Hi, I think I have two questions - one which is samba and one which is windows policy files. I'll try to limit this question to the samba side but will give the full picture for completeness.
I'm trying to implement a simple policy to redirect a few simple folders (for starters). I have a policy file called NTConfig.POL that is available on my share \\wilson\netlogon (wilson is the name of the server running samba). I'll append its contents at the end of this email in case that's where my problem lies (although that's a windows question, so I don't expect an answer here). I don't have anything that mentions the policy file in my samba config, but according to http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html I don't need to (other than having NTConfig.POL readable at \\wilson\netlogon\NTPolicy.POL, which it is). I've seen lots of stuff that suggests I need special windows programs (that seem to only be available on NT or 2003) to edit these files, and then other pages (such as the link above) that say they are just text files. Is there a simple howto that I've missed on this? Thanks in advance for any tips. cheers dim CLASS USER CATEGORY "Custom Folder Redirection" KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" POLICY "Custom Internet Cookies Folder" PART "Path to User's Internet Cookies Folder" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT DEFAULT "Z:\Cookies" VALUENAME "Cookies" END PART END POLICY POLICY "Custom Internet Favorites Folder" PART "Path to User's Internet Favorites Folder" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT DEFAULT "Z:\Favorites" VALUENAME "Favorites" END PART END POLICY POLICY "Custom Internet History Folder" PART "Path to User's Internet History Folder" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT DEFAULT "Z:\History" VALUENAME "History" END PART END POLICY POLICY "Custom My Documents Folder" PART "Path to User's My Documents Folder" EDITTEXT REQUIRED EXPANDABLETEXT DEFAULT "Z:\Documents" VALUENAME "Personal" END PART END POLICY END CATEGORY ;Custom Folder Redirection -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
