Hello! Ive just got the lovely job of converting and old Windows NT 4 fileserver to FreeBSD, ive set up samba before as a simple fileshare but this place requires roaming profile login from WinXP, Win98 and Win95 clients. My question is whether or not any of you people have any experience with this and might be able to give some tips on the way? I've tried fidling with it but i cant get my WinXP clients to logon to the domain :( I need all the help i can get :) regards Simon

I modifier the registry keys in XP workstations, but it still won't work. I wonder if it has anything to do with the localisation of the XP version? I'm using a French one.> I need all the help i can get :) > > regards > Simon >

well, first thing to know... is your Xp home or professional ? if is home, bad news, great troubles... if professional, try The Windows XP service pack 1, here at my network it has worked very well... but if is home... all logon scripts and profiles will be stored locally at the client side, no way to do different. another thing to do is to create a machine account on the samba side, just like an NT4 machine.

Hi! If done the same job, but i've replaced a novell server with a samba pdc based on SuSE Linux. I had different problems with Win XP Pro, but none with the other WinOS. Have you installed the "SignOrSeal"-Patch? Without this, you can't logon with a win xp machine on a samba domain. Use Google to find this patch.

well, just to let ya know my case, the first macine w/ xp pro i?ve installed here, i?ve tried everything (including the signorseal patch) and it didn?t worked out... just after the service pack... the second machine, i?ve just installed the service pack 1 and... voila! it joined the domain without need to run the signorseal patch...... i don?t know if someone had the same experience w/ XP ( just one litle detail... brazilian portuguese version...) but, anyway, try the patch!
