i have no idea how to integrate policies in vista, but reg patches should be the same as in xp read http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/02/Templates/default.aspx?loc=en for the new admx format, formally known as adm ( which was compatible to a nt4 domain policies in netlogon share as NTConfig.POL with poledit or in local computer with mmc with the group policy snap in ) i dont think that your boss will have muc fun with vista in your samba domain at all, and its a failure to use m$ os before reaching service pack 1 level. There are known issuses with vista like slow copy renaming of files etc and it not very compatibile in drivers and software. - -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen Best Regards Robert Schetterer https://www.schetterer.org Munich/Bavaria/Germany -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGDXSdfGH2AvR16oERAjAhAKCNnK0I6lirwPLhvHoPVFFsPYrxBgCdG6oi pyyN2ZPBh5y60+ahq3Qof/c= =vzQb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
