samba & netlogon problem

CarLost · 09-24-2004, 09:35 AM

Hi people....
I have a little problem

my users don't map any disk at all. The netlogon script is quite light, about 4 lines

some like:

net use F: /delete /yes
net use F: \\BIG-PC\share

and another stuff, but their don't map! If I use that commands in DOS windows and it works fine

I don't understand why!

You haven't given too much to go on but the thing that I would like to find out if I was in your shoes was whether the client computers (you haven't mentioned the OS) are actually running the logon script at all.

You can test this by placing a 'PAUSE' statement on a fresh line before your drive mapping command lines. If they run the logon script then they will hang with a DOS box displayed until a key is pressed. If this doesn't occur then they're not running the script anyway.

Sorry I could be any more help at the mo! :-)

Just done some research and it looks like you'll you need to edit your smb.conf file and add the following line to the global service :

logon script = <logon_script.bat>

This will only work if the Linux box is setup as the logon server.

For more info see the man pages for smb.conf.

Good Luck.

Also remember that the login script needs to be DOS formatted if you created it in vi. Just a thought.

Ok sorry..... I know..... is a short questions.......

I already do the pause thing, but is not working. Even I put son emu-wait command (@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 -w 1000 > null) but that, like the previous, don't work

the OS are almost win98 & some 95

and YES the line : logon script = startnet.bat ----> exist

the last th....... I write this with vi..... I'll try in dos format

Did you get this working? I have the same problem

antwoneeter · 09-14-2005, 10:06 PM

Do you have the logon script in the [netlogon] share?

I don't know if Win 9x boxes are that picky, but I'd try renaming the logon script to logon.bat.

i've got it working, i made the origional year11.bat in wondows, but made the mistake of editing the other ones in the linux editor, when i edited the files in XP notepad, and reloaded them, they worked fine.
