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 ?
There are a least two timeouts that I've found that can
affect domain logons
-- Roaming profile logon timeout: When a user with a
roaming profile attempts to logon to a Samba domain Windows
will display the Welcome screen for 30 seconds before
enabling the user's desktop. This bug does not affect Active
Directory logons. Setting the GPO below to 0 seconds will
work around this timeout.
\\Computer Configuration\Administrative
Templates\System\Set maximum wait time for the network if a
user has a roaming user profile or remote home directory
Set to: 0
-- Synchronous Logon script timeout: When the local
Computer GPO is set to "Run logon scripts synchronously"
Windows 7 displays the Welcome screen for 30 seconds before
enabling the user's desktop. NOTE: this bug may only be
extant in Windows 7 Professional, not Enterprise or may have
been addressed in service pack. Creating the following
REG_DWORD registry key will work around this bug:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\System\DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout
Set to: 00000001
There is also the solid color background bug (again, it may
have since been addressed in a service pack): Change the
background color to any .jpg image.
Thanks for that. After some tests I got it work.
- in smb.conf , the %a value for Windows 7 is "Vista" , right ?
Don't know. The %a switch hasn't worked in our shop for some
time. Windows 7 will tag the profile folder listed with a
.V2 extension or will expect a .V2 extension.
I was asking for the %a substitution in order to call the right script file
at logon .
For me , logon%a.cmd is substitued by logonVista.cmd . I assume it's ok.
- NT Default Profile no longer works with Windows 7 . I guess it is
normal , but is there a workaround ?
Default User profiles do work with Windows 7 and Samba. See
the article for Windows 7 default profile details:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973289
Thanks for the link. I will try the procedure.
- 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 ?
We create a local group policy that we copy from the server
via logon script at logon time. Works great for bot WinXP
and Windows 7.
How do you generate the policy file and how do you copy it from server to
client via logon script ?
XP was automaticaly loading ntconfig.pol (generated by the old poledit.exe)
in the netlogon directory , but what about Win 7 ?
Henri,
Yeah, since Vista ntconfig.pol does not work. We have a tool that
translates contents of ntconfig.pol (which essentially is a registry
hive) into local group policy - it feteches the .pol file from the
netlogon share and does the translation on the fly. I have not fully
tested it on windows 7 (since we moved to samba4) but it worked fine on
Windows XP. You are more than welcome to have it. Note that the script
only supports machine policy.
If you after proper group policy you should consider samba4
Regrds
Luk
Thanks for your help.
Henri
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.
Henri
