mgb,
as jester pointed out to you before, there was a similar question around a month ago. He even gave you a link to this thread. There is clearly stated that SME does not support Active Directory membership at the moment.
Although I don't really understand your new question, except that you want help for installing something, I would advise you to read again this article, which you are referring to. The author uses a Windows 2003 Server as an Active Directory server. In the course of the article he explains how he got the different linux clients to authenticate against that windows server.

So what do you want to install on your SME Server?

 client xp 
server sme 7.4
i want to do schedule in sme-server 'send to change password to the client  (netlogin.bat)
i want to do : when client at login  to the sme-server
want to change password user 

schedule run for all user ?

[Stefano]

mgb, definitely we have a problem.. we can't understand you

BTW, to set password ageing, do:

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-password

and, please...  try to write in english

You're talking about the netlogon.bat
You can put a netlogon.bat in the netlogon share which can be found at

Code: [Select]

/home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon
Another way could be the smeserver-loginscript.
Don't know if this fits your needs.
Maybe that thread could be a help:

you can't, we can't..

And I believe it had something to do with one of the packages needing at least this amount of digits in a password, do not remember which package unfortunately.

PLEASE, use standard quote

no, it will not work, because SME's password validation routine REQUIRE min 7 char, and you are strongly advised NOT TO modify SME's code..

Thanks all for help nenonano

if sme 8b  work a Windows 2003 Server as an Active Directory server ?
(l chek least 6 characters password is work )

if sme 8b  work a Windows 2003 Server as an Active Directory server ?

I don't know.. you'd better check into bugzilla.. I know there is a project to move to ldap auth (and so to AD compatibility)
 

(l chek least 6 characters password is work )

if SME is a domain member auth then it is not responsable for passwords and auth.. so, if AD supports 6 digit passwords, it will work.

anyway, SME8 still needs at least 7 digit password
