similar to: Windows 2K/XP Profile/Homedir replication issue?

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 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

Hi! How do you guys solve windows security updates? Is there a way to force windows computers to be updated. Even more flexible is if one can update windows through login script.

Hi all! I have configured a Samba PDC (3.0.7) on a Fedora Core 2 machine with LDAP authentication (conform http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html). I have about 180 Windows XP Pro clients using this PDC to log onto the domain, which works great! However I seem to have trouble synchronizing the time on the clients to the time on the server. The users (in group Domain Users) do not have

Has anyone looked into creating custom templates for Microsoft's System Policy editor ? I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated. Does anyone know if it would be worth-while to take the time and create an updated Template to add policies to manage newer features of Windows 2000/XP through the NTConfig.POL

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),

I would like to configure a linux ntp server on my lan as the ntp server for my windows xp clients I'm not able to come to an understandable solution (due probably to my lack in windows knowledge) I found this in samba archives: CLASS MACHINE CATEGORY !!Time POLICY !!NTPServer KEYNAME SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters PART !!NTP_SERVER EDITTEXT VALUENAME

Hi, I''ve downloaded the latest svn trunk and was glad to see that Ajax.InPlaceEditor forms can now be correctly submitted on Safari as well, with the server response being correctly displayed as well. The problem is, however, that clicking again on the same element (after sumbitting it first) will duplicate the submit form. The next attempt will triplicate it etc, etc... Could

Hello everybody... My patch to add advanced d3d settings in winecfg is almost ready. In fact, i only have to figure out how to detect video memory size to display it when no key is set to force it or to reset. Stefan D told me to use DirectDraw, but i wouldn't find. So that is the last thing (except some better naming...) to do for this patch. Everything works well and i would like some

Is there a way to automatically enable Remote Desktop from a NETLOGON script? I want to enable Remote Desktop on *a lot* of machines, but I don't want to do it manually. -- Andrew Gaffney

I'm having a randomly occurring problem with some of the laptops that we maintain. They are joined to our Samba domain (samba-3.0.14a-1). Every once in a while when they are disconnected from the local network they will drop their cached domain passwords and will not allow the user to log back into the computer. It will return a domain unavailable error until it is plugged back into the

Hi, Plz, i have installed a Samba NT PDC Domain with XP Prof. and strangelly the machines are syncronizing with the Samba Server when the user Logoff of the domain. I've used the smb.conf below in others domains and XP clients have never synchronized before. I understand that i'm not using roaming profile, because the logon path is empty. The only difference in this domain is that

Hi guys, I have another question, we have this line on our .rb code: @variable = params [:user][:bird] I need to be able to change the 2nd field into a variable because it is a changing valuename, I was wondering if you had any trick for that. Meaning I need to make [:bird] into [:dog] or [:cat]... It''s proven really tricky for me to get it to change I wonder if you guys had any

Hello. It would be very useful for my project being able to annotate Value's. An int would do fine. I found an old message with this same subject talking about the Annotation interface and Annotable object, but the doxygen graphs says that only Function is annotable. Could I use the ValueName for the job? It would be enough, although quite clumsy. Seems that Value's of type void

Hi List, We have a large (6500 desktops) network distributed over a few dozen sites. The clients are (almost) all Windows95 and WinXP. We currently use Netware as our network operating system, and are looking at the possibility of moving to (Samba on) Linux to provide file and print services. One of the nice things about Novell NDS is that you can specify printers that are available to

Dear All, Is it possible under WinXP to set the R binary path (...\R\bin) as an environment variable during installation? (rw2010.exe) The problem is that I've written a program that needs to know the path of Rterm.exe during installation. At the moment the user can't choose the R installation path ("/DIR={pf}\\R /SILENT"). If I would know where the user install R the

Hi, I would like to install multiple printers (about a hundred) to my Linux site. I have created a smb.conf-file with all the printers (and also a printers.conf as I use CUPS for printing). The printers are e.g. HP LJ 4050 and I do not want to install every one the manual way (I use NT for that). When I manually installs a printer e.g. HP LJ 4050 with driver within lj345.exe from microsoft, the

Hi, I am trying to use R at work and at home on the same computer. At work, I have a proxy, and at home, I do not. I have, for work, a User environment variable "http_proxy" which I set in the OS (Windows XP Pro). When I am at work, and I try to retrieve data from the web with 'read.csv', things work just fine. I assume it knows how to use the proxy. The trouble is when I
