Hi All, Hopefully someone knows the answer to this? I have a RH 7.3 box running Samba 2.3a as a PDC for over 1 1/2 years now. Things are good for the most part, except some minor annoyances with the way windows (2k) is handling the roaming profiles. Maybe I need to alter the permissions for the users profile, any insight would be wonderful though. The profiles copied to the local box under "C:\Documents and Settings" are set with Administrators (the group) - full control, the user name (DOM\unix_user_name) - full control and System - full control. Now fairly frequently when the user logs on it appears that windows doesn't like the copy of the profile that is on the box already and creates another with a ".bak" extension, then ".DOM", then ".DOM01", ".DOM02" etc.. with multiple users on each box you can imagine how fast disk space is just consumed. The problem is that I cannot always delete the older profiles. What can I do, attached is my smb.conf, I would be thankful for any suggestions regarding this or anything else that may be problematic in my cfg.

I am having the exact same problem. Sorry I can't help but you're not alone on this one. Alex wrote:> Hi All, > > Hopefully someone knows the answer to this?

I also had this problem: First a little about it's cause, and then my
solution.
In my case my users were going to foreign language websites (primarily
chinese and portuguese) that were leaving temp files that were
undeletable. The file names on the temp files had either too many odd
characters or were too long, never found out for sure. These files
ended up in two places. one was Documents and
Settings\users-name\application data\Microsoft\office\recent files (if
they opened a word document from the web site); the other was
Documents and Settings\users-name\local settings\...\(directory for temp
IE files, [sorry doing this from memory]). In both cases the files were
undeletable even as administrator from gui, cmd line, even safe mode.
HOWEVER if you mount the administrative share of the drive
(\\machinename\c$) on a linux box you can delete it there. The key to
preventing was applying the registry settings on the machines
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DeleteRoamingCache to 1. (check out
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/tips/regtweak.asp)
This somehow hard deleted everything when the users logged out
preventing the problem from occuring.
