[Samba] machine policy?
Hello list, Is it possible to implement machine policies with Samba-3.0.x? Is so, how? I'm asking because I need to update registry settings and tz info for the computers on the domain, but the logon script is executed by the user (which doesn't have privileges to modify the registry entries nor date/time/tz configuration.)

RE: [Samba] machine policy?
If you have access to Poledit.exe from NT4, you can use it to create a default machine policy that will push registry settings out to all machines in the domain, or specific settings for specific machines, but not groups. The policy file should be stored at \\yourPDC\netlogon\NTconfig.pol Tony Hoover, Network Administrator KSU - Salina, College of Technology and Aviation (785) 826-2660 Don't Blend in... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norberto Bensa Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 6:43 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] machine policy?

Re: [Samba] machine policy?
however, Vista ignores NTConfig.POL, so for vista PCs you will need to use WPKG.

Quoting Adam Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED]: however, Vista ignores NTConfig.POL, so for vista PCs you will need to use WPKG. So, Samba only supports ntconfig.pol? Can't it run scripts besides logon script?

So, Samba only supports ntconfig.pol? No, not at all. Samba has nothing to do with NTConfig.Pol - but MS Windows NT, 2000 and XP Professional do support it. MS Windows Vista does not support it. Can't it run scripts besides logon script? Samba does not run the login script, the client does. You can run any Windows BAT or CMD file as the logon script. Now that I have said that Samba does not support NTConfig.Pol, and that it does not execute the logon script, it is necessary to correctly configure Samab so that the client can process them correctly. Suggest you follow the Samba3-ByExample book for examples on how to do that.
