Hello, I have Samba 3 PDC and win2k sp4 client. I would like to install printer on a machine globally, for all users. To do this, I use: net use X: \\server\unattended /user:domain\unattended password rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /y /ga /in /n \\server\HP2000C First line is mounting share (Administrator is not logged to the domain), and the second line is to install printer.

Hi, I would want Samba shares to be automatically mounted as logicals drives on win9x machines. For this i try to use KIXTART (http://www.kixtart.org), a logon script processor for Windows. The advantage is that a unique login script may be used for all the users. The shares need to be mounted accordingly to the unix groups the user belongs to. Fo example, if a user belongs to the IT and TOTO

Has anybody done such a thing as this? I'm looking to make this transition as smooth as possible. I have the new fileserver up and running, and I'm using rsync to keep the Novell data current on the Samba server. Any words of advice on transferring the users and groups and permissions over to the new server in the least painful way possible? I have some idea that Novell uses LDAP

Hi all, I have been working on this for days to no avail. I am unable to join any machine to my domain. I think the server's machine password got corrupted but don't know how to change it. From the PDC, I try: oink:/usr/local/src/samba-3.0.12/source # net join PDC Password: Could not connect to server CORPSRV The username or password was not correct. From a member server, I try:

When I used smbldap-populate way back when I set up my LDAP server, I got two sambaDomainName objects in my LDAP tree -- one for the domain name (CORP) and one for the PDC Netbios name (CORPSRV). My Windows XP systems complain that they can't find the PDC for the domain CORPSRV. I am wondering if I even need the second sambaDomainName in LDAP at all. Any ideas? Misty

Hello, I have spent the afternoon learning how to configure my routers to allow directed-broadcast with an access list, so that I can allow two different domains on different subnets to trust each other. Now I can do a broadcast ping from either subnet to the other, and I can also do smbclient -L <remote_pdc> and get the shares, from one side. From the other side I cannot. Let me

running debian 3.1 "sarge" ppc and samba 3.08 I want to have my win98se computer users to have their shares automatically mapped. 1. I have read that I would use a netlogin directory and put scripts in there? 2. Does anyone know if samba has to be set up a special way ADS, wins, etc... to use the netlogin directory and it's scripts? "this server is the only smb server

Hi all, In trying to upgrade Samba here, I have built various versions from 3.0.11 to 3.0.14a using various versions of gcc and the Sun compiler (this is on Solaris SPARC) and had the following problem in all cases. Running the built samba as a logon server, I find that WinXP clients work fine but Win9X clients have some difficulties. The problem is that the Win9X logon script can't

Hi all, I've got a share called [ACCOUNTING] with the following share definition: [ACCOUNTING] path = /data/samba/shares/Accounting valid users = @acct @"Domain Admins" browseable = yes public = no read only = no force group = acct Here is the permissions on the directory: oink:/data/samba/shares # ls -ld /data/samba/shares/Accounting drwxrwxr-x 9 root acct 4096 Nov 29 09:30

I just wanted to write to you guys and thank you for all of your help and hand-holding as I upgraded our company's file server from a Pentium 200mmx running Novell 4.11 to a nice P4 server running Linux and Samba 3.0.9. It took from September to the end of December to accomplish it, but I have gotten compliments from several users about how smooth the transition was. My environment

Hi all, We have Samba 3 up to and including 3.0.9 working fine using LDAP for the backend. XP and 9X logons work fine. On upgrading to newer versions (inc. 3.0.11, 3.0.14a and tried 3.0.20), in the same configuration, 9X logons stop working properly - they authenticate, but fail to get information such as groups and user's full name. XP still works fine. We use KIX for our logon

Hi, We are testing AD migration and have come across an issue with login script. The current (pre-ad) login scripts is located in /home/samba/netlogon and the login script is KIX32.exe. Post the migration, we copied the contents of the /home/samba/netlogon to /var/lib/samba/sysvol/lin.group/scripts. When the users (both standard users and domain admins) login, the login script (KIX32)

Hi Guys, Advise, I have 200 users, they all have access to 20 shares in different combinations. They all have their own netlogon scripts... its a management nightmare, is there a way to create a universal netlogon script that I can include all the shares to mount and it will silently fail on the ones it cant? Perhaps there is a smarter way to implement this idea, lynching is welcome, so is

Hi all, I have two different domains. At one point I had them trusting eaach other but then I ruined it. Now I am trying to get them back. They both have LDAP backend. I need them bot to trust each other and be trusted by each other. Here are the steps I am following: 1. On each domain, create a computer account called the other domain: CORP: smbldap-useradd -ai FURN$ CORP:

Hello, Can someone tell me how to resolve the "winbindd: Exceeding 200 client connections, no idle connection found" error in my log.winbind? I see tons of them on a regular basis. samba-3.0.28,1 squid-2.6.18 FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #1: Thu Mar 15 01:46:50 CDT 2007 Kind regards, Elvar

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

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb. Just compiled 3.0.8 on the new server (which has the same hostname), copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/lib and copied th secrets.tdb to /usr/local/samba/private. Started Samba, did 'net getlocalsid' and it

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:

Any body using kixtart with your samba server..? or anyone have any great scripting tools for logon scripts...
