I need to replace a Windows 2000 Server with a Samba box. The W2K is the only domain controller in the network and it runs Active Directory. I know the Samba-3 limitations as an Active Directory Domain Controller, but I don't need absolutely all the features. What I would ideally need is: * Single Sign On * .adm policy files support (for client security and use restrictions - clients are

Hi all! I'm going mad about getting my shares mapped to my win2k and winXP machines from my Samba PDC Version 3.0.2 on Debian. Win-machines doesn't seem to execute logon.bat at all, except when i log on as root. I've set the ownership and chmod 0775 all logon.bat files to eatch user on my network. Am i just blind or are there something obvious/very wrong with my config? my smb.conf

Hello, After a great deal of tweaking, I finally got the Samba server working, so that it would accept domain logins. However, the problem I now have regards roaming profiles, which refuse to function. After successfully authenticating the user, the following 2 messages appear: Message 1: ---------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on

I was wondering, if it's possible to set up Samba as a sort of a domain controller for Linux workstations? I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

I am running a Sun Solaris system with Samba 3.0.0. The security level is user but I want 1 share as guest share so that everybody can read it without supplying a username or password. How can I do this ? Thanks for the help.

hi, does anybody know about the following situatuion and it's solution ? we configured an samba3 as pdc - sure in the way it was often described. but if we login on a windowsXP as domainmember (member of the admin group) it seems like we do not really have full administrator-permissions. we can add useres and can do some other tasks only an administraor is allowed to do. but some stuff

I am having an unusual bit of behavior with a recently upgraded 3.0.8 installation (from 3.0.2a). I upgraded the server and retained the secrets.tdb file. The server itself is using security = domain, and it had been joined to the domain prior to the upgrade. Now, once I started the new version, I couldn't log on, and would get the error "There are no logon servers available to service

Hi I hope someone can help We currently have Windows XP Professional PCs that logon to an old Novell Netware 3.12 server. We?re just using the standard Windows Netware client, and each user has a Windows XP User account and password that matches their Novell one.

Hi All, I have a strange problem with passwords, stored in LDAP.

I look at your article, and it did not change my view about profile. As we did not use any roaming/mandatory profile, nor we have any redirection. the only roaming we have is dedicated to few users and we use NFS as they are under linux, and way more simpler to set up. Strangely we do not have problems with those profiles. Maybe I am in a situation were : "You can't see the wood for the

this may sound like a basic question but i'm not entirely sure how roaming profiles work so i'm not sure if i have it working properly. i created a local user account on a client machine and then joined that machine to the domain. i then logged in as domain administrator and copied the user profile from the local machine to the server. if i login with this user account (now the domain

Hi Everyone, Does anybody use roaming profiles in domain level?

Hello, I'm trying to get Samba to work as a PDC for a group of Windows clients. I followed two tutorials form IBM developers works: 1) using Samba as a PDC (which is missing domain controller = yes), 2) Using an LDAP Directory for Samba authentication. So I was able tu run Samba 3 as a PDC (without LDAP) - I could join a domain, add a user, machines were added automatically, roaming

Hi all, We've been trying to setup/upgrade a samba PDC (version 3.56) with OpenLDAP as backend and roaming profiles for Windows7 (32bit) Clients. windows7 has no problem with login after applying the reg patches, however, it seems to always load a temporary profile as opposed to roaming one for users, no local profile is created. this has caused Outlook 2010 to function improperly
