[Samba] roaming profile not uploaded correctly when logging out for the first time
I have a strange issue with roaming profiles. It only happens for users which has no roaming profile on a Samba server yet. When a user logs out for the first time, some files can't be copied from: C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo\ to a profiles directory on the server. (Files like 31/2Floppy(A).lnk, some *.tmp files etc.). Only very rarely, a first-time logout process happens without any problems. Second and any later logouts are without problems. I found another reference on the list: lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2002-December/057885.html "When user logoff it appear Windows cannot copy file C:\Documents and Settingsd\user\SendTo\31/2Floppy(A).lnk to location \\192.168.0.1\domain\profiles\user\SendTo\3 1/2 Floppy(A).lnk. Contact your network administrator Are there someone found like me?" Is it a Windows problem, or Samba problem? I'm using Samba 3.0.24. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

[Samba] roaming profile not uploaded correctly when logging out for the first time
I experienced this same issue and it turned out to be a permissions problem in the windows client. I had copied some files from the users old machine profile to their new domain profile and then logged out. It complained that it could not write to the roaming profile. I went back into the account, in your case it would be C:\Documents and Settingsd\user\SendTo\31/2Floppy(A).lnk and right click the file and go to Sharing and Security. You need to make sure the domain user has read write access to that file. After I changed the permissions, logout was successful. *Jason Baker */IT Coordinator/ *Glastender Inc.* 5400 North Michigan Road Saginaw, Michigan 48604 USA 800.748.0423 Phone: 989.752.4275 ext. 228 Fax: 989.752.4444 www.glastender.com <http://www.glastender.com> -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GIT$ d- s: a C++$ LU+++$ P+ L++>L++++ !E--- W+++ N o?
