[Samba] WG: Samba PDC and big files

Fri Jun 25 00:36:35 MDT 2010

Hello,

If I understand it right you want to have the same Outlook profile for the
users
no matter on  which workstation they login?
The first thing all user must have the same Version of Outlook!!!!! And use
an IMAP SERVER
Then you must work with prf files for outlook for eauch user in your
netlogon path of samba
I am working with kixstart. On sigining in  each user get his pref file. You
can download files from
Microsoft.

Snipp of a prf-file outlook 2003, see section Account1 for settings.
Example, see Service1 for the
path of outlook.pst  on my samba:
PathToPersonalFolders=\\tuepropdc\%USERNAME%\outlook\%USERNAME%.pst

;Automatically generated PRF file from the Microsoft Office Customization
and Installation Wizard

My kixstart script to get the prfs and the location of the psts managed on
sign in writing values to the registry :

$prfloc='HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles'
 IF ReadValue($prfloc,'DefaultProfile')<>@USERID OR @ERROR
  COPY '\\tuepropdc\netlogon\scripts\@USERID.prf' 'C:\windows\temp\'
    $exe=ReadValue('HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\OUTLOOK.EXE','')
    $ver=SPLIT(GetFileVersion($exe),'.')[0]+'.0'
    IF $ver='10.0' OR $ver='11.0' ;(e.g. 10.0.2627.1) XP or 2003

$rc=DelValue('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\'+$ver+'\Outlook\Setup','First-
Run')

writevalue('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\'+$ver+'\Outlook','ForcePSTPath',
'\\tuepropdc\%username%\outlook','REG_SZ')

$rc=WriteValue('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\'+$ver+'\Outlook\Setup','Impo
rtPRF','C:\windows\temp\@USERID.prf','REG_SZ')
       IF $ver='10.0'

$rc=WriteValue('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\'+$ver+'\Outlook\IM','Enabled

       ENDIF
   ENDIF
 ENDIF

Other things you may want to do is to hold the Profile on the server without
copy to and from:
Look at this:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2582162

My kixkstart script:

;we redirect personal folder to the server

;we look at the registry if there isvalue that the folders has been
redirected
;zunächst gibt es diesen Eintrag schon?

$RETURNCODE=EXISTKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc")

;if not set it it in the registry

IF NOT $RETURNCODE=0
ADDKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc")

;now  if we set the above key we know it ist he first login and we set it.
Later on we will delete this key

ADDKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc\FIRST_LOGIN")
ENDIF

;now if it ist he first login we have to do something

$RETURNCODE=EXISTKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc\FIRST_LOGIN")

IF  $RETURNCODE=0
;geschachtelte Bedingung

$RETURNCODE=EXISTKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc\profile_copied")
IF NOT $RETURNCODE=0
;if there is a profile

IF EXIST("\\tpdc\@userID\@userID\profile")

copy "\\tpdc\@userID\@userID\profile\Eigene Dateien\*" "\\tpdc\@userID\" 

ENDIF
;nun setzen wir den hinweis das Eigene Dateien kopiert worden sind
ADDKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc\profile_copied")

;set the redirected shell folders in the registry

WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl
orer\Shell Folders","Personal","\\tpdc\@userID","REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl
orer\Shell Folders","My Pictures","\\tpdc\@userID\Meine Bilder","REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl
orer\Shell Folders","My Music","\\tpdc\@userID\Meine Musik","REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl
orer\Shell Folders","My Videos","\\tpdc\@userID\Meine Videos","REG_SZ")

WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl
orer\User Shell Folders","Personal","\\tpdc\@userID","REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl

WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Expl
orer\User Shell Folders","My Videos","\\tpdc\@userID\Meine Videos","REG_SZ")

;jetzt sollen Server profile nicht mehr lokal gecached werden 16.07.07 wird
über ntconfig.pol abgebildet
;$PFAD="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\"
;WRITEVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\","DeleteRoamingCache","0000000","REG_DWORD")

;schachtelung ende
ENDIF
;first login löschen

$RETURNVALUE=EXISTKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc\FIRST_LOGIN")
IF $RETURNVALUE=0
DELKEY("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\tpdc\FIRST_LOGIN")
ENDIF

For this to work you must have a policy for all your clients to not locally
cache profiles.

Happy trying

1. Do not store mail locally, you will lose mail if you do. Use a
central imap server for instance, it's also much easier for backups;

2. I set the user's desktop to readonly with cacls in the logon
scripts, problem solved (get yourself management's approval before you
try this, explain why it is necessary). If they do not want to listen
to you then ...

3. use folder redirection. This is harder to do in a pure samba 3
environment than in AD, but it is certainly doable. Soon, with samba 4
we will have all the group policy goodies :-)
