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

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, I am new to samba. I have created samba as PDC. I want to restrict users for changing settings. I have configured all client machines with XP. How can i use Group Policy with netlogon.

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?

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

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

I am running Samba 2.2.7a on SuSE 8.0 and all Windows/XP clients in a PDC configuration. All runs great except for one problem. I cannot get NTconfig.pol to be used. I have placed it in the netlogon share and read/execute permissions are wide open. I turn on samba loglevel=3 and I never see samba even try to look for NTconfig.pol, or any *.pol file. This occurs for all of my clients. Any

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, My organization is an university with many student/teacher users. I have migrated from Win2000 Server to Samba 2.2.8 and I'd like to implement the following resources: 1) User logon in specific machines: I need student logon in only one machine when doing tests. For example: joe using pc1, mary using pc2, etc. 2) User logon in specific hours: the same application for tests.

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 ).

Hi Everybody, Does anybody that have it working can give me a sample of what looks like a NTConfig.POL file that changes users passwords every 45 days. I?m using samba 3.0.10 with ldap backend. Any help will be appreciated. Thank?s Gustavo

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k

Hi everyone! I have some trouble with samba 3.0.23 as PDC for NT4 workstations with SP6a. I have upgraded from samba2. 1. The ntconfig.pol from the netlogon-share does'nt work. I get a prf1.tmp in the User-Profile-Folder and the policy wouldn't mix to the registry. In the Event-Log I found an entry "RegLoadKey ist mit dem Fehler 87 f?r C:\WINNT\Profiles\aba\prfD.tmp

Has anyone looked in to domain policy for Win2K/XP machines from a SAMBA controlled domain? I have played around with these policies from within a Win2K AD-domain, and wondered if I can carry my policies over to a SAMBA domain. Any info, or reference to relevent documentation is appreciated. This mail has passed through an insecure network. All enquires should be directed to the message

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.

Hello, I installed two debian sarge servers with the following services: OPENLDAP, SAMBA 3.0, HEARTBEAT and DRBD. I used debian packages. The RAID over IP is used for the /data and /home partitions. I created a NTConfig.POL for my domain workstations and put it in /home/samba/netlogon. But when a user log on a machine, the policy is not applied. For details: # l /home/samba/ total 4

This isn't technically a samba question, but I figure there will be other samba users out there in the same boat. I have just setup the first Vista box on our samba domain and I am having some trouble with policies (they don't get applied). I have had a look around and there is alot of talk about the adm->admx change, etc but I haven't seen anyone say that anything needs to

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

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
