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

We are using a system running Red Hat Linux 7.0 with Samba 2.2.7a as our PDC. For the most part, we want to use roaming profiles, so that users' settings are backed up via the PDC, and are available if they need to change or reinstall their Windows desktop machine. However, there are a few Windows systems (running NT 4.0 or Windows 2000) for which we would like to be able to disable roaming

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 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,

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

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

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

Hi! I have a problem using ntconfig.pol-policies for domain groups other than "Domain Users" and "Domain Admins". I am using Samba 2.2.7 with LDAP support as a PDC. Policies work as expected for "Domain Users" and "Domain Admins" but setting policies for any other group doesn't work. The "Browse"-list for AddGroups in poledit only shows

Hello all, I am a new user of samba, that's look pretty cool. I use samba 3.x. There are only windows 2000 client(and 1 XP) in french language. I don't have any license of some server version like windows NT4 server, 2000 or 2003 server. One think i would like to do is setting the time of the windows 2000 client. I write in the "logon script" : net time /domain:mydomain

Hi, I have read that Windows 7 is using a new admx format and that it is not compatible with the old-school poledit. If I would like to stick with a Samba PDC, is there any elegant way to get Windows 7 client to obey the folder redirection(and possibly other rules) set using poledit & NTConfig.pol? I have been searching the mailing list, but there doesn't seems to be much detailed

Hello everybody!! I have a big network here with many machines with different operating systems (Linux, Windows 9x/2000/XP and FreeBSD). Currently all of them are authenticated by a Debian GNU/Linux server running SAMBA with LDAP. It works perfectly but I have some problems to block some features from Windows users. I'm looking for some tool to control the user rights around his own station

Using poledit and NTCONFIG.POL with Samba3 and XP workstations I was wondering if somebody could tell me how I can get line breaks to appear in the Logon Banner Text. I have tried /n and ~ so far but no luck Thanks, Amir

Hello, I have (had) poledit/NTConfig.pol working on rhel4 for one of the labs, it has winexit.scr and a custom adm that has worked fine. I have used the net rpc groupmap to map users and root. It doesn't appear the configuration is being picked up on some machines for the next lab. Even the base one . There is only Default User and Computer. Is there nt group related issues I should be

Hi I'm trying to aply policy to my domain users, but isn't working. I'm created a NTConfig.pol with poledit.exe (from WinNT service pack 4 (adminpak.msi)) and save on netlogon share. When client logon, nothing hapen. How can i check if policy is downloaded from server? What this could be? :( Samba: 3.0.20b-Debian Linux: Debian Client: Windows XP and SP2 ps: i couldn't find

Well, I put it here. All the experience gained in about-half-an-year-management of Samba-PDC + numerous NT4 workstations is included. Also, I'd be glad to hear from you what did I miss! 1) when NT4-workstations are organised into "domain", there's some action assosiated to this: "to log into domain". samba ain such case acts as PDC (primary domain controller),

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?

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, 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

Hi guys, I'm just about to shoot on my foot so I wanted to check if there is something else to blow my full leg actually ;-)) I have setup a working Samba 3 PDC controller with user authentication and roaming profiles. I want to lock down [*] the desktop on client machines (win xp) as I did with poledit (NTConfig.POL) on Win9x/WinNT4 machines. [*] Lock downs suck as : disabling msn

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 and is part of the domain. It can access other shares as well. I get nothing in
