similar to: folder redirecting for non-roaming users - is it reasonable?

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

I have an ISDN line with 10 numbers. The line is then connected to * with one HFC-based card. The format of the numbers is like below: 123456-0 123456-1 ... 123456-9 Now I would like to connect those numbers to different telephones, i.e. when someone dials 123456-0, he/she is connected to the digital receptionist. If someone dials 123456-2, the connection goes to SIP/202 If someone dials

Hello, I'm currently planning an environment which will survive any disaster like domain controller crash: PDC02 | VPN | switch | | PDC01 client01 PDC01 and PDC02 are domain controllers, and have identical smb.confs. client01 is a client, has WINS servers set to PDC01 and PDC02. users / passwords are replicated using LDAP. Now, under normal

Hello, Is there a list of software phones which will work with Asterisk? For Linux and Windows? I don't have any hardware yet, and before I buy anything I would like to know how Asterisk really works (with software "phones" for example). Tomek

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.

I have two offices in one city; employees work in both of them (once in office A, the next or an hour later in office B etc.). They would like to have the same profile (i.e., if they log off in office A, they would like to have their documents, Desktop, emails etc. in the profile in the office B when they arrive there an hour later). Is it possible with rsync to construct such a "two way

Hello, If you don?t want (Who wants ?) to save roaming profiles under Winnt\Profiles, than you have to change, or create (if not exist) a registry string: Run regedt32.exe and locate the key entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Add (or change) the following string: DeleteRoamingCache Standard value is 0, it has to be 1 All the Best. --

Hello, I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to replace Active Directory with Samba (+ OpenLDAP, Kerberos, DNS etc.) on Linux - but from what I've found I'm not sure. Is it possible, or partially possible (I don't need every feature of AD)? What additional software (besides Samba) will I need? What functionality will I loose? Where can I find any

Hello, I'm trying to get my Eicon Diva 2.01 PCI ISDN card working with Asterisk and was told that I still have some chance if I tried using chan_capi. I tried compiling it (chan_capi) on two systems running 2.6 kernels, but got lots of errors. Before I go investigating - is it possible to compile chan_capi on 2.6 kernels? Or does it work with 2.4 ones only? Tomek

I would like to have roaming profiles for one group of users (student1, student2), and local profiles for another group of users (Joe, Mary). Is it possible with Samba? From what I've tested, one can use either roaming profiles with a setting similar to the one below: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%G\%U Or local profiles, using the logon path empty: logon path = I have no clue how to

I've been trying to set up incoming faxes using spandsp with a HFC card. Unfortunately, incoming faxes are of very poor quality, the pages are not transferred wholly (sometimes only a bit of a page is transferred etc.). From what I've read, I may have troubles with correct "timing" (and need to set up ztdummy etc.). On the other hand, it is impossible to set ztdummy if one

Hi folks, I running samba 3.x in PDC mode with an ldap backend. Works great! I use roaming profiles with folder redirection on win2k, no problem. Here's the issue, I have a few machines that run xp pro that I need to give the users domain access but NOT roaming profiles. So, I have disabled roaming profiles on the pcs by using the "no propagate changes to the server" and "only

I'm using PXE booting to make operating system installations. There is one problem with it - it won't work when BIOS or NIC doesn't support network booting. Is it possible to put pxelinux somehow on a CD or on a floppy? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

Hello, Is it possible to use Group Policies in Samba (or Samba + OpenLDAP etc.)? I want to replace Active Directory with Samba (and possibly some other tools like OpenLDAP), and Group Policy is a feature I need to have.

I have a situation like that: Samba as a domain controller with roaming profiles enabled; Windows 200 SP4. Old user Joe with a roaming profile (doesn't work anymore). New user Bob which has to use Joe's roaming profile. Simply adding user "bob" to the system and renaming the old profile (home/samba/profiles/joe) to a new name (/home/samba/profiles/bob) doesn't work.

With Windows domain controllers with when the profile size is too big (and there are limits appled), when the user logs out, he/she gets a warning, and a list of files, sorted from the biggest, to the smallest. To get an idea how it looks like, here's a screenshot: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/5057/Screen_03.gif http://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/5057/5057.html Is

What is the easiest way to allow normal users to install printers (which are available through a Samba server)? Normally, Windows 2000 and XP need to have a printer installed by the admin first on a given workstation - only the it can be used by the user. I want to allow the user to install own printers. Now, when one trises to right click on a printer on a server and "connect", he

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 looking for some solution, working with Samba preferably, which would allow multiple users to work on one document. This means that if a user makes a change to the document, a previous version of that document is saved somewhere else. For example, user A opens a document (rw - read/write, ro - read-only document): rw \\server\share\document.txt User makes some changes, and saves it to

Hello, I have a following test environment: 1) Samba PDC + OpenLDAP Slave (192.168.1.2) 2) OpenLDAP Master (192.168.1.1). Whatever is changed/added on the Master, it gets replicated to Slave. Now, when a user is logged in, and tries to change the password - he/she must supply the old password, and twice new one (normal behaviour). After pressing OK the user is said that the password
