Hi all, Just finished all of the "annoyance" issues with IE7 and started putting together an IE7 policy template for System Policy Editor. This is just a "beta" release I guess. Get it Here: http://files.pcc-services.com/files/samba/ie7beta1.adm Here is what I included so far: - Always Show Menu bar - Set Menubar to Top Position These two basically make IE7 look more

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 I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated.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, Just wanted to let you guys know that I put together a "High Level" Samba How-to that I believe is very informative for "Samba Beginners". I wrote it using Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server as part of a book I promised a few clients that I contract for - although I did write it in such a way that it can be used for virtually any GNU/Linux Distribution. I wrote

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 All, I just started really looking into deploying Vista in a Domain Environment and here is some info I gathered so far: With Vista, Microsoft Updated their "profiles" to version 2, thus Vista profiles will not co-exist with previous Windows profiles. To alleviate the need to specify a different profile for Vista, Microsoft decided to automatically add a ".V2" to the

Hi all. After set up a BDC, I found a weird problem on my log.nmbd file, the case is that my nmb (on BDC) is not able to connect to the local wins "server", just receive a time out . I set the wins support = yes which is the only mandatory parameter according to samba doc. I tried to shut down the firewall even. The log output is: === ....... === become_logon_server: Atempting

hi everyone, I observe a peculiar "behaviour" behaviour of nmb, peculiar to me at least, could be that "this is how it works", thus asking. If I add an IP on the iface that nmb is already operating then I see such a message: Samba name server GOER is now a local master browser for workgroup PRIV_NET on subnet 192.168.2.204 204 is that new IP, but then windows boxes do

nmbd is already running unfortnately... i can say that when running samba version 3.11 on Solaris it is working also with 3.23... ???? thanks for your suggestion tough ! /J > Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 15:59:17 +0700> From: garasi9@gmail.com> To: jflory@aeiconsultants.com> Subject: Re: [Samba] Re: can?t access share by name, but on ip> CC: samba@lists.samba.org> > Hi...>

I forgot to mention that using the smbclient option -A /etc/cred/authfile behaves the same way as attempting to manually enter the password on the command line; failing in 4.12.2 and working in 4.11.0 Thanks, Grant.

Hi all. I have had this apparently inconsistent behavior in smbclinet since, around 4.11.(6?). 4.11.0 seems fine. I am on fedora 31 so I have just been keeping smbclient at 4.11.0 but that is not an option in stock fedora 32 which I would like to use now. My main problem with it is that it seems to be stopping automount working on samba shares of Fed32 clients. Any suggestions welcome... This

Hi All, I've configured a Fedora 20 server with samba to share a few user directories and a printer. From a Windows 8 laptop, I am able to address the samba server by it's name (fs1) From a Fedora 20 client (ws1), I am able to address the samba server by IP address, but not by name. [gruss at ws1 ~]$ smbclient --version Version 4.1.15 [gruss at ws1 ~]$ smbclient -L 192.168.1.10

Sorry all, I think I attached the wrong files. Apologies for the noise. Correct files attached. again .. these are from the logfile on the server and were in the log file named 192.168.168.13.log 192.168.168.13 is the IP address of the test client orgonon that I have set up for this. I have cut two sections from the log and they start at the same point and seem to be the same until line 162;

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

Software: OS: Redhat 9 Samba Ver: Samba 3.0.0 (Plus excel writelock patch, waiting for 3.0.2!) OpenLDAP Ver: 2.0.27-8 Just a quick question about PDC / BDC interaction, my plan is to distribute Samba (with slave ldap backend) BDCs to remote facilities, as well as have one on each network segment in the hopes of avoiding unnecessary nmb broadcast traffic. My question is this: Will the PDC /

hello, I'd like to setup domain authentication purely based on Samba Domain Controllers. Each subnet would have its own BDC (with security = domain option), forwarding smb requests to the PDC (located on the backbone), ie authentication, shares.. My PDC is LDAP based, all that part is ok, win98 workstations successfully log into the PDC. I use idealx smbldap tools, that seem to work fine. I

Hello everybody! Still struggeling with my latest Samba setup, I've just run accross another problem which I can't figure out on my own. Samba is supposed to act as a WINS server (among other things) on a multihomed machine. (The Samba version is 3.5.1 as part of Debian Squeeze) Here's the [global] part of the samba setup: ----------------------------------- 8<

I have changed the IP address of 8 windows 2003 servers that were connected to a samba domain controller. The problem is that when one of the machines try to resolve the netbios name of one of the other machines it still returns the old IP address. I have tried to use the lmhosts file to resolve the name but the system wants to use WINS over the local files. I cannot find a way to remove
