similar to: Fwd: most common way to implement 'net time' privileges

Hello Samba People, it is my first letter to Samba ML, so first of all - thanks Samba team for a great SW. Now the question: I want to migrate from Win2003 AD to Samba 3.3.2. I want to use net vampire feature to import all account information (is there any other way to do it?). Net vampire works partly - in the direct meaning of this word - it is importing only 131 objects. How come? Full

Hello samba, I would like to ask about what is the most common and less effort way to let users change time without admin privileges on windows workstations. To be exact I'm trying to find out the quick and dirty way to sync time between win workstations (xp and vista) and PDC Samba 3.3.2. I do use net logon scripts and it is failing on net time \\pdc-server /set /yes command because of

Hello all, I'd like to know how to clear winbind cache. The problem is that we have decided to change uid and gid mapping range, but changing smb.conf accordingly didn't help. We use ldap as backend. After deleting all idmap entries in ldap nothing changed. If we disable winbindd caching with -n switch we receive desired effect - users get mapped to new uids and gids. Restarting winbindd

I'm getting a little closer and understanding how the logs, etc work. I can log onto a Samba share, can read and write to my home directory, but I'm concerned about trying to get the file share Staff to work - want it to be read and write to the Group named Staff. I have set up the group and added myself to the group If I do a smbldap-groupshow Staff - I get sudo smbldap-groupshow

Hi list, I need to run M$ Access Application from a Samba box for various users. They can add a register with a id to database. When a client add a register and print them, id increments and other user cannot add a register with same id (must use next id). Actually, when a user add a register with a id, other users register form shows this saved id (it not occurs in windows shares). Next id only

I'm trying to use smbclient to look at a Vista box but I keep getting: # smbclient -L user-pc -U Kellie Password: <Kellie's password> session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I know the user/password combination is good. I googled around and got the impression that Vista didn't play well with Samba because of some authentication protocol that Vista uses but I also got the

Dear all, could anyone approve if the issue windows 8 could not join a samba3 old style dot domain, ex.: "'example.com' would not join-- but 'example' join well!", is solved in any hack?

Hi all, After loading the GplPV drivers for Windows Server 2008, I wanted to get rid of the annoying F8 option when rebooting each time. I looked at Ready Driver Plus, which seemed to work, but was only a workaround. It also seemed to kill my terminal connection from Dom0. After some research, I found another way: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo Which will disable driver

A few months ago we bought a GIS software. It is running under Windows XP Pro. This software has stored its databases in dbf files, located on one samba share. Executables reside on each WinXP Pro client. The software simply uses dbf databases located on samba share. Each session of the gis opens about 500 files. I have four workstations that are allowed to run this software. [kirchner]

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 found the solution: I tried the srvmgr tool from microsoft to get connected to my samba 3 domain (from an XP client). And this tool told me the same "There is no PDC found for your domain. You may go on but but your rights may be Restricted." As I logged on I saw that both my PDC and BDC where BDCs. I stopped my BDC. Logged on to my PDC and remembering that I had also smbd4wins

I am setting up a domain with MDS and all works well in some offices, but in others I get domain not reachable errors when trying to logon. Could this be a bad switch?

Maybe I'm missing this - but I'm having problems setting up some file shares that are limited to certain groups. I've done countless searches on setups and on the tree connnect failed error message, and just haven't found anything that solves my problem. I am able to create shares that are basically open to the public, but I know the security is all messed up. I have openLDAP

Hello I would use a login script in a XP pro client SP3 and my samba server is samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5_3.1 (Cent OS 5.3) samba is configured as PDC and I use a ldap database for auth. All work fine, client is a part of domain and use remote profile stored in the server samba but the logon script didn't run. This is part of my smb.conf file workgroup = AMMINISTRAZIONE netbios

hello, I skipped Vista and was using WinXP on all clients until now. I deployed my policies using a file ntconfig.pol in the [netlogon]-share, but this does not work with win7 any more. How do you deploy your policies with Vista or Win7 ? I use recent samba 3.4.6 and hope there is some way. Every experience welcome. I think thousands of readers here might have similar problems somehow :) Even

Hello all, I use samba 2.0.5 in one of my machine and in other machine i use windows xp. This combination works perfectly when come into file sharing.

Hi, I want to input user name and password every time I access the share, so I want to disable password caching in windows client. I google to find there is a way to modify the windows registry. But it does not work on windows 2003. Is there another way to disable password caching in winXP, win7, 2003 and 2008?

samba version is 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 -- I created users on both samba and the linux system, and created 3 groups on the system. Each of these groups own a specific directory, the directory on the filesystem belongs to root.groupfoo. On my smb.conf I gave each of these groups write access to its directory (@groupfoo to the share /groupfoo). So now every linux user belonging to groupfoo can write

Hi all, I'm rather new to samba and trying to deploy a PDC/BDC Setup for our company. Got some books and the manpages here to help me :) The config-files are attached at the end of this mail. Used Samba is 3.2.7-11.6 on a SLES11 system. The PDC is running as ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC says testparm, the BDC as ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC. Both DCs use a LDAP (OpenLDAP 2.4.12-7) for user authentication. The LDAP
