Hi all, This is my first try on Samba as a PDC. I have managed to setup Samba as a PDC for my home network. The Win98 pc connects and validates no probs, but not the Win XP pc. The acc on the linux system has been created and is fine as well as the samba passwd's. The XP pc is 'changed' onto the domain with no errors, with the user name that will be used by the user to log on the domain. The Local security policies has been changed and the security patch (reg patch) has been applied. But when the user tries to logon using the setup credentials the following error messages are displayed by XP. Message 1. ---------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator. DETAIL - Access is denied. Meesage 2. ---------- Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. I have tried every trick that I know in the M$ world to try and fix it but no luck. I have tried adding the users to the root group in /ect/groups but this did not help either. I then used the XP wizard (hate it) to join to the domain again but this did not have the desired effect either. Can anybody help me ? Please tell me if you need more info etc. Please also find attached copies of the user log file (log.maartin) and samba log file (log.smbd) as well as my config (smb.conf) file. Please any help would be greatly appreciated, bear in mind that I am new 2 linux and have been using M$ for 13+ years now. Thanks, Cheers. Maartin.
