samba - Jun 2015 - (SOLVED ) you have been logged on with a temporary profile_win7, client+samba 4+WinServ2012

Hi

I got help from someone in the #Samba channel. It turned out that
my Samba Server (JIMMY) was not resolving. DNS was not aware of him.
So the suggestion was to use the "netbios name = JIMMY" in my smb.conf
and
in the user's "profile tab" enter the path using jimmy's IP.
\\IP\disk1\profs
That did the trick. Thank you everyone for your time and help.

Many thanks
Yanni

Sorry, but in my opinion, you have not solved the problem, you have 
worked around it. You seem to have dns problems, 'JIMMY' should be 
resolvable by hostname.

yes, agree Rowland, and he added 1 extra problem. 

Kerberos auth, does not work right if you dont use the hostname (best in fqdn )
for the server it may work, but other things maybe not.

for example, if you install also a squid proxy and you want to use kerberos
auth.
you must use the FQDN of the host in your browser to get it working.
and thats just 1 example. 

It better you fix your dns and setup correctly. 
and.. if you dont know how, just ask the list, you learn from it. ;-) 

Greetz,

Hi

Yes you are right it is a workaround but the reason is not resolvable at 
the moment is because Samba server is not registered in our DNS yet. I 
believe once a DNS entry is created, I will be able to use the name 
instead of the IP in the user's profile path.
