Samba Configuration policy

Samba is a Unix implementation of the Microsoft Windows network file system protocol (CIFS/SMB). Samba allows you to access Unix file systems from Windows and vice versa. The Samba Configuration policy allows you to set the options in the smb.conf file using Group Policy.

Samba Configuration policy settings are organized into four sections: global, homes, printers, and shares. A setting is either a global setting or a service setting.

Global settings are only specified in the global section. Global settings affect the general operation of Samba.

Service settings are specified in all sections. Only service settings can be specified in the homes, printers and shares sections. Service settings specified in the global group act as defaults for all sections.

For details on how to integrate Samba and Safeguard Authentication Services, see Knowledge Base article 316264.
