Windows 8.1 reached the end of Mainstream Support on [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/lifecycle/faq/windows#windows-81 January 9, 2018]; unless you purchase extended support, the only Microsoft-supported Windows version now is Windows 10. We strongly recommend you do not use versions of Windows unsupported by Microsoft.

Windows 8 was released in december 2012. Due to changes in the way that trust relationships are established with domain controllers, older versions of Samba (need at least 3.6.6) do not allow Windows 8 clients to log in once joined to a domain. see [[bugzilla:7172]]

In  order to have logon script working you must add the following Keys in registry
 +
 
 +
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 +
 +
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkProvider\HardenedPaths]
 +
"\\\\*\\netlogon"="RequireMutualAuthentication=0,RequireIntegrity=0,RequirePrivacy=0"
 +
 
 +
 
 +
If you are using SME Server as a domain controller and the workstations have joined the domain
 +
you can automate drive mapping and syncronise the PC time with the netlogon.bat file
 +
 
 +
Note: [[:SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter13#Workgroup |Chapter 13]] has a method for admin to edit the netlogon.bat file without using the command line. You can consider also the [[SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter7|chapter 7]] on Configuring the Computers on Your Network
   −
With certain networks you may have an issue with a slow login to the SME Server domain due to a timeout issue on the network. In this case you should install a second patch (in first you have to install the win8samba.reg). The history of this patch can be found at [[bugzilla:7332]]
+
nano -w /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/netlogon.bat
The version of package needed e-smith-samba-2.2.0-57.el5.sme is in smeupdates-testing but will shortly be by default in smeupdates so in the first instance verify your package version
     −
  rpm -qa e-smith-samba
+
  REM To set the time when clients logon to the domain:
  e-smith-samba-2.2.0-57.el5.sme
+
  net time \\servername /set /yes
 +
REM To map a home directory to drive h:
 +
net use h: /home /persistent:no
 +
net use j: \\servername\ibay1 /persistent:no
 +
net use p: \\servername\ibay2 /persistent:no
 +
if exist Z: net use Z: /del /yes
   −
You need at least this version as above, otherwise try this
+
and reset file to dos format
 +
unix2dos /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/netlogon.bat
   −
yum update --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing e-smith-samba
