Topic: Change logon driver Z:\

[marcus75]

Hi everyone

I'm a newbie, I have installed SME 7 as a domain controller and I  do my login with winxp ;  I need to change the home driver mapped from Z: to G:

Can you help me?

thanks

Try "net use H: /home" at a command prompt.

If it does what you want, you can add it to your netlogon script.

If  it's possible,  I 'd like to change the default driver Z: directly from SME server because I have more than  one client.

I've  searched  in smb.conf,  but I didn’t  find  the solution .

Look into /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/netlogon.bat

[marcus75]

Stefan I don 't undestand it , because in my netlogon.bat there are only lines of comment

 

/home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/netlogon.bat

 

REM To set the time when clients logon to the domain:

REM net time \\servername /set /yes

REM

REM To map a home directory to drive h:

REM net use h: /home

 

So I' m searching a solution to change the Z:\ in G:\ without  changing  the netlogon. Is it possible ?

Simply modify your netlogon.bat to delete the z: drive

Code: [Select]

net /delete z:

and add the h: drive as home directory:

Code: [Select]

net use h: /home

Although I think it must be possible to specify it somewhere in some configuration file (my guess is somewhere in the samba configuration files).

I'm searching the file in the samba configuration to change Z : in  a different letter like G: or  H: or  similar

Although I think it must be possible to specify it somewhere in some configuration file (my guess is somewhere in the samba configuration files).

Found a better solution! Login to your console and issue the following statements:

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf
pico 11logonDrive

Enter the following line in the file to set h: as the default home drive:

Code: [Select]

logon drive = h:

Press Ctrl-X and answer yes to save it, and enter to confirm the filename.

Apply the new settings to the configuration file

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/smb.conf

Restart Samba

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc1.d/K35smb restart

Be sure that no other options for the chosen drive are set in the netlogon.bat file and try to logon on a Windows PC and see if it worked the way you would like.

Added a NFR for this option to have it available in Feature Releases of SMEServer: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1155

[Apply the new settings to the configuration file

expand-template /etc/smb.conf

Restart Samba

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc1.d/K35smb restart

unfotunally there are a problem in the first step because /etc/smb.conf don't exist.
I can't restart samba     I restart the server

Strange! I assume you are running SMEServer 7.0. Is that correct?

What does this command yield?

Code: [Select]

whereis smb.conf
Is the samba service enabled? You can verify that with the following commands:

Code: [Select]

db configuration getprop smb status

Code: [Select]

db configuration getprop smbd status
Is the samba deamon running?

Code: [Select]

ps x | grep smbd

whereis smb.conf

I use SMEServer 7.0 rc1

My smb.conf is in /etc/samba/smb.conf

My smb.conf is in /etc/samba/smb.conf

Strange I run 7.0rc1 as well (db configuration getprop sysconfig ReleaseVersion returns 7.0rc1) and my smb.conf is found on two locations (/etc/smb.conf and /etc/samba/smb.conf)

Then it can be that you will have to replace every occurence of 'etc/smb.conf' with '/etc/samba/smb.conf' to make it work, perhaps also the template-custom directory.

IIRC - The /etc/smb.conf was symlinked to /etc/samba/smb.conf and Since I cant rember which version they removed the symlinked (you can check bug tracker) So that's why if you install version sme 7.0rc1 you will only have one.
