Is there a tool you can use to control policies for windows xp machines on a samba domain? I would like to enable/disable windows updates without hitting each machine individually, but without a win server, I don't know how to do it. nathan -- -------------------------------------------------------------- PaysonLinux User Group Community Based Linux Support http://www.paysonlinux.org/ Business Consulting Services, Advanced Network and Server Design, Security Solutions, Process Management and Efficiency Consultations
