Has anyone looked into creating custom templates for Microsoft's System Policy editor ? I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated. Does anyone know if it would be worth-while to take the time and create an updated Template to add policies to manage newer features of Windows 2000/XP through the NTConfig.POL

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Back-end is LDAP. What are some good techniques for Domain management from the windows side? I've got usermgr.exe and svrmgr.exe but: 1. I don't know what functions these tools are or are not supposed to be able to perform on a Samba domain as yet. 2.

Dear All, Is it possible under WinXP to set the R binary path (...\R\bin) as an environment variable during installation? (rw2010.exe) The problem is that I've written a program that needs to know the path of Rterm.exe during installation. At the moment the user can't choose the R installation path ("/DIR={pf}\\R /SILENT"). If I would know where the user install R the

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

Hi! How do you guys solve windows security updates? Is there a way to force windows computers to be updated. Even more flexible is if one can update windows through login script.

Hey there, Just a question for you Samba 2.2.x gurus out there :) We have a contingent (a steadily increasing contingent) of Win2K and WinXP workstations. Does anyone here know how to stop the profiles from replicating? If we create a file in the profile dir, say \\PDC\UserHome\profile.doc. It will replicate that to the profile directory, while one file or two files are not a problem, we use

Hi, I think I have two questions - one which is samba and one which is windows policy files. I'll try to limit this question to the samba side but will give the full picture for completeness. I'm trying to implement a simple policy to redirect a few simple folders (for starters). I have a policy file called NTConfig.POL that is available on my share \\wilson\netlogon (wilson is the

Hello: I am operating a Samba server as the only domain controller in a network consisting of 8 Windows 2000 clients and two Windows 98 clients. The server is running as a virtual machine in Xen and connects to the network over a bridged interface (I mention this because it may be relevant to the problem). 1. If the Samba server is configured thusly: [global] domain master = yes local master =

Greetings, I am trying to join a EMC Celerra NS502 CIFS server to our Samba 3.0.21a domain controller. According to EMC, I was told that we need to manually create the machine account first. How is the best way to do this? We are using an openLDAP backend, using the idealx scripts. Joining a windows machine from the computer properties dialog of that machine works perfectly. Things I have

Is there a way to automatically enable Remote Desktop from a NETLOGON script? I want to enable Remote Desktop on *a lot* of machines, but I don't want to do it manually. -- Andrew Gaffney

Hi all! I have configured a Samba PDC (3.0.7) on a Fedora Core 2 machine with LDAP authentication (conform http://samba.idealx.org/smbldap-howto.en.html). I have about 180 Windows XP Pro clients using this PDC to log onto the domain, which works great! However I seem to have trouble synchronizing the time on the clients to the time on the server. The users (in group Domain Users) do not have

Hello. It would be very useful for my project being able to annotate Value's. An int would do fine. I found an old message with this same subject talking about the Annotation interface and Annotable object, but the doxygen graphs says that only Function is annotable. Could I use the ValueName for the job? It would be enough, although quite clumsy. Seems that Value's of type void
