Ever since I upgraded Samba from 3.0.x to 3.4.x, and reconfigured it to support Windows 7 clients, I am having issues with roaming profiles on my Windows XP clients. All the machines have been rejoined to the domain, domain authentication appears to be working fine, the home drive is mounted ok, and the profile information is even read, but never updated upon logout. A user with no profile will

I've just edited smb.conf to make it a PDC on my SuSE 9.1 machine. I can add other machines to the domain but when I try to log on, I get the message "Windows cannot locate your roaming profile...blah blah" My config file is below. # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SuSE # Date:

This might be simple, but I have been banging my head against google for awhile now and not an answer in sight... Anyway, Samba PDC with roaming profiles.

Please CC me in replies as I am not subbed to the

I'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message:

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hello, I have a problem with Samba 2.2.5 and Win XP roaming profiles. All works fine. XP load the profile from the server at login and stores them on the server at log out. But if the user logs in twice, XP does not load the profile from the server, it uses its local profile also if the profile on the server is newer. After a reboot XP loads the server profile once again. If I disable local

Hello, I have a Samba 3.0.2a PDC that I have joined server Windows XP machines to. Joining the domain was painfully enough, but now I am having problems with roaming profiles. We initially thought the problem was intermittent, but we finally figured out that if the same user logs in again and again the roaming profile is found and login proceeds normally. When a second user attempts to

I have a number of XP clients which are configured to use roaming profiles stored on a samba server (samba v. 3.0.24, Debian etch). One client works perfectly, in that the roaming profile is always downloaded at login and uploaded immediately at logout. This is true for all users logging in on that client. Consequently I've no reason to suspect the samba configuration or permissions.

<expletive deleted> My roaming profiles keep "forgetting" they exist on my W2K boxen. It doesn't occur server-side, as other W2K clients log in fine. But, once one of the clients has forgotten about roaming profiles, it usually takes a re-install to make it remember them... and then, only temporarily. (Except on one machine that's worked fine from the get-go.) I even

Hello, My company has decided to upgrade everyone from win98 to winXP. So, I've begun the process of setting up a test network to test samba with winXP before the XP rollout begins. I downloaded samba-3.0b1 a couple weeks ago, compiled it, and started configuring it. For the most part everything has been a breeze. I have a winXP SP1a machine on the test network that currently sees

Hello, I'm having an "Access denied" issue using roaming profiles for Windows Vista Ultimate RTM (patched to current). The actual login is successful, the full name is set properly and the password is handled correctly, however only a temporary profile is created.
