similar to: NTConfig.POL ignored

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 have recently set up an small SAMBA network(just my server and a W2K SP4 Workstation). My Server is acting as a PDC. Everything seems to work flawlessly, users, roaming profiles, netlogon script, etc... But I cannot make this machine to read my NTConfig.pol file. I have it at my NETLOGON share [/srv/netlogon] with rwxr-xr-x permissions. I have tried with different filenames (NTConfig.POL,

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 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

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

I am running Samba 2.2.7a on SuSE 8.0 and all Windows/XP clients in a PDC configuration. All runs great except for one problem. I cannot get NTconfig.pol to be used. I have placed it in the netlogon share and read/execute permissions are wide open. I turn on samba loglevel=3 and I never see samba even try to look for NTconfig.pol, or any *.pol file. This occurs for all of my clients. Any

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

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

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

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

At one site I support, I have just recently put a policy file on their server to try and make some stuff easier to manage. Only problem is Windows is not even trying to load it. I watched the traffic in Wireshark, and there's no request for the ntconfig.pol file at all. And of course nothing from it is being applied. I had read that this can happen if someone has set the policy refresh

Hello, I installed two debian sarge servers with the following services: OPENLDAP, SAMBA 3.0, HEARTBEAT and DRBD. I used debian packages. The RAID over IP is used for the /data and /home partitions. I created a NTConfig.POL for my domain workstations and put it in /home/samba/netlogon. But when a user log on a machine, the policy is not applied. For details: # l /home/samba/ total 4

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

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 Everybody, Does anybody that have it working can give me a sample of what looks like a NTConfig.POL file that changes users passwords every 45 days. I?m using samba 3.0.10 with ldap backend. Any help will be appreciated. Thank?s Gustavo

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.

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

Hello, is there any tool that would dump a plain-text version of ntconfig.pol? Thanks in advance, Norberto

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
