Has anyone ever written a script to remove individual shares from the smb.conf file? I am trying to put together a script that will add & remove multiple shares at once by giving a <sharelist as input to the script. Adding shares is easy because I can just append the shares to the smb.conf file, but removing individual share entries within the smb.conf file without messing up the

Hello: I've been working for a few days on getting a FreeBSD 5.3 server up and running as a samba data backup server. My goal is to schedule periodic backups of our file server. After reading recommendations (e.g. by Mr. Terpstra) I've focused my attempts aroung robocopy, xxcopy, net rpc share migrate shares. However, I'm running into stumbling blocks that seem to involve a problem

Does anyone know if it is possible to publish Samba printers in the Windows Active Directory to make it both viewable and available as a resource to the rest of the windows clients?

Hello, I'm using samba 2.2.4 as a fileserver in a Win2K domain with AD functionality. Our users are using offline-folders for syncing with samba, when offline or not at office. But recently many of them report failures during the syncing process with a growing number of files. After studying the logfiles, I was able to find out, that failing chmod attempts from the clients are the reason. As

All, I'd like to use rsync as a way to back up Windows devices on a network, pulling data off of the Windows boxes and putting it onto a Samba share. Is this even possible? I suspect I either need some sort of rsync implementation on Windows (ha!) or I need to have Samba know to "reach into" the boxes and get the info for rsync-ing. Doable? A fool's errand? The setup:

Hello, we are in the process of implementing a samba server running 3.0.14 and an external LDAP server running Microsoft ADAM. We have it also running with Open LDAP for UNIX under Redhat. It works fine for every user account that accesses the samba instance. The user mapping is done and all works fine. Now we have the major problem of the migration and I would need some guidance here

I am having problems using rsync on cygwin to properly copy the ownership of files from windows to windows. I am running: rsync -avPA //src_addr/some/path /local/dst/path/ Based on: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg18920.html and: http://www.nabble.com/Re:-I-need-rsync-+-acl-support-for-windows--t2462647.html ENV: CYGWIN=ntsec tty I am running this on Windows Server 2003 R2

I use rsync for backing up windows. After a restore of Desktop.ini I recognize that the hidden attribut and the system attribut will not been restored. I know, this are no unix attributes. But is there a way to backup and restore the windows attributes too? Thanks Matthias -- Don't Panic

Hi, I got tired of firing up swfplay, click click click drag, check log output then restart again. How hard is it to create a mechanism to emulate a user to control a flash? What I need is a script like this: sleep 1 # wait for introduction click 100 100 # click at (100,100) sleep 1 click Button12 sleep 1 drag 100 100 200 200 # click (100,100), drag to (200,200), release mouse sleep 1 quit then

I've recently attempted to migrate some windows server files over to samba 4 hosted on a FreeNAS server. Using robocopy with the /copyall switch, I expected everything, including ACL's and ownership information to transfer over. For the most part they have. The one problem I've ran into however, is that I'm getting errors any time I or robocopy attempt to change the ownership to

Hi Tom Did you solve your problem woth robocopy? I have "Access Denied" error when trying to copy with /SEC option (in order to retain the NTFS permissions). It says it is not NTFS filesystem. Of course, I am using the ext3 filesystem with acl support so it should work? thanks very much for any suggestion dejan gambin

Hi there, It might that this question was already answered but I can't really find any proper documentation for this. I am in a process of migrating about 70T of files from our Win2016 storage server to a Samba (2:4.17.9+dfsg-0+deb12u3) server. Whilst doing this I want to preserve all the ACL's which were set on Windows shares. Is there any related documentation around this topic how to

HiWe have two Windows servers (one active, one standby) that we keep in sync by using ROBOCOPY to do a differential copy every night. The options make sure that only new or altered files are transferred, and deleted ?master? files also is deleted on the standby server. Now I want to relocate a couple of shares from the active server to a Samba 4.20 server. The shares are up and working as they

Hello, I'm attempting to set up a daily Robocopy task on a Windows Server 2016 to duplicate a large directory tree -- including data, timestamps and ACLs -- to a Samba 4.5.12 server. This is my Robocopy command: Robocopy.exe C:\source \\foo\bar /XA:SH /XJ /MIR /NODCOPY /COPY:DTSO /A+:A /ZB I noticed that for a significant number of files, Robocopy will systematically identify them as

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old

I'm still battling the dreaded "ERROR 5 (0x00000005)" error when trying to robocopy files from a W2K box to Samba 3.0.7 on FreeBSD. I've been fighting this since Samba 2.2.8 and the upgrade hasn't fixed it for me despite the entries in the changlelog. Now here's the strange part. If robocopy is sending NEW files, files which are on W2K but not on the Samba box, the copy

Hello, I'll soon have to migrate our samba shares to a netapp filer (not my decision). Currently the shares are on an xfs filesystem and served by samba 3.5.2, which is also the domain controller (a role that it will maintain, only the shares are being transferred) and sama/unix users are in ldap. The filer is in the domain and uses ldap to map user ids and that seems to work. Samba maps the

Hello, I'm trying to take a Samba-integrated file storage appliance with ZFS as the underlying file system (Nas4Free, in its latest incarnation, to be specific) into use and have gotten it Active Directory integrated just fine, and created shares on it. I can set the owner of the share to the domain Administrator, and I can alter ownership information from a Windows box just fine. ACL's
