Thx for reading, Koen Linders Hi, Logon-scripts are one of the features of domain-logons. you can not get them easily from windows without logging into the domain. This is a windows-function, not a samba-thing. perhaps you would be able to emulate it with a script on every workstation that knows the domaincontroler, the share where the logonscripts are stored, and the user actualy logged in, and which is run for everyone logging localy on to the workstation. You'll have to write this script, distribute it to every wonrstation by hand and make shure it gets run. It is much less trouble to move the actualy used profiles into the domain, there are many howto's on this topic in the net, and ,afaik, even in the docs on samba.org Christoph -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Samba PDC windows XP logon scripts
I would really suggest using a domain, it greatly reduces management overheads and just generally makes life easier. It isn't too difficult to deal with swapping profiles and the like around. Last time I had to migrate about 80 machines I wrote a vb script to rename the machine, join it to the domain and migrate the local user profile to the domain user. I don't have a copy of it at the moment, but the basic parts of it are fairly well documented. Good luck. *Michael Heydon - IT Administrator * [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Koen Linders wrote: Server:Debian etch (kernel 2.6.18-4-686) Samba 3.0.24 (PDC) Workstations: Windows XP Pro SP2 fully updated I want to have my windows xp users to login locally to their machine, but still have them automaticly check the netlogon share or something like that to apply network mappings and policies per group or user.

Re: [Samba] Samba PDC windows XP
I'm sorry but at this moment I haven't received any useful information... A strange thing is that some times, especially to the morning when I power up my pc, it is connected correctly to the PDC domain!! Unfortunately this works only some time and I do not succeed to understand why...
