwd] -W domain -l logfile rpcclient now has some _preliminary_ commands which work with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and will in the near future work with HKEY_USERS

Hey there, Just a question for you Samba 2.2.x gurus out there :) We have a contingent (a steadily increasing contingent) of Win2K and WinXP workstations. Does anyone here know how to stop the profiles from replicating? If we create a file in the profile dir, say \\PDC\UserHome\profile.doc. It will replicate that to the profile directory, while one file or two files are not a problem, we use

My user observable errors seem to now be gone but I am seeing some behavior that may need to be looked at. There are error messages in Ethereal and in the logs like "_spoolss_getprinterdataex: Invalid keyname [DsDriver]". First I'll give the brief history and then more details below. I started a new install on FreeBSD 5.1 using samba 2.2.8. I compiled with CUPS (1.1.19). Printer is

Hello samba people, is there anybody who got users logins with modified Shell Folders or User Shell Folders registry keys working with W2k-Clients ?

I'm triing to put some samba3.6 server like print server, the load of ntprinters and ntdrivers is ok, but when I try to do a backup of the registry I find it: #net rpc registry export 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\Canon iR2270/iR2870 PCL6' printers.reg Violaci?n de segmento (Segmentation Fault) Export fail but enumerate

You can set the type of Profile by using the control Panal system application to set the type to local. Anyway this is probably not the main intention in handling profiles: Aim: 1. Exclude some files like tmp or temporary internet file 2. Include desktop or personal Therefore you can use (to exclude) the poledit: double click on the user in poledit and as far as I remember under

Hi samba gurus, I have a successful install of samba/LDAP (on FC5) and am looking at applying security templates for different groups. I had this successfully working on my old RH9 box running samba (but not using LDAP). Using poledit, I created groups (sales, it, etc) that were the same as my linux groups, and created a Ntconfig.POL file. Referring to this article for use on poledit.exe and

I've googled my brains out trying to find the "latest" NT 4.0 System Policy Editor files: POLEDIT.CNT POLEDIT.EXE POLEDIT.HLP COMMON.ADM (NT & W9x) WINNT.ADM (NT) WINDOWS.ADM (W9x) I only have dialup access, and it will take me a zillion days to download SP6 for NT so I can extract the above files. Can any one point me to where I can D/L those six (or 0110) files? Thanks

Hey all, I am trying to get a modified hostname (converting "blah-1234567" to "1234567") to use in my manifests and templates. I have it working for templates by using Ruby (*<%= hostname.split(''-'').pop.downcase %>*) but I haven''t been able to use it in manifests because they don''t process ERB. The way I see it I could do one of two

Hello, We recently install a Samba PDC for linux and W2k clients. I don't find how to apply security policies editing with Poledit to users-groups defined by ldap organisation units. Policies are only working with default user and individual user. I see with poledit on the domain two groups named "domain users" or "admin users" but I don't understand what they are. I

SMBv1 (the anonymous thing behind network neighborhood) because of the massive security problems it caused was decprecated. Microsoft came up with network neighborhood and they've shut it down due to their bad implementation. Samba, likewise, doesn't support SMBv1 by default.

Hi all! I have configured a Samba PDC (3.0.7) on a Fedora Core 2 machine with LDAP authentication (conform http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html). I have about 180 Windows XP Pro clients using this PDC to log onto the domain, which works great! However I seem to have trouble synchronizing the time on the clients to the time on the server. The users (in group Domain Users) do not have
