Re: [Samba] help - logon script
I change from logon.exe that i put on every user directory which has script like this REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International] iTime=1 sTimeFormat=HH:mm:ss But when i try to login the time format doesn't change it still in 12 format, i've tried many times but still the same. Do you mean you included something like: regedit /s x:\path\to\set24.reg to your login script and it is not working? Did you try to run the line manualy to see if it works?

have you put that regedit4 data into a file and ran it with regedit /s time.reg in their login script? yudi shiddiq wrote: Hello everybody...

Is there any clue... I'm sorry if there is any mistake on my english.:) Thx Oooo yay a registry question. A few things to keep in mind, starting with the most obvious (some, I realize, you may already know...but I'm gonna paint with a wide brush). 1. The _CURRENT_USER hive of the registry is just that, per user. Changes to one user will not effect others. But when i try to login the time format doesn't change If you set the script ONLY for your users and then YOU login with your own account that does not have the script, then it makes sense that your time would not change. 2. You do not need to leave these changes in the logon script. Once the change is actually made for each user, it should stick. Once it is working you can leave it there for a few weeks (until everyone has logged in) and then remove it. 3. You can modify [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International] with your preferred settings, and all NEW users will inherit them in their HKCU. 4. Some settings in various versions of Windows are VERY hard to change via scripts. For example in WinXP, changing whether the Start menu hides, is locked, has quick launch, and etc is rather difficult. The reason is that Windows XP reads the settings into explorer.exe from the user's HKCU before your logon script can work, and writes them back at logoff; rendering scripts useless. (not to mention that all of those settings are globbed into one long binary string (50 characters or so) representing all of the settings). I just tested the time settings on my Win XP Pro system and manual changes seem to be retained, and the time format did change when I logged back on...just be aware that Windows may be working against you (depending on the version and what you are trying to change, etc). 5. You can mount a user's HKCU as a subkey of HKLM even when they are logged off. Open HKLM and go to File- load hive. Choose the user's ntuser.dat file (usually C:\documents and settings\USERNAME\ntuser.dat). This can be invaluable for investingating things or for changing settings like the ones I described in #4. (In fact, deciphering the long binary string for the start menu settings and writing a program to enumerate all the users, mount their ntuser.dat, and make the change when they are not logged in is the only way I've seen #4 done.) Other than that, try what others have suggested here. Make sure the time format is actually changing when you merge the .reg manually or manually edit the registry. Also note that there is the command line REG command that can be used to work with individual keys, should your command line merge method never work.

Vancl hi, what is this with copy etc, place you bat file ( must be written in dos editor ) in a netlogon share on samba , make it readable and it will executed, for sure you can create the scipt on the fly with perl as prexec to that share ( example in the samba source ) but after that ( if you have the right parameter in smb.conf the script will be executed by the win client automaticly no need for net use and copy it to the client ,after all some win versions need diffrent syntax with bat files honor them. i think your special failure depend on user rights on the win machine , xp as multiuser system want to have admin rights to execute your bat , check your event log Regards -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
