similar to: NTConfig.POL

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, Does anybody know if Samba is compadable with Vista Yet? If so, is there a way for a group pr user policy to allow samba users to things in windows vista, like install programs w/o admin access. I know Vista has policies that can do this, where it cna basicly grant the user access, witha prompt or w/o a prompt. Can Samba support this too?

I'm looking for an antivirus program for a Samba fileserver (PDC). Is ClamAV good enough? It seems to be mainly used for mail servers... Any other suggestion, free or non-free? I tried F-secure antivirus for linux servers but it keeps giving problems. All clients use F-secure which i centrally manage from another linux server which is pretty good imo. I read other people suggesting to use

All, Looks like I'm in a predicament. One of our new sites will prompt users (in IE) to display "mixed content". Which is basically asking if you want to display some http in a https site. I have found the solution, (besides having a user go into IE's tools / privacy / custom settings / enable mix content) - with a registry entry. However, the registry entry goes to:

Hello, i''ve an HP proliant dl385g2 server with AMD64 Opteron processor. i''ve rightly installed Debian Ecth and configured as Dom0.

Hi all, All clients are Win 7. How can I transmit rules defined in gpedit for users (for example forbid execution of regedit) to the Default User roaming profile? Is it done with a ntconfig.pol ? If yes, how can I make it ? Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

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

Hello, I have (had) poledit/NTConfig.pol working on rhel4 for one of the labs, it has winexit.scr and a custom adm that has worked fine. I have used the net rpc groupmap to map users and root. It doesn't appear the configuration is being picked up on some machines for the next lab. Even the base one . There is only Default User and Computer. Is there nt group related issues I should be

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, Has anyone actuall edited the ntconfig.pol file? I downloaded the tools user mgr and the other one as mentiond in the docs, but every time I modify a user, or anything the tools give me an error? Perhaps I have the permisions set improperly on [netlogon] or the file itself? What user do I need to be? Thanks, j. -- ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach .. PGP/GPG Public key at

Hi there, I'm using an inter-domain trust relationship (DOM-B trusted, DOM-A trusting, COMP-A=DOM-A computer member). It works as expected (ish), DOM-B users can logon onto DOM-A computers. I'd like to know if it is possible to force login scripts and ntconfig.pol to be read from the DOM-A pdc server, rather than from the DOM-B one ? My setup includes a samba trusted domain and several

Why would NTConfig.POL be ignored? I've got an Ubuntu server running a Samba (3.3.2) PDC. I've created NTConfig.POL as per www.pcc-services.com (on a Windows XP Pro machine, for a Windows XP Pro machine), and stuck it in the netlogon share, but it doesn't go. The XP machine can get at the netlogon share and is part of the domain. It can access other shares as well. I get nothing in

Did you join the domain *before* or *after* you installed sp2? Could you send me the netlogon

Hi, after setting up samba 2.2.3a as a PDC and connecting a few NT4- and W2k-Clients to the PDC (which worked fine without any problems), I tried to install a policy to redirect some folders in the user profiles. I used poledit to create a policy with modified 'Shell Folders' and 'User Shell Folders' keys and copied it to the netlogon share. This is where the problems started: The

Hi all, i am having trouble to get the ntconfig.pol read... I have a win2k sp3 client and a samba 2.2.7 server. I could join the domain and had no problem with profiles but can't get these policies workin... I searched over on the net and couldn't find anything to try. Anyone has a clue?? Here is the netlogon share in the smb.conf : [netlogon] comment =

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

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k

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, Just found this out - is it a bug which I should register or is this by design? We had been running a Samba 2.2 server for a few years with a domain called PSCT - everybody very happy (well done guys!). Installed a new server with Samba 3 based on Debian Etch. The new server was set as the domain PSCT2 to keep things clear. Copied all data across to the new server. The new server has

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
