Hi, We are having a samba server running samba :2.2.3a The current version is above 3.0 The old samba server has roaming profile enabled and this is a major problem as there are GB's of emails and data downloaded to and from the server daily. a) How can I disable roaming profile and have the profile locally stored on the users machine ? How can I achieve this ? i) If the users are logged in and I disable the roaming profile the machine will try to write back the profile to the server. This may generate some error. ii) If the users are not logged in, they will not be able to download their emails and data and hence I cannot disable the roaming profile. How should I solve this issue ? b) What is the threshold as far as the number of machines/users on a server is concerned ? I now need to setup a new server with about 400 machines. Is there any statistical data available ? How many machines/users can Samba support and what precautions shoudl I take while setting up the new server ? c) What tests should I run before i deploy it in the network ? Any suggestions ? I have not worked on samba earlier. Kindly help. Regards, Vijay Kumar.
