Hi, I had to install a new Samba server (3.0.23b). Home dir and account were copied. I join a machine to the domain, but the stored profiles do not work. How can I debug that (in which log files)? I checked the usual suspect: permissions; they seem ok to me. Thanks, Marc Delisle

On some XP and win2K machines after logging in an error box appeared saying the the profile could not be loaded. There were no samba errors and after logging in with a temp profile the user could fully access all the files in their profile. It turns out that setting the following in the global settings fixed the problem for me: profile acls = yes John

Working your way through non-working roaming profiles can be daunting. The user's SID is stored inside the NTUSER.DAT file and if this does not match the one that is one your new system it simply will not work. In this case the book "Samba3 HOWTO and Reference Guide" provides information on how you can change the user SID inside the NTUSER.DAT file using the "profiles" tool. The two books can be obtained from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf There are a lot of things that can explain your problem. Often the best way to get over the hump is to follow a documented working example, then explore your non-working system step by step. Cheers, John T.
