similar to: copy existing users quick launch problem

Am in testing phase with just a few lucky users to go live with samba. However, I just had a thought. What happens when we eventually do vista? Seems like I may need to add %a to my path = statement, but it did not work. No profile was created for the user under the "windows version" directory.. Here's my testing smb.conf. Please have a look and see what I may need to do to

Using samba for the domain controller. Several users with roaming profiles experience error's with their vendor-supplied certificates when they change they're winxp password. The fix is to call the vendor and re-issue the certificate. Since policy dictates a quarterly password change, this is getting rather old.. :) Will the kb article below explain? Or am I totally off base here.

I have a samba server acting as a domain controller. Is there a way that I can Have a script that delete the shortcuts on the desktop,quicklaunch and startmenu for Internet Exploder. At the same time installing Mozilla Fire Fox. Maybe like a little vbscript or something that gets ran from the server when they login. Thanks

Hello all, Im Fran, and im from Spain. Im currently using an english book to setup my samba server, and im having problems understanding it. I explain my problem. I dont want to use root to join clients to the domain; i prefer creating a plain user. Ok, so, the steps i follow are: net groupmap add unixgroup=srvadmins ntgroup="Server Admins" net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain

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?

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

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.

Hi samba gurus, I have a successful install of samba/LDAP (on FC5) and am looking at applying security templates for different groups. I had this successfully working on my old RH9 box running samba (but not using LDAP). Using poledit, I created groups (sales, it, etc) that were the same as my linux groups, and created a Ntconfig.POL file. Referring to this article for use on poledit.exe and

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

Hello, We recently install a Samba PDC for linux and W2k clients. I don't find how to apply security policies editing with Poledit to users-groups defined by ldap organisation units. Policies are only working with default user and individual user. I see with poledit on the domain two groups named "domain users" or "admin users" but I don't understand what they are. I

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?

Hi, I'm trying to repair a remote system using the Live CD. I have VPN access to the subnet where it lives. An onsite person is booting from cd, and running a small script I provided to tweak the default firewall rule set to allow incoming ssh, and set a password for the centos user and start sshd so far so good I can remotely access the system. the problem is the live cd environment is

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

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

Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines using samba 3.2.3 ? In samba documentation in : http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html There is references to apply policies in NT/2000 Server and winxp clients, but it's not clear to me that will run fine or not using samba 3.2.3+winxp machines. If exist a way, How ? I was create a local policies using

Hi all, I am new to samba. I have created samba as PDC. I want to restrict users for changing settings. I have configured all client machines with XP. How can i use Group Policy with netlogon.

Am going thru the learning curve on using samba as a primary controller. Samba is up and running just fine. However, I'm a bit confused on the ntlogin.pol thing. I'm gathering, if all the workstations are winxp, I need to do this?? "Go to the Windows 200x/XP menu Start->Programs->Administrative Tools and select the MMC snap-in called Active Directory Users and Computers

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

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

Hey, Quick question. We run Samba 2.2.8, is there a version of Samba (2.2.x/3.x) that allows me to do the following : Go into Poledit, add a group that corresponds to a UNIX group (e.g. Staff) and set policies on it, having those policies apply to ANYONE in UNIX group 'staff' ? The samba server we have is the only PDC and have several NT4 servers as members only. Any thoughts? I
