I want to start a program with the event sheduler in windows 7 when samba establishes a connection for a network drive. I am not a windows guy. How do I do this?
Samba is a Linux thing - it is a pun on the Server Message Block protocol used by earlier versions of Windows. I suggest you read up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block and then get hold of some Windows API documentation. I suspect what you want to do is not easy (Microsoft do not want anybody to mess around with their code internals).DrDu said:I want to start a program with the event sheduler in windows 7 when samba establishes a connection for a network drive.

Samba is an open-source software that allows for file and print sharing between Linux and Windows operating systems. It needs to start in Windows 7 in order to facilitate communication and sharing between the two systems.
In order to schedule Samba to start when Windows 7 boots up, you can use the Task Scheduler tool. Simply create a new task, choose "When the computer starts" as the trigger, and specify the path to the Samba executable file as the action.
Yes, you can customize the schedule for when Samba starts in Windows 7 using the Task Scheduler tool. You can choose to start it at a specific time or on a recurring basis.
Yes, it is possible to set Samba to start only when a user logs in to Windows 7. You can do this by creating a new task in the Task Scheduler tool and selecting "When a specific user logs on" as the trigger.
If Samba does not start automatically in Windows 7, there may be an issue with the Task Scheduler or the path to the Samba executable file may be incorrect. You can try recreating the task in the Task Scheduler or checking the path to ensure it is correct.
