similar to: Using user policies with samba3 and windows 2000

Hello all, I've been trying to figure out what the best way of doing the group policy thing is. We are running samba 3 on slackware 9 with winxp clients. We are a school. i'm unclear on how much AD is actually supported... OU GPO all that. so i decided to go the "administrative template" way (used to be .pol files) I'm thinking of having the students run off of a

Hello everyone, Not really a Samba problem, but I hope someone can help me : I am doing some tests for integrating XP clients on Samba 3.02 with LDAP backend. I have tried this on a test machine on which I have applied local policies withthe gpedit.msc console (ie : Delete the roaming profiles or hide the logon scripts...) and this work perfectly. Now I'd like to do the same on other

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

I found this from http://charon.minilab.bdeb.qc.ca/anonym/nt/2000/ads/TTGW2KGP_Vol1through4.pdf I would like to figure out how to do this gpedit.msc+AD+gpc+gpt magic for win2k/xp with linux+samba(2.2/3.0/tng)+openldap and is it possible at all? Thanks. Although GPOs provide significantly more policy features than NT 4.0 System Policy provides, GPOs are stored and processed differently than NT

We make use of NT4 policies on our Samba domain. NTconfig.POL needs to be in \\domaincontroller\netlogon. I don't believe that you can use Active Directory GPOs (group policy objects) with a Samba domain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Hoover, Network Administrator KSU - Salina, College of Technology and Aviation (785) 826-2660

Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines using samba 3.2.3 ? In samba documentation in : http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html There is references to apply policies in NT/2000 Server and winxp clients, but it's not clear to me that will run fine or not using samba 3.2.3+winxp machines. If exist a way, How ? I was create a local policies using

Hi folks, I am trying to deploy an LDAP based Samba3 PDC, migrated from an old WinNT4 Domain to support roaming profile for new WinXP clients. But I do not want a full roaming profile. AFAIK WinXP profiles tends to grow. If possible, I would like to roam only the desktop settings, and maybe the navigator (IE or Firefox) configuration. Another important (I believe) information is that our WinXP

[samba v3.0.24, gentoo w/ kernel 2.6.15] I'm hoping someone has some insight into the following problem that I've recently encountered: Basically, winxp seems to be creating roaming profiles that are incompatible with another winxp client. I've got two sets of winxp clients, which I'll call 'new' and 'old'. Profiles created (and perfectly usable) by the old

Through much help from a guy in my local LUG I found the solution to making roaming profiles work on Win2000 (SP4). 1) You should have SP4 installed. 2) Two registry changes are needed: Use regedit and change the following two dword attributes to 0 "requiresignorseal" "signsecurechannel" 3) Run the group policy editor "gpedit.msc" and enable the

Hello, I'm looking for some extremely general tips/hints/ideas here, because I am sure that I may be missing out on some good ways of managing the Windows PCs on my network. This is what I have and what is available to me: - Samba 3.0.x (current Debian/Sarge version) - LDAP backend for Samba - Windows XP SP2 clients - Domain users are typically unprivileged users - A

We migrated our entire domain over to a samba3 domain, now I would like to apply a few policies to the network. I've been reading a few migration papers, most mention about a .POL file which is created upon exporting policy keys on a wintel machine. Using gpedit I don't see an export option. What tool should I use for this? greg

I have a samba/ldap PDC with a netlogon share and a samba member server (called sirius) with Profiles and homes shares (samba 3.0.14). Each user in the LDAP database has its sambaHomeDrive attribute set to "H:". I'm trying to follow http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold to configure my XP Pro client. It seems that I'm unable to have "folder

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.

Hi there, again me, again similar question. First of all, what is it, what I'd like to have: 1.) Every user in my System should use the same profile. In dsa.msc I gave every user as profile-path \\samba4\profiles\stud 2.) The users should not be able to change anything in that profile (I think changing ntuser.dat to ntuser.man should do the job, proposed i got step one managed ;) )

How do you disable roaming profiles in Windows 2000? I know in Windows XP you use gpedit.msc but I don't see where in windows 2000 to disable roaming profiles. Any suggestions? Thanks, Adam

Hey all, according to the whitepaper http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736591%28v=ws.10%29.aspx I would like to a windows shortcut on the desktop that allows me to open and run the "Group Policy Editor" *for my samba4/AD domain*.
