[Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts
I am running Samba 2.2.3a and have my users logging into the 'samba domain'. My WinNT and WinXP users are working fine with roaming profiles and policies. My problem is my Win98 users. The logon script doesn't seem to be working, i.e. when I log onto a Win98 machine (logging into the domain), the logon script doesn't run. I have opened up the permissions to the logon script (for testing) and that doesn't seem to help, it's still not running. Also, I have implemented a domain policy to 'exclude directories in roaming profiles', namely temporary internet files, cookies, etc. This policy works fine for WinNT but doesn't seem to work for Win98, is this a 'feature' of WinNT and not Win98? I did create separate policies for WinNT (ntconfig.POL) and Win98 (config.POL). Other settings within the policy ARE working, for example, restricting the screen saver tab on the display.

Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts
Hi Jesse, I didn't get the 'group' policies working. All my users will have the same policy applied, so I just used the default user policy (for both Win2k and WinXP). I did notice a difference between Win2k and WinXP profiles though. I use a different 'default' profile for Win2k and WinXP. I'd love to get group policies working, but right now it's not an issue for me. When I try to add a group to the policy, all I see is the domain admin group, I haven't tried using it in a policy though. Sorry I couldn't offer more info.

Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts
Yes, I'm using the ntconfig.POL for XP users. by 'default' I'm referring to the default profile for new users. I use the copy facility to copy a default profile on top of the new users (local) profile on their machine, then log on as that user and log out (which copies the 'new' profile) to the server. I would have used the 'default user' profile (placed in the netlogon share), but I've noticed a few differences between Win2K and WinXP so I do it manually instead.

I have tried both the 'Quick Logon' and 'Logon and restore network connections'. 3. Set the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' as the 'Primary Network Logon'? - Yes 4. Set the workgroup name (under 'Identification') to the same as your domain name? - Yes FYI, System is Win98 Second edition. Also, in a command window using 'net use' I can see \\sambaserver\username \\sambaserver\NETLOGON but neither are mapped to a drive. I can also manually map drives using the net use command.

Win9X/Me do NOT have full domain security capabilities and thus can not play as a fully secured domain member. Samba applies to MS Windows XP Home edition. Windows 9X/Me can use the network logon capability, MS Windows XP Home Edition apparently can't use the network logon facility. You can use the Windows 95/98 Group Policy Editor (on the Win98 CD under \tools\reskit\poledit) for 95/98/Me to set them so that the user can not get past the logon screen unless authenticated to a network logon server (NT Domain). - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts
John, Thanks for the help! It's working! In my logon script for Win2K users I had a line something like this: NET USE H:\\server\%username% And this wouldn't run in win98. Changing it to what you suggested: NET USE H:/HOME works just fine. I have the NET TIME command running successfully in win98 also. I do have a question about the permissions required to set the system time on Win2k and WinXP though... Exactly WHAT permissions need to be set? And is this a registry edit? I don't see where this can be configured using the poledit.exe to create a domain policy.

Do you have statements in your logon script to attache them? If so, what are they? You should have somethings like: net use h: /Delete net use h: \\server\homes /yes The above \\server\homes implies of course your samba server's name, and the 'homes' info automatically translates to the users' homedir. Alternatively you could do: net use h: /D net use H: /HOME You might also like to forcibly close the netlogon connection by: net \\server\netlogon /D And set your workstation time clock by: net time \\server /set /yes PS: For this to work on NT/2K/XP you need to set appropriate security settings as administrator on the workstation. I also see a 'Windows NT logon script' popup window at logon, a command window also pops up but immediately closes and I cannot see any of the commands (if any) that are being executed. Well, this means that your logon script is being run. If you want to see the commands that have been executed you need to put a pause statement in the logon script. That way you get to hit enter to close the logon box - and thus you can see what the output of your commands was. - John T. thank you for all the help.
