similar to: different logon scripts and mappings for individual users

Hi Guys, Advise, I have 200 users, they all have access to 20 shares in different combinations. They all have their own netlogon scripts... its a management nightmare, is there a way to create a universal netlogon script that I can include all the shares to mount and it will silently fail on the ones it cant? Perhaps there is a smarter way to implement this idea, lynching is welcome, so is

maybe this is a simple fix but i really don't know how to fix it... it seems that i cannot run any net rpc commands... i wanted to see the members of Domain Users group so i did the following: root# net rpc group members "Domain Users" -Uroot%not24get and i got this error: Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 Connection failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED i can ping localhost

this may sound like a basic question but i'm not entirely sure how roaming profiles work so i'm not sure if i have it working properly. i created a local user account on a client machine and then joined that machine to the domain. i then logged in as domain administrator and copied the user profile from the local machine to the server. if i login with this user account (now the domain

i'm trying to do something which i thought would be simple but i am having a hard time finding information on this. i already have a samba pdc running and managing 17 windows xp clients. i have one linux client that i need to join to the domain. i don't want this client to share anything, i just want it to be on the domain. what does my smb.conf file need to look like??

section 13.3.2 of the HOWTO shows that i can add a user to a group with the following command: root# net rpc group addmem "MIDEARTH\Engineers" ajt -Uroot when i execute this command (replaced with my server specific values, of course), i get a NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER error. i can verify that my user DOES exist and that he belongs to the posix group account. i can also verify that the

os: debian etch 4.0 samba: 3.025c i am reading through the how-to (using samba 3rd ed), freely available btw at http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/sysadmin/samba/sambao3rd/ i am interested in setting up a samba pdc for a good dozen windows xp pro clients. (i somehow could not wake up from the windows 2003 sbs nightmare). i have been able to join my debian box to the local windows domain and

Is there a way to run a script on my samba PDC machine when a user logs in and logs out? Thanks in advance. -- Air conditioners and Computers are the same - they both crash when you open Windows.

i'm reading through the samba howto. section 6.2.3 (page 105) shows the add machine script as follows: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/nobody -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u i have a problem with the -M option. i cannot find this option in useradd's man page. can i assume this example is incorrect?? what would be a correct example???

Greetings, We have purchased an IBM BladeCenter and I am in the process of testing Linux installation on these things (boot off SAN i.e. qla2300 driver, not using internal drives). My distro of choice is Debian, however, since I'm really not interested in trying to hand compile all the drivers, I decided to try CentOS (which I'm so far very impressed with). On boot, as with the

hi, since I upgraded some winxp-pro sp2 client to sp3, my samba-shared printers are no-longer usable :-/ With sp3, if I run notepad and choose the men? File-Print, the "print" window hangs and does not show any printer for about 1 minute! The same thing happens when I click on the men? Start-settings-Printer and faxes. With sp2, everything works correctly and I can browse all my

I've been running a samba 3.0.28a PDC with XP clients for a while now. The setup has been working flawlessly. I'm considering upgrading some of the clients to Vista. Are there any known issues to Vista using this version of Samba that I should know about. I all need to do is join the Samba domain and connect to a few network shares.

I'm currently running samba as a primary domain controller on Ubuntu 8.04. I am going to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 onto a new hard drive and install that distribution's samba package. This will replace my current installation. I don't plan on changing the configuration file (smb.conf). The configuration file from my current samba installation will be copied to the new

Is there a file I can place in the netlogin directory (or anywhere else for that matter) that will represnet a logon script? I want to have my workstations auto-mount particular shares on the samba server, without the user having to make the mount. This way when I add new users, the shares are automatically present. If there is a script I can place somwehre, please tell me what it's name is

| yes, the exit code will be 1 if any of the flac files failed | testing, else 0 (i.e. if all of them passed). Thank you, Josh! Now the only trick is to see whether command.com can do anything with that information.

Good day to all, Gert Hulselmans requested a feature for MDISKCHK.COM that would function roughly like GETARGS.COM[1] by Murali Krishnan Ganapathy: DOS SET command output for MEMDISK kernel arguments passed by previous boot-loaders. He also needed to support the case for MEMDISK-in-a-MEMDISK type situations, where all MEMDISK kernel arguments could be gathered together and output as a list

Hi all, I''m looking at changing the operatingsystemrelease fact for Red Hat. Linux currently just uses the kernel release as the operating system release, but I''ve got a client who wants the release to have both the specific distro (e.g., AS or EL) and the release (e.g., 3 or 4). Will this particularly annoy anyone? Anyone want to help make the release string work on

Hi, as I wrote before: I'm not able to connect a Windows XP Pro notebook to a Samba 3.0.4 server. All the other machines (most Windows XP Pro, but also a few Windows 2000 and Windows 98) can connect without any problem. This one machine is not part of the NT domain because it needs to connect 1 or 2 times a week only, and is on the road most of the time. The machine could connect

Hello While searching the archives and googling for : -login script to map drives according to group membership I saw lots of complicated solutions (on-the-fly scripts, group directories) etc. but the following works very well for me: I downloade dthe ifmember.exe from the microsoft website, and stuck it in the netlogon directory (not the scripts directory)
