similar to: Samba support for ADM files

Hi all, Can anyone point me in the right direction to apply Group Policies from a Samba 3.0.26 PDC to my Windows XP and Vista clients. I read chapter 26 of the Samba manual (dated April 3 2003) and I was wondering if the NTConfig.POL file in the NETLOGON share is the way to go here? Regards, Joost.

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

Has anyone looked into creating custom templates for Microsoft's System Policy editor ? I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated. Does anyone know if it would be worth-while to take the time and create an updated Template to add policies to manage newer features of Windows 2000/XP through the NTConfig.POL

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

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 all, I am going to be in the process of updating my custom system policy templates (probably within a month or two) and I am asking for what policies anyone is in need of to help them deploy samba as a domain controller. Currently I basically have a single template.adm file, a few people have asked me to separate them into a few different files that would serve an overall single purpose - I

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

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

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 @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.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody, I maintain this Samba 3.6.6 PDC with ldap backend for 45 Windows 7 clients, with 92G of data in there profiles because things like itunes and other programs keep storing data in the roaming profiles causing very long start-up and shut-down times. I would like to switch to folder redirection (GPO) but I have not found any information

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

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, I'm using samba 3 as a domain controller. For some XP-pro laptops I would like to disable the firewall when they are logged in on our network (I don't like it but I have to). Is this possible with Windows policies ? If so, does someone know about good reading material about policies ? I do have "Mastering Windows XP professional" but that's absolutely no help. Thanks

Hello list, I am not sure if this is a bug or known already but I will describe it. I have two domain controllers running on 4.1.12/sernet which are linked together. I am using unison for bidirectional sync for the sysvol directory as described on samba's wiki, although in my opinion the problem I will describe in the following has nothing to do with the sync process. The sync occurs every

On a 32bit Windows 2008 Server guest VM on a CentOS 5 host, iometer reported a disk write speed of 37MB/s The same VM on a CentOS 6 host reported 0.3MB/s. i.e. The VM was unusable. Write performance in a CentOS 6 VM was also much worse, but it was usable. (See http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2012-August/002961.html) With iometer still running in the guest, I installed tuned on
