Re: [Samba] Samba Windows 7 and logon scripts
I have spent a lot of time dealing with this, but I only briefly tried using the settings in smb.conf to accomplish this drive mapping. I have discovered that using group policy does work, but only if you're mapping the drives in a GPO that is applied to users, not computers. That is, the mappings work if you have all your users in some OU (mine is called people) that has some GPO (People_GP) linked to it. In People_GP, User Configuration-Preferences-Windows Settings-Drive Maps. I had mistakenly thought that settings in the User Configuration section of a GPO would apply to any user logging onto a machine which is part of the OU the GPO is linked with. I wish that were the case, but unfortunately it's not. I also had logon scripts working in the same People_GP (User Config-Administrative Templates-System-Logon). I never tried making those machine-specific. -Aaron On 9/10/2010 4:12 AM, Tony Molloy wrote: On Thursday 09 September 2010 18:11:38 c grassu wrote: You can try this.

[Samba] samba4 eventually stops working
I'm running samba4 from git (latest as of sep 1) on ubuntu 10.4. It's operating as a PDC, as well as hosting a shared drive. The last couple days I've noticed that my shared drives will appear as disconnected, and indeed trying to connect to the server times out. If I look on the server, there are many (50ish) samba processes all sitting there sleeping. If I use the init script to shutdown samba, one of those processes will remain. I need to kill -9 it to make it go away. Then I can restart samba and everything is happy again. I'm not sure what exactly causes it, but I suspect it has to do with my profile that syncs for a while, then starts giving errors in the event log of the network resource going away. So perhaps under the load of my profile sync something fails, hanging all the samba processes. My samba was configured with configure.developer, so I assume I have a lot of debugging available somehow, but I'm not even sure where to start.

Re: [Samba] samba 4 questions (status, roaming profiles, etc)
So I tried a new user, and it didn't work, so I debugged a little and discovered that I was missing a \ when I changed from setting the profile path per-user to setting it via group policy. After fixing that, my profile folders were automatically recreated on the server, and windows attempted to copy my local profile over. It copied a bunch of stuff, but started failing with a bunch of The specified network name is no longer available errors. When I logged back in I got the message telling me it was using my local copy, which is fine since the server copy is incomplete, but in the event viewer I saw this: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights. DETAIL - The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect. I have seen that command length error fairly often recently. I have no idea what causes it, and the web isn't being very helpful. I got the same error when opening the group policy management app just now.

I solved this by having foo.com resolve to the local IP internally, but I was wondering if there is some more elegant way to tell clients that the controller for FOO.COM is some arbitrary host for these purposes. Also, am I going to run into other pain by having a flat AD domain scheme? Creating a BAR.FOO.COM domain seems like it would be a pain at this point. 3) What is the status of printing in samba4? The most recent thing I could find online was from 2005 and said it wasn't implemented yet. All our printers are IP printers, and my goal is to have them automatically added to machines via group policy. 4) What's the deal with the Users and Computers sections of group policy objects? If I already have my users and computers separated into People and Machines groups in active directory, and have two group policy objects People_GP and Machines_GP applied to their respective groups, will settings in the Users section of Machines_GP apply to any user that logs in to a machine in the Machines group? 5) Where can I find all the smb.conf options that are actually valid for samba4? 6) I can't seem to edit the unix attributes for users in AD. I'd really like to be able to pull account information down via ldap on unix machines. Is this possible? Ok, I think that's enough for now. I really appreciate any help people can offer.
