I am very new to Ubuntu/Linux/Samb and have very simple goals: Set up an Ubuntu Server as a Domain Controller to provide single signon for students using study center PC's. All of the PC's are Windows Vista Business.
I have successfully added a PC to the domain. I have successfully created a network user and logged on to the PC. However, the Samba log is throwing errors and I have a login script I would like to run that never runs. My smb.conf: [global] netbios name = PIUSERVER1 workgroup = PIUDOMAIN server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) dns proxy = no log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d encrypt passwords = true security=user username map = /usr/bin/smbpasswd 'logon script = /scripts/LoginScript.bat passdb backend = tdbsam 'passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://HTR.piudomain.com obey pam restrictions = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . 'pam password change = yes map to guest = bad user domain master = yes domain logins = yes local master = yes wins support = yes preferred master = yes os level = 255 [netlogon] 'path = /home/%u guest ok = no logon path = logon drive = logon home = logon script = /scripts/LoginScript.bat ############ Misc ############ I have no idea if the above smb.conf is good or not. The only information I have found is some from a book which has a chapter on setting up a Domain Controller. The book suggested the following parameter but it causes logon issues with it in the smb.conf: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://HTR.mydomain.com (and I did put my domain name in). When I log in my user, this shows up in the Samba log.

I is a case where I want to run the same script for every user. Please assume I know nothing. My background is all on the Windows side but I am trying to set up this Linux Server to be our Domain Controller instead of using Microsoft products. I know nothing about Unix, linux, and command lines give me a headache. I would appreciate any help you can give me but assume I know nothing. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Samba-login-errors-of-Vista-PC-to-Samba-DC-tp24930198p24930198.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
