Did you join the domain *before* or *after* you installed sp2? Could you send me the netlogon

Hi list. I've just configured a PDC server 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

hi, My NTconfig.pol file into \\netlogon share seems to be good... in the logs the file is readed with no problem at my user logon. The strange think I have is that the policy I've made is applied if my user loggon onto a windows 2003 server we have for testing purpose ! (If I loggon first onto my win2k machine, the policy is not applied ...) logging after onto my win2k computer takes

Just a quick congrats to John for repling to this email constructivly. Too often do people fire out the ole RTFM speel. More people within the OpenSource community could do with taking a leaf out of his book. On topic for a second, do not discount being able to lower the spec of the below machine due to careful implementation and installation. You may wish to take a look at the kernel

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,

hello, I skipped Vista and was using WinXP on all clients until now. I deployed my policies using a file ntconfig.pol in the [netlogon]-share, but this does not work with win7 any more. How do you deploy your policies with Vista or Win7 ? I use recent samba 3.4.6 and hope there is some way. Every experience welcome. I think thousands of readers here might have similar problems somehow :) Even

We want to build a Debian's unstable samba 3.0.0beta2-1 as PDC with plenty of Windows 2K clients. Joining the domain, Domain Logons, Roaming Profiles, Domain Groups, are Ok. As we thought that Samba 3 cannot handle Win2K's GPOs (isn't it?), we tried NT4 style Group Policies to restrict a bit users posibilities (as we have students as users). Our opinion is that Mandatory Profiles

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 should be using? I'm looking at Vista and it uses .admx templates, which I guess

I'm installing a Samba 3.0 PDC with LDAP backend in a classroom in a Spanish school. Client workstations are Windows2000 and, in the future, there will be Linux clients. I'm following the Samba Project Documentation book (also known as Samba Howto Collection). The document is wonderfull, but there is a part that I don't fully understand, maybe because, as you can read, I'm not a

Hi once again Now I have almost everything working, that is, Samba 3.0.2 with Ldap database (messages ok when reading), and I want it to be a PDC, everything seems to work fine when registering machines or users, but when logging, I mean, entering W2k-Sp4, my computers (two of them) reset themselves: they begin to load the user defined stuff and then when one expects the the navigator bar to

We make use of NT4 policies on our Samba domain. NTconfig.POL needs to be in \\domaincontroller\netlogon. I don't believe that you can use Active Directory GPOs (group policy objects) with a Samba domain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Hoover, Network Administrator KSU - Salina, College of Technology and Aviation (785) 826-2660

Ok, I'm going kinda nuts... I have a samba 3 + openldap domain, which works great for authentication, etc. I am trying to use the NTConfig.POL to enforce policies on a mix of 98/win2k and XP boxes. This is a K12 environment, so I need very restrictive policies for students, less so for teachers and staff. What seems to be happening, at least with the XP clients is that it gets the

Hi! Please don't whack me too hard for even attempting this, but I need a definitve answer for a school network: can a share from a Samba 2.0.6 be accessed from a WinXP Prof with SP2 at all? If so, I'd appreciate a hint. Thanks a bunch in advance, Torsten

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

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.

I am running Samba 2.2.3a and have my users logging into the 'samba domain'. My WinNT and WinXP users are working fine with roaming profiles and policies. My problem is my Win98 users. The logon script doesn't seem to be working, i.e. when I log onto a Win98 machine (logging into the domain), the logon script doesn't run. I have opened up the permissions to the logon script

Hi all, Can anyone point me in the right direction to apply Group Policies from a Samba 3.0.26 PDC to my Windows XP and Vista clients. I read chapter 26 of the Samba manual (dated April 3 2003) and I was wondering if the NTConfig.POL file in the NETLOGON share is the way to go here? Regards, Joost.

Hi, A few weeks ago I announced a rewritten PROFILES.txt on the mailing list. It is available on http://users.iafrica.com/p/pc/pcs/profiles.txt The idea of it is to explain exactly how NT and 95 handles roaming profiles and then specify how to set up samba to enable both to handle roaming profiles. Most of the document it finished, and I would like to contribute it, but I have a few things to

Hi, We are considering samba 3.0.1 as a replacement for our old-hag Windows NT4.0 Server PDC. However, we do want some policy control, and from the samba 3.0.0 documentation (23.3), it says the only current functional policy is the password expirey. Is this still true in samba 3.0.1? Can an NT4.0 server be a backup domain controller to samba 3.0.1 PDC? That way we can keep the NT4 machine
