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.

Hi all, I'm here again ith a non-strictly samba related problem, but I hope someone in the list has already faced and perhaps solved it... I've got a 60 clients network (most Windows 200 and XP) organized in a domain. The pdc and bdc run on Fedora 2 + samba 3.0.7-2.FC2 + openldap-2.1.29-1, and everything works fine. To limit the use of internet bandwidth I installed a Windows 2003

I have an NTConfig.POL I created from poledit with the Windows 2000 Administrator toolkit. It contains my WSUS configuration, and NTConfig.POL is placed in my [netlogon] share and is being loaded fine by the clients. Is this still the propery way to create NTConfig.POL files, or is there a newer utility I should be using? I'm looking at Vista and it uses .admx templates, which I guess

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 I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated.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

Hi Jerry ,hi Sambatsitas, yesterday i installed a brand new ldap smb pdc with latest smb sources ( all suse 9.2 ), and latest ldap scripts from idealx.( orginal source rpm ) All work fine ( as far i testet it ).

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 all, I am going to be in the process of updating my custom system policy templates (probably within a month or two) and I am asking for what policies anyone is in need of to help them deploy samba as a domain controller. Currently I basically have a single template.adm file, a few people have asked me to separate them into a few different files that would serve an overall single purpose - I

Hi, I have upgraded to Samba 3.5.6 for Windows 7 Pro compatibility. I am in a test phase to evaluate the behavior of Windows 7 in a Samba PDC environment. I have one Samba server as a PDC with tdbsam backend (no LDAP at all), and I applied the reg and patch as described in the wiki. I have a couple of questions related to Windows 7 : - opening a domain session on the Win7 client takes a

Is there a way to create an NTConfig.POL file without having access to an NT4, w2k or w2k3 server? Is there a way to do it in linux? Or a winxp/9x workstation?

This isn't technically a samba question, but I figure there will be other samba users out there in the same boat. I have just setup the first Vista box on our samba domain and I am having some trouble with policies (they don't get applied). I have had a look around and there is alot of talk about the adm->admx change, etc but I haven't seen anyone say that anything needs to

My original thread got taken off-topic and seems to not want to get back on-topic. Does anybody have any ideas about my question? Here's the original text of my question. Thanks for any help. Wine 0.9 installation. I installed Internet Explorer using the manual procedure in the applications database. I then changed the version reporting to Windows 2000 using winecfg and then went to

samba-3.0.6, win2k will all patches from windowsupdate as of last friday Should it be possible to join an AD domain (win2k) without a password on the client side if the machine is already created in the ou=Computers container? I seem to be unable to do this: either "net ads join" will ask for a password or it will try with the current user's kerberos ticket and fail if this user

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

Hello, I installed two debian sarge servers with the following services: OPENLDAP, SAMBA 3.0, HEARTBEAT and DRBD. I used debian packages. The RAID over IP is used for the /data and /home partitions. I created a NTConfig.POL for my domain workstations and put it in /home/samba/netlogon. But when a user log on a machine, the policy is not applied. For details: # l /home/samba/ total 4

I have a win2k domain ... 2 of the client machines are Red Hat (7.3 and 8.0). I set everything up to use the DC to authenticate ID/PW. Everything worked perfectly until a week or so ago ... Samba would automatically create a home folder and the whole nine yards. Now I can see the shares on the Samba machines, but I can't access them ... just prompts for the ID/PW over and over. I can mount

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
