Topic: SME Server 8 Win 7 logon drive

[stephdl]

I'm not afraid about it. i use windows and linux operanting system and i believe that's problems makes us more expert
i want to add another thing.
in the smb.conf file the default logon drive is Z: and in the netlogon.bat the default drive is H:.
to avoid to have two drive about the same phisical drive (Z: and H:), we need to change the two configuration file with the same drive letter (Z: or H:).
thanks to everybody

Tastiero i believe that you ought to raise a bug and to speak of this  in bugzilla, you can after that give here the url of your bug on your topic.
I'm not enough good to give advices on windows but It is a strong reality that SME Server must operate with this O.S

If something has to be modified in the documentation, a bug will be cloned to the documentation Team

Right, i think that in the http://wiki.contribs.org/Windows_7_Support the editors must add the wiki about my experience.
1)add win7samba.reg to win7 registry;
2)modify /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/netlogon.bat       (same drive letter of smb.conf)
3)modify /etc/samba/smb.conf                                             (same drive letter of netlogon.bat)

if you know how i can help the wiki, pls let me know
thanks

As you can see you are speaking to modify some core system of SME Server, so i prefer that a bug is created so after we can modified in the core system of SME to adjust the WIN7 behaviour as a standard process.....go ahead please.

If you want to be in the adventure of this open source project you are welcome Tastiero, as it is our works that it gives SME better we needs a lot of people involved....but in first keep in mind that all we want it's Fun

see this topic i have commented http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,50027.msg250853.html#msg250853 and this http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Volunteering

IIRC ,Windows (XP at least) default is to create a Z: drive for the special home folder.
If you prefer to use the sme server default of H: drive, then you can delete the Z: drive by putting the following as the last line in your netlogon.bat file
net use /delete Z: /yes

Or maybe you prefer it vice versa

In case it helps, you could consider the smeserver-loginscript contrib. I use it with XP and W7 clients on SME7 and SME8 servers and find it very useful. It gives you a new link on the server-manager page where you set the letter to map the home drive to and configure the drive mappings according to users, groups etc. You don't need to modify any files manually. If you're interested you can download the contrib from here:
