[Samba] samba4 registry

[Mark Jas]

Hi Daniel,

 
My samba config (including printing) is working fine. But the printer driver needs one simple key in the registry for specific settings. I can change the registry on the samba4 server with regedit.exe from a windows domain member, or with the "net rpc registry import" command. But certain locations in the registry (and unfortunately, just the one I need) I cannot write to.

 
The question remains; how can I write data to those parts of the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\) where I need to add my printer specific options?

 
Thanks,

 
Mark

Hi Mark,
as I see you try to import a reg file !? The last documentation about
starting samba's registry is about first set up smb.conf as you want it to
function and all services are working for you,
then import on the linux box this smb.conf , with 
net conf import your.smb.conf. If you get errors concerning the printers it
is not supported this days. Then you have to go a mix of old smb.conf style
and registry.
If you succeeded with this open the registry connect with the remote
registry as user administrator  of the domain.
Then look at it how it is done in the registry.

Greetings
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

It doesn't make a difference it I have my samba config in the registry or in
smb.conf. Here's whats going wrong:

root at samba4-prn:~# net rpc registry import test.reg -U
TESTDOMAIN\\Administrator Enter TESTDOMAIN\Administrator's password:
dcerpc_winreg_CreateKey returned WERR_NOT_SUPPORTED createkey
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\nlvwprt10
\HPPresetRoot failed: WERR_NOT_SUPPORTED root at samba4-prn:~#


Mark

I think you did:

Smb.conf:
[global]
config backend=registry

restart samba 4
net registry enumerate HKLM/Software/Samba/smbconf

net conf list
net conf listshares
net conf drop
net conf delshare
net conf import

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Samba\smbconf is where the things go

Just do set a smb.conf as you would originaly then import it by

"net conf import your-smb.conf"

to see how things are working or if it is possible.

Thanks Daniel, but no luck.
For example, I can add values and change permissions on
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
But I cannot in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
