Re: [Samba] windows 7 cannot connect
Robert Adkins II skrev 2011-08-10 14:28: No, you do not need to turn off all of that on Windows 7. I have had no issues with connecting 7 different Windows 7 Professional workstations into my network. Most of the systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are joined to the domain. The only issue that I have had is joining the Windows 7 systems into the domain. I understand that it might be possible, but I haven't had the time to really dig into that. There might be some authentication elements within smb.conf to adjust to allow the Windows 7 systems to authenticate users on the network, but I may have made those adjustments quite some time ago in order to allow Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 to all join the domain in their various ways. All you need is to have the Windows 7 machines in the workgroup of the Domain or the workgroup, then create individual user accounts on the Windows 7 machines that mirror the account user IDs and passwords on the Samba server.

Favero Roger skrev: Hi all, that's my first post in this mailing list. I'm looking for a very special and strange samba configuration (at least from my point of view and my experience) and I'm not sure it is possible to reach this goal. Anyway, this is my request: I'm running a M$ Windows 2003 Serve as PDC with Active Directory and file server, and I would like to configure in a Linux machine a directory shared either from some domain's user or from some samba (only, not domain's user) users. In your opinion is it possible? This request is due to the need to let some files available to some external agents when they visit our offices, but I don't want to give them a Domain account to avoid let them able to browse others shares in the windows file server. So, if it is possible to set up a machine where I can authenticate either domain's user or not domain's user I solved my problem in a easy a clean way. Any idea about? If I understand you correctly, you just need a standalone Samba server? Only accounts that are *not* in your PDC will access it? If that's your goal, it's easy, just set up the Samba server as stand-alone, and do not join it in the domain. Then you manage all access on that Samba server locally.

Is it possible to send a pop-up message to all connected Windows stations in a whole domain via one command, or is it necessary to send one message per command to each station?

[Samba] Several logon script bat files?
I simply wonder if I can have several different logon script bat files for MS Win users that validates through my Samba PDC? Let's say that group "users" should have logon batch users.bat and the members of the group "sales" should have both users.bat and sales.bat executed at logon? Or can I in some way use ONE script with parameters that knows about what groups the user is a member of and execute the correct drive mappings on their Windows workstation?

[Samba] User access level.
Well, now everything seems to be in place for the big leap to Linux for file server and logon server. But there is one big catch that I can't find any info about. The default user level mappings in a Windows XP SP1 / Samba 2.2.5 PDC setting. Admin level is perfectly clear, but there is a group level "Domain Users", what is the corresponding Windows XP user level? Will the user be a "User" or "Privileged User" ? If it's the lower level, how can I enable the Priv. User level to be the active? The Samba PDC is running with roaming profiles, uses LDAP and is version 2.2.5 (alt. 2.2.8a). Upgrading to Samba3 isn't an option, due to its tight integration with the rest of my SuSE system. (SuSE Linux Standard Server 8).

[Samba] (Idiot outside) - smbprngenpdf printer driver?
Well, I wasn't really awake I guess.. It's just a script that calls GhostScript for pdf generation.. But the question still stands, what IS the best quality printer driver to use for GhostScript -> pdf printing? We need both colours and high resolution.. Hiya! Can anybody recommend what the best Windows XP printer driver is to generate pdf documents with the generator "smbprngenpdf" which is included in SuSE's smb-client package? Could it be the CUPS printer driver, or the Adobe? Or something completely different?

[Samba] Groups
I've noticed in the HOW-TO collection (for v3, unforunately..) that there is a command "net groupadd" to create group mappings for the Samba server to use when controlling users in the domain. Since my Samba is 2.2.8a, the net command doesn't exist on my system. Is there another utility to use to create NT groups (f.x. Power Users) that Samba can use in its PDC role?

No matter how I try, I can't get those Windows drivers in place on the Linux server. All that's there are the CUPS drivers, and they do download correctly.

[Samba] Samba / CUPS / Drivers
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to use different driver file downloads for different printers on the system? As of what I can see in all doc-files I can only use ONE set of drivers for all added printers? F.x. I have one printer that is handled by CUPS' PPD system, and one printer that uses RAW. So, the first printer (PPD) should have its feed in postscript format from the Windows clients, so they get the Adobe PS driver set by download when they add the printer to the system. But the second printer that should be fed by the Windows clients already processed stream, that is, they need the printer manufacturers native printer driver for Windows. So, they should NOT get the Adobe friver, but a different set. Is it doable? I run CUPS v1.2.0b1 and Samba 2.2.5.

I’m not sure if this even SHOULD work… I can’t find anything really useful in the documentation. I have a RedHat 7.3 system in the DMZ of our network, its address is 192.168.222.10, broadcast address is 192.168.222.255 I firewall, linux based with 3 ports, the 192.168.222.0 net (DMZ), the “outside world” on one port and the internal network is 192.168.111.0, broadcasting on 192.168.111.255. So, on the internal network are Windows XP workstations, these can “search computers” and find the linux on the DMZ by name, they can connect to it if given the network address or name (the name – network address translation is done in the Windows’ hosts files) and also browse the samba shares. BUT… Here’s the problem… The linux (Samba) server never shows up in the Windows’ Network neighbourhood, which would be very good for those who aren’t too familiar with networking. Can anyone please help me out here? Thank you, Anders.

I believe your broadcast addresses on the linux box are set wrong. If you are using 192.168.111.0/24 and 192.168.222.0/24 as your IP networks, you should be using 192.168.111.255 and 192.168.222.255 as your broadcast addresses respectively. This may be why the Windows machines aren't picking up NetBios broadcasts from the Samba server.
