Thanks Charles, I think you're right, what I'm trying to accomplish is probably better/easier with a Domain Controller. However, I'm surely brain-dead as I've tried to set the box up as a Domain Controller and although my Windows machine will login in to the domain it still won't run the script so I think I must be missing something. Domain Controllers are a completely new thing to me so it's no surprise I'm struggling :-(
If anyone has a simple example smb.conf file that does all this and any other hints I'd much appreciate it.

I'm trying real hard to understand why you wouldn't just set the server up as a proper domain controller... it makes stuff like this brain-dead easy... -- Best regards, Charles -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba ----------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
