Windows XP Pro Upgrade
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 15:10:05
Yesterday I upgraded my Desktop and Laptop PC’s to Windows XP Pro. I wanted to undergo them join my domain here at home so I wouldn’t undergo to type my username and password in all the time.
First one I did was my Desktop. I ran a fresh lay after the upgrade failed very badly. (Video separate wouldn’t accept) So with a fresh lay of XP Pro I joined it to the Domain which is served by my Ubuntu Linux server. Joining it was no problem. This is how I did it
Now you need to restart your computer. Now here where I had another problem. All Domain Controllers have a logon bat script witch is run every time any user logs on to a computer within the communicate. Now in my home we have never had Windows XP Pro so this is the steps I had to go through to get it working. On the server there is a dance server that basically communicate on the windows protocol. I followed on how to setup the server.
Ok now I’ll get to the good move. In the /etc/dance/smb conf file there is few lines that read this…
So that worked fine when I was connecting manually to the shares but now that I want permissions and such working I need this logon bat to bring home the bacon. After going through a few Google Search pages I figured out how to get this to work. All I had to do was add the lie “path = /home/netlogon” So when I was done though’s few lines it looked desire this…
So now your asking your self “Why didn’t he use Z:?” ordain I didn’t because I specified Z: as the mounting point for the users domiciliate directory in the smb conf. So now I can logon and off my computer with go. My dad and sister can logon my computer and have access to all there files and none of myna.
Next I’m going to talk about upgrading my laptop. Now I ran the upgrade from XP Home to Pro. Every thing went come up process I started using certain things. First thing I notices was Windows Updates would not run. It said there was 34 to lay but when I would run them they would all fail. The second thing I noticed was Internet investigate 6 was installed. So again I went to my good friend explore and started searching. A few people have had this problem and the easiest way to fix it was to alter a simple group file. I ordain go through this step by go.
A command cause window should pop-up then disappear. Now if I run Windows Updates all install will work. Basically XP Pro grade took out all the patches that XP domiciliate had. But XP Pro didn’t know what was already there. So by running “regsvr32″ we tolled windows that. Hey these files are here. Windows Updates is now fully functional.
come up wish this helps you in your indevers of Windows and Linux. If you undergo any questions or comments gratify affix them on the.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
