Hello, have some little problems adding user to domain with USRMGR.EXE My System runs on SuSE 9.1 (2.6.5-7.75-default), samba-3.0.4, smbldap-tools-0.8.5, openldap2-2.2.6 If I try to add a new user with USRMGR.EXE I get an error "Access denied", but if I look into LDAP the new user was correctly added to LDAP. If I confirm the error-message and then cancel the "NEW USER"

Hi all, I've setup Samba 3.0.5 + OpenLDAP (ldapsam) and everything work correctly. However, while my Windows 200x workstation join the domain, I need to join it twice. Here is what I do: 1. Go to Computer properties -> Computer Name -> Change 2. Enter the new domain name 3. Enter Administrator and password then, it will return me that the user name cannot be found. I've checked

I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting an LDAP directory set up for the idmap backend for winbind. I've been working on it for quite a while, and haven't found any very helpful websites or anything. I've found quite a bit on how to set up a PDC using LDAP, which would be nice, but I already have the PDC... I just need LDAP to host UID's and GID's. The things I'd like

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

passdb appears a lot of times in smba logs, even if it uses LDAP as a backend, as in my config. Maybe the log message should be changed in the code for something easier to debug... But this error message you said, only appears if you try to add or delete the user twice from LDAP, so you should remove "-a" from the add user script and comment out the user delete script if you intend to

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?

Hi I'm trying to aply policy to my domain users, but isn't working. I'm created a NTConfig.pol with poledit.exe (from WinNT service pack 4 (adminpak.msi)) and save on netlogon share. When client logon, nothing hapen. How can i check if policy is downloaded from server? What this could be? :( Samba: 3.0.20b-Debian Linux: Debian Client: Windows XP and SP2 ps: i couldn't find

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,

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

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

Using poledit and NTCONFIG.POL with Samba3 and XP workstations I was wondering if somebody could tell me how I can get line breaks to appear in the Logon Banner Text. I have tried /n and ~ so far but no luck Thanks, Amir

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 all, I am new to samba. I have created samba as PDC. I want to restrict users for changing settings. I have configured all client machines with XP. How can i use Group Policy with netlogon.

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

In addition to the instructions below, you must have complied the NSS_LDAP from www.padl.com on your SAMBA PDC. I have written a how-to with instructions to compile NSS_LDAP and an example smb.conf attached to this email. I got the detailed directions from the "SAMBA 3 by example" at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ Good luck, Pat -----Original Message----- From:

Good Day, I downloaded samba-2.2.9, installed and configuted it on a Solaris 5.7 system. I have configured it as a PDC, however whenever i try to join the domain i have created, Windows ask that i enter a username and password authorized to join systems to the domain. Normally with a Windows 2000 server entering the administrators username and password will do it, however I get this error

Hi samba gurus, I have a successful install of samba/LDAP (on FC5) and am looking at applying security templates for different groups. I had this successfully working on my old RH9 box running samba (but not using LDAP). Using poledit, I created groups (sales, it, etc) that were the same as my linux groups, and created a Ntconfig.POL file. Referring to this article for use on poledit.exe and

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

Hi, I have read that Windows 7 is using a new admx format and that it is not compatible with the old-school poledit. If I would like to stick with a Samba PDC, is there any elegant way to get Windows 7 client to obey the folder redirection(and possibly other rules) set using poledit & NTConfig.pol? I have been searching the mailing list, but there doesn't seems to be much detailed
