Windows drive mapping via Samba based on group membership

Post #188,765 by broomberg 1/1/05 5:13:33 PM Reply	Windows drive mapping via Samba based on group membership I've got a Samba 3 serving as the domain controller. All users are defined in the OS. Some users (accounting dept) need an additional drive mapped on login. I can grant access in my smb.conf based on the group membership. My goal is for the login script to map the shares to drive letter, and only attempting to map accounting people to a particular drive. Is this a Windows batch file? Right now I have a default login batch file setup a couple of shares mapping to drives. Is there a way to test for group membership in this and map it? I recall doing this type of stuff on Novell but that used Novel specific scripting commands.

Then we put a logon script in the netlogon share that went something like this: \nTITLE Domain Login script\n net time \\FS1 /set /y\n net use h: /home\n net use g: \\FS1\\apps\n\n :a\n %logonserver%\\netlogon\\ifmember "teachers"\n if not errorlevel 1 goto quit\n net use f: \\fs1\\teachers\n goto quit\n\n :quit\n I haven't tried this with XP but you didn't mention what client OS you were using.

I mapped all the drive in the logon.bat, and they show up in the dir listings, BUT, the users not allowed in get permission denied when they attempt to access it. Perfectly acceptable. I just spent the day moving 50 workstations from a dual Win-NT (primary / backup domain / file / print ) server environment to a single linux (domain server, primary file) / single Win-2k (dedicated file - required by an application / printer server (too damn easy to give up as compared to Samba print config)). I'll spend a bit more time on the print server side when I have some free time to learn about it. I was wearing my Penguin Computing T-Shirt, the one where a giant Tux is stomping all over Redmond and saying "Good Evening Mr Gate. I'll be your server today". Seemed appropriate. Hey Greg: Thanks for pushing me to learn about ACLs. Came in very handy today.
