How do you manage printers on Windows workstations? What I mean, suppose you have many classrooms, different printers (which sometimes change) in these classroms - how do you manage which workstation (or a group of them) will use which printer? So far I've been using WPKG for that - as I described here: http://wpkg.org/wiki/index.php/Printer_configuration But somehow I feel it

hello i think always the same problem :( so i would like to put drivers on my samba server in $print in howto they said in section "Add printer wizard driver installation" chap 20 : " Do not click on Yes! Instead, click on No in the error dialog. Now you will be presented with the printer properties window. From here, the way to assign a driver to a printer is open. ->

I have made some changes to try and get the PDC working and now I am down to one thing where I believe the problem lies. All such documents on the setup show that the addition of users to the PDC should be added to passwd as well as LDAP but for my system that is not the case. I am running the listed software: Fedora Core 4 OpenLDAP 2.2.23 Samba 3.0.14a This is what currently happens when I

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

Does the domain administrator SID always end with -1000? I.e., if the SID for the domain is: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666 does this mean that the domain administrator's SID would be: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666-1000 ? How can I get the SID number for any given user? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org WPKG - software deployment and upgrades with Samba

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

I use wine from time to time, but I don't know how to deal with "ugly font problem". What I mean, fonts in Windows applications look really bad: http://wpkg.org/uglyfonts.png Is it possible to have "normal" fonts? If so, how? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org WPKG - software deployment and upgrades with Samba

According to the smb.conf man page, the "dos filemode" parameter will allow a user who is not the owner of a file to affect permissions changes on a file or folder provided he has write access to that object. This does not appear to be the case. Users with write access via user or group ACEs receive an "Access denied" error when attempting to make ACL changes via windows,

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k

Hello, I run a Windows domain based on Samba 3 and I am searching for a way to distribute/deploy software to clients. I.e., a user logging on to a client, software should be automatically installed or upgraded. Is there any common solution? I heard of MSI packages, but I don't know if it is necessary to create MSI packages of all installations... Thanks Florian

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

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

Hi all, I have been fishing through the archives and have not found a lot of posts about this that were not 'golden oldies.' Do you guys use anything other than brute force to deploy software and updates to your client PCs? I would be interested to know what you are using, whether you use it for initial OS install, software deployment/upgrades, or other things, and roughly how much

I am hoping someone can help here. I noticed a really odd issue. WINS resolution doesn't seem to work between my PDC and BDC, both Samba 3.0.14a boxes running on Debian. I have nsswitch.conf configured properly, I think. Here are the nsswitch.conf settings.
