Hello, Do you have tips or sample script code to deploy MSI (Firefox in my case) using script ? I miss my gpo software installation from Win2k/2003 :) Thanks !

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 I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated.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

Hey, all. I'm looking -- if possible -- for a decent, multi-platform soft-phone. Specifically, Linux and Windows; that way, I'll go through the same issues my end users do. I've noticed a couple (e.g., minisip, which seems abandoned, and sip-communicator, which, honestly, is probably a great IM client, but has a confusing interface for actual phone calls). So I'm wondering if

I think you are talking about making it act like WSUS or RIS role. This is not possible (but would be cool).

Hi colleagues I am trying to implement security for my network with samba, I am using poledit, but it has very few choices, I am using nitrobit group policy, but this needs a serial, and I do not have it. Someone I can recommend a software like nitrobit to implement security to the network. -- -- Roylan Suarez Reyes Admin. Redes JC. Vinales roylan04012@pri.jovenclub.cu Telef: 793210

Can I deploy software/applications through group or domain policy with samba?

List, Thanks tremendously to JC and JHT for guiding (nay, kicking) me toward getting ACLs to work on RHAS3. Reading the RH sysadmin guide about ACLs and searching elsewhere, as well as thinking for myself, were also a pre. Now for something completely different: High school in Amsterdam Netherlands: - RHAS3 - Samba 3.0.11 RPC, not ADS (no way we're upgrading while the bug reports keep

I'm curious how others manage their windows 7 machines on a samba 3.x.x domain .. especial the part of policies and scripts. i got the win7 running in the samba domain, but i'm stuck in the policies part.. and i don't want to use nitrobit for this. how do other users do this.. ?! thx, Collen

Is possible to store the Group Policy Container (GPC) on a OpenLDAP? Is possible to store the Group Policy Template (GPT) on a Samba share? The idea is to manage windows desktop policies using the new Win200x GPOs without using an Active Directory. Any other hints?

Most of my users (unfortunately me included) need to use a bloated, badly designed piece of sh^Hoftware that only works with administrator's rights (I won't say names but it's from a big german company strongly pushing for software patents). How can I assign those users Administrator's rights without phisically going to each machine? I cold put them in the 'Domain

i am using samba 3.0.14a as recommended but it seems that for some reason that i can't understand, no domain groups show up on any administration tool like poledit and nitrobit policy editor groups like users (domain not local) and ntadmins where are they Thanks Nikos Sarantopoulos --------------------------------- ??????????????

Hi all, I've managed to install an ubuntu server as PDC, everything is working fine. However, i've got a few questions regarding profile ( M$ XP ) and unix accounts. 1. Roaming profile : I believed that when logging off a computer, user's profile was moved back to the server. But i can still find one. Is there anything to do for the profile not to be stored on pc ? 2. An account

Hi ! I use samba (3.0.7) with ldap backend. I have installed above system some time ago. During our migration from netware to samba i had to disable period password change and do not remeber what i have "clicked" :-/ What parameters should be "on" to enable this functionality ? greetz boka

hello I am using samba 3.0.11 as a PDC. Is it able to create a 'All Users' profile in the samba server so when my clients login the NT machine, it will retrieve the 'All users' profile from the samba instead of using the local 'All users' profile? Currently, i am only able to create the 'Default Users' on netlogon share for the users. Carmen

Hi list. I've just configured a PDC server using RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (update 5) and Samba 3.0.25a. Everithing is working fine. I'm not using LDAP and all my client machines are installed with Windows XP Professional. I used the Mike Petersen website ( http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html) to help me creating the NTConfig.pol file and created custom profiles

Hi All, I'm working on a full migration from windows DC to samba DC, and i'm actually having a problem with terminal server settings! I run a terminal server on win2k, but i would store all my user information on samba. Although, i don't find any documentations or info about terminal server setting with samba. Is it supposed to be possible to store it with samba and a ldap backend,

Hi guys, I have samba domain controller running at a client. It's a fairly simple and straightforward setup, uses smbpasswd for auth, nothing fancy. The client wants to be able to vpn in and access their files. I setup pptp, and use the built in WindowsXP client. After establishing the vpn connection, I can access the domain controller. I get asked for my username and pass - type in

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.
