[Samba] Win98 policies,profiles and logon scripts

[joe.morin at dominiondiagnostics.com]

John,
      Do I need a machine account for this win98 machine? I have them
auto-created for Win2k and WinXP machines, but I haven't created one
manually, and it didn't get auto-created.

Thanks again,

Joseph Morin

Joe,

Looks OK. How are your Win98 configured?

1. In TCP/IP is WINS IP Addr. set to the IP Addr. of your samba server?

2. Have you installed the Client for Microsoft Networks?
             - configured it to 'Log onto Windows NT Domain'?
                         - set the correct domain name

3. Set the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' as the 'Primary Network Logon'?

4. Set the workgroup name (under 'Identification') to the same as your
domain name?
