similar to: migrating local user profiles to roaming domain profiles

While this doesn't relate specifically to Samba, I need to do this in a netlogon .bat file in a Samba domain. In my network, I have a printer hooked to a JetDirect so that it is a TCP/IP printer. Is there a way I can automatically have this printer mapped/added when the user is logged on? -- Andrew Gaffney

I don't know the final answer BUT if you have something simmilar to a cyber-cafe LAN (I mean, users use all the computers, and maybe some users come back to login with the same name) then you have to install a printer only once in a computer, loging as the administrator and installing drivers. Then what users will have to do is JUST add the printer without installing. I know that it's

Can anyone point me to a doc or a script that shows how to generate netlogon script on the fly and supports users having multiple groups? I tried the Perl script referenced at <http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/AdvancedNetworkManagement.html> but I believe it only supports the user being a member of one group. -- Andrew Gaffney

I have a samba 2.2.4 PDC which acts as the repository of roaming profiles. Just recently some of our users have experienced failure to load roaming profiles. The clients are on a pair of Windows 2000 terminal servers. The failure does not seem to be confined to one server and only affects some people. The error given takes place during the loading profile stage: Windows can not copy: \\Samba

There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd,

I already have an existing network that is managed by a samba PDC. In the next few days, I will be linking another small LAN to the existing one over the internet using openvpn. I've been told that samba (through no fault of its own) doesn't work very well through a VPN. For the new network, there will be a box with 2 NICs: one for the internet and one for the LAN. This box will use

Hi, I have set up a Samba 2.2.7a to work as a PDC for my Win2k boxes. They can join the domain suplied by samba, and all the users can log on to their domain but, the roaming profiles just won't work. I'm using win2k SP4 and my smb.conf is as described bellow: [global] workgroup = CASA netbios name = SERVIDOR interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0 bind interfaces

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've got a CD built with Gentoo's catalyst that uses isolinux 2.13. On the Athlon box (2003 BIOS), I get Disk error 80 with 2 different CD-RW, a CD-R, and 3 different builds of this CD. On my P2 box (2001 BIOS), it hangs for a while at "Loading", then I get "Loading gentoo...." for about 10 minutes, and then I get Disk error 5A. This same ISO boots just fine on another

In the samba domain I admin, one of the computers runs the Peachtree accounting software. Today, McAfee antivirus was installed on that box (not my doing) and now Peachtree keeps giving "Locking table limit reached" errors. Is this an error from samba, Windows, or Peachtree? Is there a limit to the number of file locks samba can grant at one time? -- Andrew Gaffney Network

Hello everyone! I have had a lot of luck with mailing lists in the past, so I'm hoping this one works out well also. I've recently helped my company move from an NT4 PDC to a Samba 2.2.7a PDC and everything has gone smoothly until this point. We made the decision to migrate to roaming profiles so our users could move around and use whichever computer they wanted to unlike before,

Hello, I have a shiny new RHES4 box running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E (as included in the Red Hat distribution) which is set up as a domain controller, using openLDAP and the IdealX scripts. User PCs are Windows 2000 and XP. We would like to avoid roaming profiles altogether, so we set "logon path =" and "logon home =" (with no argument to the right of the equals sign) in smb.conf.

Hello, When a notebook joins a domain, it creates a new (roaming) profile for the domain user. XP sees this user (Domain\User) as someone different from the local user (Hostname\User) which existed before. Is there a way to reconcile these two personalities, while keeping the profile as roaming, so the user can both use different computers in the domain with his roaming profile, and also use

Before I join all my W2K clients to my 3.0.8-2 Samba server (Debian), I plan to remove "logon path = ..." due to sporatic problems I'm seeing. We're only ~10 regular Windows2000 users, and ~30 VMware Win2K users, so roaming doesn't buy us much. However, it might be helpful if I could enable roaming either by user or by host, particularly with the VMware users. Is

Hey all, Relatively new to Samba configuration here - I've set up a system where XP clients can login and get their roaming profiles and all is well with that, but I see the synchronization which takes place on logout to be a big problem. So, I'm looking to turn off roaming profiles and instead go with remapping the documents, desktop and pictures folders to their server

We're trying to implement a mixed environment with both roaming and local profiles. To differentiate between local and roaming profiles, we use the documented logon path = path for local accounts and logon path = /some/path for roaming accounts. for the logon path to be different, we use include files, since many people have indicated success using this setup. However, we

Hello, I'm having an "Access denied" issue using roaming profiles for Windows Vista Ultimate RTM (patched to current). The actual login is successful, the full name is set properly and the password is handled correctly, however only a temporary profile is created. The interesting thing is that all else being the same, I do not encounter the same issue for Windows XP roaming

Hi. I have a samba server designed to PDC on my network. The roaming profiles is enabled and work fine. But some apps used from the samba server share, apparently need to the user in the station have admin privileges. Im enabling in the station (XP or Win7) the admin privileges to the station asigned user (DOMAIN\user) but in that case, the roaming profile is not a complete solution, because
