similar to: how a domain user can become a local administrator ?

Hi, in my logon.bat file i put : net time \\admin /SET /YES to synchronise computer time with the server. This works when the user who is login in has administrator rights on the computer. How can i do with users who are just "member of the domain"? Is there a way to run this command "as administrator" ? Thanks for any help

I have a simple script that sets the time on a Windows client at startup. The one-line script: net time \\myhost /set /yes Works perfectly well when I double-click it from Windows Explorer, so I don't think the problem lies there. The relevant lines in my smb.conf file: [global] time server = yes logon script = smbtimeset.BAT [netlogon] comment = shared scripts path =

I'm trying to setup Samba in ADS security mode so I can run winbind for NSS and Kerberos for user authentication, chiefly for shell accounts for developers. These hosts will not provide any file or printer services, at least in the near-term. My hosts are CentOS 3 (a free RHEL3 clone) and my ADS servers are Windows 2000 (not 2003), in hybid mode. I am using stock RPMs for both Kerberos and

Hello all, I am trying to automate a list to be filled in a FOR LOOP. Basically I need to load info from a third source and store it into a list. This list goes to object "A"; The next list brought in by the LOOP goe to object "B".. os on ans so forth. When the iteration on the LOOP goes well (which means it isn't empty) I get something like this: A [[1]]

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

Hey all, Let me first start by saying everything is working as expected so far! This is about my login script being shared from the netlogon directory. My XP client sees and executes the 99% of the script. The last little bit is permissions-related. In my logon.vbs script I am attempting to set the registry key to disable offline folder syncs. A "Domain User" cannot uncheck this

Hi. I have a samba server designed to PDC on my network. The roaming profiles is enabled and work fine. But some apps used from the samba server share, apparently need to the user in the station have admin privileges. Im enabling in the station (XP or Win7) the admin privileges to the station asigned user (DOMAIN\user) but in that case, the roaming profile is not a complete solution, because

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

Hello: I have a client that is using MS SQL Server in a Windows 2003 server. They have a Linux machine (Fedora Core 3) that is acting as a file server using Samba. We want to write backups from the SQL Agent for SQL Server to one of the shares on the Samba server. If I set the share to allow guest access, the SQL Agent can write the backups just fine using \\Shares\SQLBackups\pubs.bak but, if

Hi list, I encounter a problem again, which I thought resolved : when joining a domain, sometimes the workstation says it cannot join, or the domain does not exist, or something like that, because there is a DNS resolution probleme. I read the Micro$oft documentation listed in the error message (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/dns/tshoot/dns_tshoot2A.asp) I solved the problem, the

Hi, I am having a hard time figuring out how to have logon scripts that only execute if the user is a member of a certain group. I had the smart idea of putting the supplemental logon script in a share only available to the group, and then calling it from the normal logon script using "CALL "path_to_script". However it looks like it always executes that CALL even if the user

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

Dear all, I have build a Domain with to samba4 DC's. Everything works fine DNS Replication, User Replication, etc. Now I started to create a Logonscript. I doesn't reach to get the Logonscript automatcally loaded. The client doesn't load the DDP, doesn't load the GPO and doesn't load the logonscript individually in the user-setup by Remote Server Tools. When I start

Folks, We are in the process of purchasing new san/s that our mail server runs on (JES3). We have moved our mailstores to zfs and continue to have checksum errors -- they are corrected but this improves on the ufs inode errors that require system shutdown and fsck. So, I am recommending that we buy small jbods, do raidz2 and let zfs handle the raiding of these boxes. As we need more

Hi, I noticed that klibc started crashing on 64-bit MIPS and in my quest to fix the bug I got a bit carried away and fixed a few other things as well. Here are various miscellaneous MIPS patches, although the first patch is the important one. Thanks, James *** BLURB HERE *** James Cowgill (5): mips64: compile with -mno-abicalls mips: use -Ttext-segment when linking shared library

Tuning should not be done in general and Best practices should be followed. So get very much acquainted with this first : http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide Then if you must, this could soothe or sting : http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide So drive carefully. -r

I have Samba and about 40 WinXP Clientes running. Now I?m trying to find a way to deploy software (for example updates of E-Mail Client, Windows Patches) to my Clients. I was playing around with AutoIt and some "switch-user-tools" for windows, which really works but also is kind of complicated and time consuming. In my environment, every user got his own Logonscript on the Linuxserver

Hi Sambatistas, a few days ago there was a discussion, how to force jobs runas administrator at netlogon. If you use a default.bat at netlogon this is executed as the logon user , therefor you are running in rights problems if you wanna execute job which need admin right like regedit /s . I found myself in this problem too, pushing the user to use the logon screensaver as default, i created a reg
