similar to: Running a login script

I saw Active Directory a bit today and was impressed with the ease one can manage many Windows workstations with that. Especially I liked the software installation (too bad it can install MSI packages only) and the ability to run custom scripts on the workstations (when the boot up etc.). Is it possible to run a custom script for a given machine when it boots up (that is already joined to

I have compiled Samba 3.0.25a from source on a Solaris 10 machine. I had previously been testing Samba 3.0.24 (from packages on www.sunfreeware.com) and have reused the smb.conf file. Otherwise this is a clean setup, not an upgrade. The server is configured as a PDC for my domain "SAMBADOMAIN" I created a samba password for the local root and administrator accounts. I joined the

I run samba-3 as PDC for a small domain with 4 clients. User A should be allowed to login on all client machines, while logins for the privileged user B should be restricted to 2 machines for security reasons. Any ideas how to manage that? Suggestions for further reading would be highly appreciated? Hans Musil

We are using roaming profiles. I have a user that logs onto two computers that are in different buildings. Computer 1 is collections w/ default printer HP Laserjet 4000DTN (10.8.9.223) and Computer 2 is salesshop w/ default printer HP Laserjet 4100DTN (10.8.3.31).

Hi all, I've managed to install an ubuntu server as PDC, everything is working fine. However, i've got a few questions regarding profile ( M$ XP ) and unix accounts. 1. Roaming profile : I believed that when logging off a computer, user's profile was moved back to the server. But i can still find one. Is there anything to do for the profile not to be stored on pc ? 2. An account

Hi, On a linux server with CUPS, I installed Samba to share it with windows computers. I managed to share it with my Macbook on MacOS 10.4, with this address : | smb://login:password at name _of_server/name_of_printer| So I think my server is well configured. BUT I don't even see my network on a Windows 7 computer (I applied the Maybe it's because it thinks it's on a public

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

Hi all, I've got some problems with vista sp1 + samba 3.0.28a vista will not save the profiles nor load them. ! I'm all familiar with the .V2 thing. vista however does create the "profilename.V2" directory, but does not populate it with the data Xp machines work like a charm however. profiles path's are: \\<server>\profiles\testuser so the problem with the .V2 part is

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

I am trying to automate W7 joining to our Samba domain. It works fine through the Windows GUI from the W7 workstations. However, for a script one would have to store password used for domain access, and since that is the server's root password, I really don't want to hard code that into a file. Is there a way to set (temporarily) a Samba server so that it will accept (admin/anything) as

Hi Samba community, Last year we upgraded from version 3.0.10 to 3.0.20b and at the same time switch from NT-domain controller membership to AD membership. After this upgrade we began to experience that drives sometimes were not mapped. We saw this both on our Citrix servers and on our XP PCs. A couple of weeks back we then moved to 3.0.21b in the hope that this misbehaviour would
