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,

Hello all. I'm in the process of getting roaming profiles up and running on a RH 7.3 installation, running as a PDC on an 'NT Domain'. I've been reading the PROFILES.txt, and need to clear some things up. Do the rules that apply for WinNT, apply to Win2000, specifically the NTConfig.Pol file. If it does, I can't find it on either the samba server or the Win2000 machine,

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

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?

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

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

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

We have recently upgraded from Samba 2.0.4 to 2.2.7 on our test machine with a view to using W2K and WXp clients. We are using Samba on Solaris 7 version of Unix. Our client PC's are all NT 4, SP5. We have a default profile for users who login and load the major application (they don't see any of the NT desktop or have access to the Start button). Other users who have access to the desktop

Just a quick congrats to John for repling to this email constructivly. Too often do people fire out the ole RTFM speel. More people within the OpenSource community could do with taking a leaf out of his book. On topic for a second, do not discount being able to lower the spec of the below machine due to careful implementation and installation. You may wish to take a look at the kernel

Hi, I am wondering How to aply System policy with win2000. Pls. Be specific en don't send met to read HOWTO on samba.org cos I have done that and all I found was some staf foe winNT. Any kind of info would be goud. Tnx, Admir

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

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

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

Hi all, Can anyone point me in the right direction to apply Group Policies from a Samba 3.0.26 PDC to my Windows XP and Vista clients. I read chapter 26 of the Samba manual (dated April 3 2003) and I was wondering if the NTConfig.POL file in the NETLOGON share is the way to go here? Regards, Joost.

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

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

Ok, I'm going kinda nuts... I have a samba 3 + openldap domain, which works great for authentication, etc. I am trying to use the NTConfig.POL to enforce policies on a mix of 98/win2k and XP boxes. This is a K12 environment, so I need very restrictive policies for students, less so for teachers and staff. What seems to be happening, at least with the XP clients is that it gets the

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

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
