Re: [Samba] Does active directory support include policy support

[Lasse Riis]

The workaround that I am using to solve this problem is done on each
client but it works.  I built the group policy settings I wanted on one
of the machines which is stored on the client machines under
windows\System32\GroupPolicy.  I made a copy of that directory and
then copy it onto the client machines that need the group policy
settings at build time.  A bit of a kludge, but it works like a charm.

Well making policies with gpedit.msc on the clients seem to enforce them 
for all users. I would like a setup where the strict policy is only 
applied for certain (one) users, so that admins still have complete 
control. Do I need a DC(Samba, Kerberos, LDAP, the works) for that

[Samba] Does active directory support include policy support

[Lasse Riis]

Well, a rather odd subject, but I couldn't really express it differently.
I would simply like to know if the active directory emulation of 
samba+openLDAP+kerberos or samba 3.0 includes support for policies.

I have a bunch of XP clients that I need to set some restrictions on. 
But it seems the days of config.pol files are over, so i need active 
directory support on my PDC. Having read several articles on active 
directory, I still don't understand it fully, but articles about setting 
up active directory on a samba pdc mentioned only partial support for 
active directory(only some features supported).

So before I start crashing our server with software and configuration, I 
would like to know if (group)policies are supported by active directory 
on samba. If this is the case, I'd also like to hear if anybody has a 
working setup of it, and maybe some links (I couldn't finde any) to 
howtos
