similar to: W2k can't recognise Samba ldap groups of users

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 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 am running samba 2.2.8 as PDC with ldapsam and acl support. Some users must be have power users or administrators right. In 2.2.8 samba vesion how to patch ou configure samba for see more than one group for a w2k client ? example : toto first group : user second group : power users I can't use samba 3.0 alpha because the server is in product. Thank you

I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

Hello samba people, is there anybody who got users logins with modified Shell Folders or User Shell Folders registry keys working with W2k-Clients ? After trying to get this to work for about a week, I'm really stuck.... :( Bye, Axel -- ,gis siht no noitpyrcne eht gnikaerb yB .liaj ot oG .ACMD eht detaloiv evah uoy

Hi, After switching to samba3 I've noticed that it doesn't allow connections with empty usernames with security = user anymore. Samba2 mapped empty user to nobody, is there a way to achieve such behavior? It is needed for compatibility - we still have lots of W2k workstations that allow passing empty usernames in login prompts (as opposed to XP). Adding null/NULL to

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

Hi, after setting up samba 2.2.3a as a PDC and connecting a few NT4- and W2k-Clients to the PDC (which worked fine without any problems), I tried to install a policy to redirect some folders in the user profiles. I used poledit to create a policy with modified 'Shell Folders' and 'User Shell Folders' keys and copied it to the netlogon share. This is where the problems started: The

I as wondering how I can stop a user from accessing the net if they just Cancel out of the logon. I know I can use the poledit, but I prefer to do it from samba. Id Imagine it has something to do with mapping to a guest user who has no access. Can someone clarify this for me? Ty Kev

hi When I highlight a printer icon in Win 2K, the Status bar shows Status: Access Denied, Unable to connect. It shows this for all samba printers. I can print a test page even though it shows access denied. Anyone know how to fix this? thanks.

So only for old NT4 style PDC - BDC environment one needs poledit. While AD's (with virtual pdc role servers) can use the MMC.? We got a pure Samba AD environment and thus it should work. Be it that we might not have all mmc templates (not yet checked that). Thanks Viktor. -----Original message----- From: Viktor Trojanovic?<viktor at troja.ch> Sent: Wednesday 21st October 2020

John, What I've done so far is mostly a hack. I've implemented some custom VBS scripts at login to install software (that only works part of the time because my method for granting the users admin priviledges is a UI based VBS hack which types the password in for them from an encrypted VBS script) and I've yet to implement any Windows policies as I've not been motivated enough to

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

Hey, Quick question. We run Samba 2.2.8, is there a version of Samba (2.2.x/3.x) that allows me to do the following : Go into Poledit, add a group that corresponds to a UNIX group (e.g. Staff) and set policies on it, having those policies apply to ANYONE in UNIX group 'staff' ? The samba server we have is the only PDC and have several NT4 servers as members only. Any thoughts? I

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 @all, I have some question I can't find a explanation. I have a standalone Samba3 as PDC. It works perfect with LDAP. Now I want to implement Policies. 1) Is it possible to use GPO from ads ? And if so, where to store this policies. 2) Or can I only use policies created with poledit from NT4 which should be stored in NETLOGON. Any help or links about this would be apreciated.

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, 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

Am going thru the learning curve on using samba as a primary controller. Samba is up and running just fine. However, I'm a bit confused on the ntlogin.pol thing. I'm gathering, if all the workstations are winxp, I need to do this?? "Go to the Windows 200x/XP menu Start->Programs->Administrative Tools and select the MMC snap-in called Active Directory Users and Computers
