Hi there, I try to move our W2K Domain to samba. I managed to dump a list of the old users with its SID's and created them on the samba domain which has the same sid like the old W2k domain. Then the users should be able to use their old roaming profile without changing the profiles sid. This works if the computer which acesses the domain has already the profile on its disk. If the profile is not there, the default profile gets loaded and the profile on the samba server gets overwritten. It is the same for new computers without any user profile. The samba profile does not get loaded but the default one and whe closing the session the samba profile gets overwritten. If I use this default profile all works well or if the profile already exists I can work as exspected. If I delete the local Profile in c:\Documents and Settings\<username> and then log in once more, the default profile gets loaded instead of mine on the samba domain and my original gets overwritten. Does anybod know where the problem is or where i can get more information. If you need parts of the logfiles, just mail. Thanks in advance Florian
On your Samba server, have you set up the Profile Path for the user?

Hi Cleper, Cleber P. de Souza wrote:> On your Samba server, have you set up the Profile Path for the user?Yes of course. The profiles are working if I log in and log out and so on on the same WinXP machine. But, the Profiles are only working, until I delete the profile on the Win XP machine (as another user) or I log in on an Win XP machine where the profile is not yet loaded. Then the profile on the samba machine gets overwritten and a new "default" profile gets created. Any hints where I have to look to solve my problem? Thx Flo

Windows NT? 4.0 Profiles and Policies Troubleshooting User Profiles with the UserEnv.log File The UserEnv.log is an invaluable tool for troubleshooting the process of loading and unloading User Profiles. Each step in the User Profile process is recorded in the log, including informational and error-related messages. The checked version of the UserEnv.dll is the same dynamic link library (.dll) as the retail version, except that it contains debug flags that you can set and use with the kernel debugger. This file, which is included in both the Windows NT Device Driver Kit (DDK) and the Windows NT Software Development Kit (SDK), when used in conjunction with a registry entry, generates a log file that can be used in troubleshooting and debugging problems with roaming profiles and system policies on Windows NT 4.0 clients. To enable logging: 1. Rename the file UserEnv.dll in the %systemroot%\SYSTEM32 directory to UserEnv.old or to a unique name of your choice. 2. Copy the checked version of UserEnv.dll to the %systemroot%\SYSTEM32 directory of the client machine that you want to debug. The checked version of the UserEnv file must match the version of the operating system and Service Pack installed on the client computer. 3. Start REGEDT32 and locate the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \WindowsNT \CurrentVersion \Winlogon 4. Create a new value called UserEnvDebugLevel as a REG_DWORD type. Assign the hex value 10002. 5. Reboot the computer. Logging information will be recorded in the root directory of the C drive as UserEnv.log. You can use Notepad to view the log file. A sample log is provided next. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Achim, Achim Gottinger wrote:> Have you tried to debug whats going on on the winxp client during > profile load?yes I did this and found that it was a problem with casesensitive. There was an NTUSER.DAT and winxp wanted to read ntuser.dat After inserting case sensitive = No preserve case = No to the Profiles section in smb.conf everything now works as expected. Thx for your help. Flo
