[K12OSN] Using NT Domain Accounts on Clients

[Josiah Ritchie]

I'm really supposed to be studying for my CCNA exam Mon... but as a 
quick answer you'll want to use security = domain, and the server entry 
to go with it, in the smb.conf file. This will point requests to your NT 
domain server.

Are you talking about windows boxes mounting user directories from the 
K12LTSP server? If so, that's a logon script thing. I think you have to 
create a share called netshare, place a batch script in there and do 
some other things.

That's mostly directions to start looking for now. Not real clear though 
cause I should be studying... :-)
