NTconfig.POL shold be in the root of the NETLOGON share. The only tool that can create a usable NTConfig.POL file is the NT Group Policy Editor. I know that exists under NT4 Server. Not sure how to do this under Win2K but I will have the answer within a two weeks. Someone is working on a tool that allows this to be done from Linux/Unix. Additionally, your MS Windows NT/2K/XP clients must be full domain members, otherwise the client will not look for the NTConfig.POL file at all. That is, when you right click on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Properties, then 'Network ID' it should show that the machine is a member of your domain, not of a workgroup. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht at samba.org ============================================================================ ================== I am a full Domain member, using roaming profiles and the such. I have placed NTconfig.POL in the netlogon share. Samba never even shows it being searched for in the logs. I have the XP version of the policy editor, there is one for NT, 2000 and XP. This policy has been used in other Samba configurations and works as expected, this particular samba implementation never uses it for some reason.
