samba - Aug 2013 - Options for paid Samba (4) support

Hi,

After years of Samba 3 working great, we are trying to move a testing Samba
4 AD system into production and have been making progress, but keep hitting
show stoppers. (For example, roaming profiles with redirected folders
usually work for most users. However, some users consistently can't see
their profile on some machines, despite the profile and redirected folders
looking fine on the server.)

It occurred to me that after setting up a Samba 4 environment so many
times, we can now do it in minutes. I'm sure if the right person were
looking over our shoulder, they would spot our mistake. But a little
Googling hasn't turned up any options to buy that person's time.

The link to the support website (http://www.samba.org/samba/support.html)
in the Samba Guide is broken.

Surely, there must be some options to buy support. I must be looking in the
wrong place. I'd love to throw some money at the Samba community, and am in
a position to do so, but can't just donate... For that matter, I can't
find
a place where I could donate either.

Hi Mark, not trying to hijack the thread, but I can give you some roaming
profile tips in a new thread if you will create it. As for the paid
support, you might look into Sernet ( http://www.sernet.de/ ), I am not
sure of the extent of what they support and where, but I know they are one
option.
