win2k to redhat

(1/3) > >>

Stryker:
I hate the win2k server. I'm switching it to redhat 7.3 with samba 2.2. All goes well except I am needing to either have GPOs or poledit working for win2k and winxp clients. Does anyone here have any experience in deploying security to windows machine from samba?

voidmain:
I have done it for configuring proxy settings. It should work the same as it does on Win servers. Just place the policy files on a Samba share and configure the client to point to those policy files. Or am I missing something in your question?

Just did a search and would these links help?

I've read through those links, they mention gpedit, but they do not really say how samba can use it. By security i mean little things like disabling the run menu or disable the control panel and such. This would be done through poledit or gpedit. But I'm not sure how to go about setting it up for a samba server.

voidmain:
How do you set it up for a Win2k server? Unless I've missed something the policies are applied to the client, not the server, and those policies can be stored in policy files which reside on the server and pointed to by the client. In this case it doesn't matter if the server is Win2k or Samba, the client wouldn't know the difference.

I certainly could be missing something but that is the way I used to do it. If I am missing something it would help me greatly to get a detailed example of how you currently apply policies to your clients.

in win2k you'd open "domain users and computers" and right click on the list that holds the computers you wish to manage, then you'd go to properties, go to the second tab, and click on "group policy editor" and set it up. These settings are either applied during boot or during logon, depending on which you set. So the win2k server has to serve these somehow, i'd like samba to do the same.
