Hi, I have upgraded to Samba 3.5.6 for Windows 7 Pro compatibility. I am in a test phase to evaluate the behavior of Windows 7 in a Samba PDC environment. I have one Samba server as a PDC with tdbsam backend (no LDAP at all), and I applied the reg and patch as described in the wiki. I have a couple of questions related to Windows 7 :
- opening a domain session on the Win7 client takes a long time. At least 40 seconds, while there is no delay on XP client. Is it a kown problem ? A bug ? What can be done to avoid such a delay ? - in smb.conf , the %a value for Windows 7 is "Vista" , right ? - NT Default Profile no longer works with Windows 7 . I guess it is normal , but is there a workaround ? - Same question for NT policies : I assume it is normal that windows 7 does not support NTconfig.pol files any longer. Nevertheless, is there a way to get the same features ? For these kind of functionality (having some control of user profiles on Win7 clients) , is AD the only and inescapable solution ? For my needs (200 domain users), NT domain was a sufficient solution and worked perfectly with XP. I am affraid that with Windows 7, I will have to move to something much more and unnecessarily complex :-( . Thanks in advance for your help.
