Hello friends,
I am running Samba 3.0 on RHEL4 server. Around 200 roaming profiles are also
configured and they login to XP machines. Things are working for us except
in network rollout scenarios. We dont know how to roll out patches or some
global changes to all the profiles. We have to visit each and every profile
(loggin each of them) to do even the small changes. Today we have to map a
network share in all the profiles and we are stuck again.
I will appreciate if you can please suggest me something. I can script a
batch file to map the network drives. But dont know how my to automate this
at the logon for all the profiles.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Gigs

Have you ever tried a login script?
Kind regards,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I havn't tried login scripts. I can create a login script and put it under
the base netlogon path which is /var/samba/netlogon in my case. But my
question is what shoudl be the name of this script so that every profile can
grab it. Moreover what permissions should be set on it so that every profile
can run it.
Also regarding my logon script, my smb.conf fille says like this:
[GLOBAL]
.......
logon script = scripts\login.bat
......
[netlogon]
....
path= /var/samba/netlogon/%U
.....
Actually this configuration was designed by an earlier admin and I dont know
why he put that "script\login.bat". I dont see any directory called scripts
on the server. My question is, that what should I put here so that all my
profiles can catch this script and what permissions should be set for the
script?
Thanks in advance,
Gigs

Here's my logon script (edited... This is just for mapping drives. I have
others that get called from here also.)(XP clients. Domain Members)
The ifmember part is optional. It checks for group membership and only maps
the drives that the user needs, based on his group membership.
I have a mixed environment so far. Migrating from a peer to peer workgroup
to a domain. Machines that are part of the domain run this when a user logs
on.
No roaming profiles for me, though. Public is read only, so everyone gets
that mapped.
Ifmember.exe is part of the W2K (or later) server resource kit. Ifmember.exe
only exists in the netlogon share.
net time \\server /set /yes
:accts
\\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\acctsdep"
if not errorlevel 1 goto parts
net use j: \\server\accounts
arts
\\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\partsdept"
if not errorlevel 1 goto service
net use k: \\server\parts
:service
\\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\servicedept"
if not errorlevel 1 goto sales
net use s: \\server\service
:sales
\\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\salesdept"
if not errorlevel 1 goto hr
net use l: \\server\sales
:hr
\\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\hr"
if not errorlevel 1 goto public
net use m: \\server\hr
net use p: \\server\public
It's named logon.bat (you can name it whatever you want.)
It's in /var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts
My smb.conf says:
[GLOBAL]
.......
logon script = scripts\logon.bat (this has to match what you named the
above.)
......
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon (path=/var/samba/netlogon/%U would have
a subfolder with each user name, and you could build a script for each user)
public = no
writeable = no
browsable = no
Hope this helps.
Dennis

This definition is trying to be subtle by defining a per-user-netlogon share,
as %U expands to the session user name. Normally you will not want to do this,
so you will strip off the "/%U" and simply put your login scripts below
/var/samba/netlogon. (Permissions should of course be so that everyone can
read and only admins can write.)
The logon script parameter is a (windows) path relative to the netlogon
directory. There is no need to put those in a subdirectory. (Sou you can do
away with the "scripts\" part...) You should note that the logon script
parameter in the [global] section can be overridden by per-user-settings in ldap
(if you are using ldap).
Kind regards

Hi,
I dont have samba with LDAP.
I took out "\scripts\" part from logon script part in GLOBAL settings. ALso
I created a script for a particular test user (script name is same as login
name). I stored that script under /var/samba/netlogon/. Permissions were
also set so that this user can read/write/Execute, plus the ownership was
also changed.
I tried loggin as this user to test the script but nothing was mapped. I
think the script failed. Can you think of any reason? I even restarted my
samba services.
Thanks,

I haven't done this, so I don't really know.
If the script is named "user1", would windows know what to do with it?
Shouldn't it be "user1.bat"? (assuming it's a batch file.)
If so, shouldn't it say:
path= /var/samba/netlogon/%U.bat
In the netlogon section?
Again, I haven't tried it, so I'm just guessing....

Script is user1.bat with all the permissions. So Windows should know, but
nothing is happening.

Hi all, the share, subdirs and script have to be readable and executable
to the "guest" user.
The netlogon-share gets mapped by guest, not the user.
Then windows looks for the logonscript in there and if it can execute it
as guest.

Ups, forgot something:
with the script in /var/samba/netlogon and named like the user,
in smb.conf you need this:
[global]
......
#this path is relative to the root of the netlogon-share
logon script = %U.bat
......
[netlogon]
path= /var/samba/netlogon
