The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Samba and WinXP permissions

Asked by kannabis in Linux Networking

Tags: samba, profile, winxp, your

I am having a few problems that are driving me nuts.

I have a small LAN here at work consisting of a mix of win9x and XP work stations and a server with samba setup as a PDC.

The main programs that are being run are: ACT!, MS Office with Outlook as the mail client and Acrobat.

I have setup a few shares on the linux box so that if we need to update a file, it will only have to be done once and not go around every WS and change the file.  There are a few other shares setup for backup purposes and one so that we can keep the ACT! email attachments centralized.

I have tried to setup XP with roaming profiles, but have been unsuccessful.  I have ran the registry patch that comes with the latest version of samba and created the machine accounts, but to no avail.  I have given up on that project for now due to time constraints.  What I want to do is very basic.....you'd think.

Problem arises with ACT! and outlook.  Outlook on it's own works fine, but ACT! relies on outlook to send/receive email.  Due to some permissions it won't work properly according to this document: http://itdomino.saleslogix.com/act.nsf/206aa14021c9b916072569d50081789e/c25235c6be1bdce407256b1a0070b30d?OpenDocument

I have gone through step by step to no avail.  It won't even let me re-install the patch.  I keep getting the lovely "Contact your administrator" which is me btw.

I have setup the users in the adm group on the linux box, but that doesn't seem to work either.  

How do I allow the users to destroy their XP boxes with full access?  I am running TIGHT on time, so I gotta think of something, and this would probably work since XP complains about not having enough rights for this or that.  BTW in workgroup mode and on the Win9x stations this problem does not arise.  

Any ideas?
