similar to: Samba/LDAP - using Poledit for security templates.

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 ). (Usrmgr was just wow..!) So at last i did a NTConfig.POL with poledit.exe for win xp serv Pack2 on the netlogon share. I used adm modified adm files and a other poledit cause system.adm

So only for old NT4 style PDC - BDC environment one needs poledit. While AD's (with virtual pdc role servers) can use the MMC.? We got a pure Samba AD environment and thus it should work. Be it that we might not have all mmc templates (not yet checked that). Thanks Viktor. -----Original message----- From: Viktor Trojanovic?<viktor at troja.ch> Sent: Wednesday 21st October 2020

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

I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

We are using a system running Red Hat Linux 7.0 with Samba 2.2.7a as our PDC. For the most part, we want to use roaming profiles, so that users' settings are backed up via the PDC, and are available if they need to change or reinstall their Windows desktop machine. However, there are a few Windows systems (running NT 4.0 or Windows 2000) for which we would like to be able to disable roaming

I have recently set up an small SAMBA network(just my server and a W2K SP4 Workstation). My Server is acting as a PDC. Everything seems to work flawlessly, users, roaming profiles, netlogon script, etc... But I cannot make this machine to read my NTConfig.pol file. I have it at my NETLOGON share [/srv/netlogon] with rwxr-xr-x permissions. I have tried with different filenames (NTConfig.POL,

I'm creating a deploy plan, for strict client policies (to comply to ISO standards and security) For mixed win 7 enterprise and win 10 enterprise on a Samba Active Directory. On the lookout if Samba would be any different towards client policies. I did some googling, and got pointed to old samba articles of 2007: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Implementing_System_Policies_with_Samba

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

Hello all, I am a new user of samba, that's look pretty cool. I use samba 3.x. There are only windows 2000 client(and 1 XP) in french language. I don't have any license of some server version like windows NT4 server, 2000 or 2003 server. One think i would like to do is setting the time of the windows 2000 client. I write in the "logon script" : net time /domain:mydomain

Using poledit and NTCONFIG.POL with Samba3 and XP workstations I was wondering if somebody could tell me how I can get line breaks to appear in the Logon Banner Text. I have tried /n and ~ so far but no luck Thanks, Amir

Hi, I have read that Windows 7 is using a new admx format and that it is not compatible with the old-school poledit. If I would like to stick with a Samba PDC, is there any elegant way to get Windows 7 client to obey the folder redirection(and possibly other rules) set using poledit & NTConfig.pol? I have been searching the mailing list, but there doesn't seems to be much detailed

Hello everybody!! I have a big network here with many machines with different operating systems (Linux, Windows 9x/2000/XP and FreeBSD). Currently all of them are authenticated by a Debian GNU/Linux server running SAMBA with LDAP. It works perfectly but I have some problems to block some features from Windows users. I'm looking for some tool to control the user rights around his own station

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?

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 @all, I have some question I can't find a explanation. I have a standalone Samba3 as PDC. It works perfect with LDAP. Now I want to implement Policies. 1) Is it possible to use GPO from ads ? And if so, where to store this policies. 2) Or can I only use policies created with poledit from NT4 which should be stored in NETLOGON. Any help or links about this would be apreciated.

Even if you are running an NT4 domain and manage a recent Windows client to join it, poledit based policies never applied to them, IIRC since Windows Vista (or 7) even that NT4 domains still worked at launch, the policies were ignored. > > While AD's (with

Hi I'm trying to aply policy to my domain users, but isn't working. I'm created a NTConfig.pol with poledit.exe (from WinNT service pack 4 (adminpak.msi)) and save on netlogon share. When client logon, nothing hapen. How can i check if policy is downloaded from server? What this could be? :( Samba: 3.0.20b-Debian Linux: Debian Client: Windows XP and SP2 ps: i couldn't find

Hi all, Can anyone point me in the right direction to apply Group Policies from a Samba 3.0.26 PDC to my Windows XP and Vista clients. I read chapter 26 of the Samba manual (dated April 3 2003) and I was wondering if the NTConfig.POL file in the NETLOGON share is the way to go here? Regards, Joost.

Hello all. I'm in the process of getting roaming profiles up and running on a RH 7.3 installation, running as a PDC on an 'NT Domain'. I've been reading the PROFILES.txt, and need to clear some things up. Do the rules that apply for WinNT, apply to Win2000, specifically the NTConfig.Pol file. If it does, I can't find it on either the samba server or the Win2000 machine,
