[Samba] samba upgrade 2.2.3 to 3.0.9 - profile not found
Hi, i'm working on a new maschine with Suse 9.3 and Samba 3.0.9 running. The system on the old Server is Suse 8.2 with Samba 2.2.3. Both sambas are running as PDC with roaming profiles. Both maschines and domains have identical sids. I installed Samba on the new server, configured it, copied some home directories including the profiles from the old maschine to the new server and added some clients to the domain for testing purpose. Up to here everything worked well. But when i try to log in as domainuser, the xp box complains that the serverside stored profile can't be found and that i'm logged in with a temporary profile. After some searching for the error, i found out that the problem is around the ntuser.dat which can't be loaded from the new samba. If i remove the old ntuser.dat, the xp box offers the ntuser.dat from the default user and everything works ok, but the content of the user's desktop is lost and i would have to restore the desktop of over 200 user... this can't be the solution. I read something about sambas profiles tool which can change the sids of the ntuser.dat from the old sid to the new sid. But isn't this sid user/group specific? How can i find out the old/new sid? If i run ' profiles ntuser.dat -v ' i get an endless list of entries of sids, and i don't know which one is the one to change... Thank you for your help, Mitch ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo! Mail - Jetzt mit 1GB Speicher kostenlos - Hier anmelden: http://mail.yahoo.de
