Topic: Samba 2.2.x XP login

[guestHH]

Hi all,

First of all, I wish you all the best for the comming 'Horse' year. May you all achieve the things you wish for.....

Now for the question;

We have a SMEV5 Standard install (upgraded from 4.1.2 upto update 3) .
We have a NT server as a PDC
We have different Ibays. (1 accessable to entire internet without password, rest only internal)
We gave mapped the Ibays via the netlogon.bat on the NT-PDC (net use tec..)
We updated to Samba 2.2.x following the 'official' How-To (www.myezserver.com)
And now....


We lost the mappings and access to the I-Bays... ???

If I want to use an I-Bay from a XP sttation wich worked very well before, I now am presented with a login, paasword window to access the I-Bay.

Any body have any idea why ??

Thanks in advance

*Anything* in the contributed HOWTO section of the e-smith.org site or from any other site is *NOT* official, and *NOT* supported by Mitel.  This is most important to realise.

Most of these HOWTOs include warnings that these are development changes only, as does the HOWTO you're referring to.

Samba 2.2.2 will be part of SMEv5.1 when it gets released.  If you need Mitel supported domain logins for Win2k/WinXP, you'll need to wait for this version to be released. (it's currently in beta testing)

This is not a correct statement.  SMEv5.1 cannot and will not fix the problem with Win XP and Samba 2.2.2.  The problem lies in the client machine.  To fix the problem requires modification to the WinXP client system registry.  

The current HowTo at myezserver.com is the best information currently available for getting Samba 2.2.2 working on an SME v5.0 machine..

Hi and thanks,

Rob,
I fully understand that the How-To is NOT OFFICIAL. That's why I placed the word official between brackets. I am testing V5.1 for different reasons and following the dev-list with interest.

Now for the for the SMEV5 with Samba 2.2.x <-> XP issue, this was my mistake... I forgot to set 1 registry setting to zero Sorry for the Noise.

Greg's hint made me check the registry again... Thanks Greg.

Enigma,

Here you are;

Windows 2000/XP Registry Settings

It is suggested that you check the following registry entries which should be set to (0).  This is the default under W2K (but check to confirm) however under XP the default is (1) and definitely needs changing:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Netlogon\Parameters]
"requirestrongkey"=dword:00000000
"requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\Netlogon\Parameters]
"requirestrongkey"=dword:00000000
"requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters]
"requirestrongkey"=dword:00000000
"requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000
