Hi @all, I have some question I can't find a explanation. I have a standalone Samba3 as PDC. It works perfect with LDAP. Now I want to implement Policies. 1) Is it possible to use GPO from ads ? And if so, where to store this policies. 2) Or can I only use policies created with poledit from NT4 which should be stored in NETLOGON. Any help or links about this would be apreciated.

Hello, We recently install a Samba PDC for linux and W2k clients. I don't find how to apply security policies editing with Poledit to users-groups defined by ldap organisation units. Policies are only working with default user and individual user. I see with poledit on the domain two groups named "domain users" or "admin users" but I don't understand what they are. I

So only for old NT4 style PDC - BDC environment one needs poledit. While AD's (with virtual pdc role servers) can use the MMC.? We got a pure Samba AD environment and thus it should work. Be it that we might not have all mmc templates (not yet checked that). Thanks Viktor. -----Original message----- From: Viktor Trojanovic?<viktor at troja.ch> Sent: Wednesday 21st October 2020

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've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

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

Hey everyone, firstly thanks for your time, I've spent hours, a lot straight days too, for the last couple of weeks trying to solve this issue. The only thing (afai can see) I've got left is asking the experts and formatting all the machines and starting over, the latter of which I'm not interesting in doing because it doesn't solve the issue (well it might make the problem go

I'm creating a deploy plan, for strict client policies (to comply to ISO standards and security) For mixed win 7 enterprise and win 10 enterprise on a Samba Active Directory. On the lookout if Samba would be any different towards client policies. I did some googling, and got pointed to old samba articles of 2007: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Implementing_System_Policies_with_Samba

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

Hey, Quick question. We run Samba 2.2.8, is there a version of Samba (2.2.x/3.x) that allows me to do the following : Go into Poledit, add a group that corresponds to a UNIX group (e.g. Staff) and set policies on it, having those policies apply to ANYONE in UNIX group 'staff' ? The samba server we have is the only PDC and have several NT4 servers as members only. Any thoughts? I

We'd like to add an adm (administrative template) to our Samba4 server. I see where the .adm files are in the filesystem - /opt/s4/var/locks/sysvol/micore.us/Policies/{ED429C7D-156A-4F75-B21D-92DB8E10ACAB}/Adm/conf.adm - but how can I add a new ADM file? The ADM file in question allows the controlling of IE Favorites and a few other items on XP (not available in the default templates for

Using poledit and NTCONFIG.POL with Samba3 and XP workstations I was wondering if somebody could tell me how I can get line breaks to appear in the Logon Banner Text. I have tried /n and ~ so far but no luck Thanks, Amir

Hi samba gurus, I have a successful install of samba/LDAP (on FC5) and am looking at applying security templates for different groups. I had this successfully working on my old RH9 box running samba (but not using LDAP). Using poledit, I created groups (sales, it, etc) that were the same as my linux groups, and created a Ntconfig.POL file. Referring to this article for use on poledit.exe and

Well, samba 3 can't act as AD DC, so I guess the only way I can achieve this remotely is setting this in registry using a login script. How can I set this in registry? There Isn't something that automates the creation of scripts that change policies by registry?

Am going thru the learning curve on using samba as a primary controller. Samba is up and running just fine. However, I'm a bit confused on the ntlogin.pol thing. I'm gathering, if all the workstations are winxp, I need to do this??

Hi to all. I'm tring to make a linux server to act as a PDC using samba 3, using on the client Win XP. I have setted it and everythings is ok, but I have no idea of how to create policy file, so to restrict access on the client at the different user... It's possible to use poledit on Win XP? What can I use and how I have to write the smb.conf to realize it? Thanks to all.

Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines using samba 3.2.3 ? In samba documentation in : http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html There is references to apply policies in NT/2000 Server and winxp clients, but it's not clear to me that will run fine or not using samba 3.2.3+winxp machines. If exist a way, How ? I was create a local policies using

Hi I'm trying to aply policy to my domain users, but isn't working. I'm created a NTConfig.pol with poledit.exe (from WinNT service pack 4 (adminpak.msi)) and save on netlogon share.

Hello all, I am a new user of samba, that's look pretty cool. I use samba 3.x. There are only windows 2000 client(and 1 XP) in french language. I don't have any license of some server version like windows NT4 server, 2000 or 2003 server. One think i would like to do is setting the time of the windows 2000 client. I write in the "logon script" : net time /domain:mydomain
