Hi all, I've got some problems with vista sp1 + samba 3.0.28a
vista will not save the profiles nor load them. !
I'm all familiar with the .V2 thing.
vista however does create the "profilename.V2" directory, but does not
populate it with the data
Xp machines work like a charm however.
profiles path's are: \\<server>\profiles\testuser
so the problem with the .V2 part is not share related, coz they are a
dir in a share.
we do get logged in with a temp profile. so authentication works (little
slow do...)
do i need to alter the vista policy's or something ??
if i browse manually to the profile share, i will be able to create dirs
and files
----- smb.conf
[profiles]
path = /Jordanet/profiles
guest ok = yes
browseable = no
nt acl support = yes
csc policy = disable
read only =no
# create mode = 0600
# directory mode = 0700
# profile acls = yes
# writable = yes
# inherit permissions = no
# inherit acls = no
# nt acl support = no
# map acl inherit = No

Cheers, Collen

Unfortunatly Vista doesn't obey Netlogon\NTConfig.pol. you have to apply policies with other methods. -- Jean-Jacques Moulis Tel: (013) 281684 ISY Fax: (013) 139282 Link?ping University E-mail: jj@isy.liu.se 581 83 Link?ping

I'm having the same problem and I reported it to the list a while ago, but the only answers I got were like "it works for us, it should for you". (N.B. this is no flame). I though I was having some specific situation, since I was the only one who seemed to experience this; perhaps we could compare our setups and hope we can find something common which might be relevant.> Xp machines work like a charm however. > profiles path's are: \\<server>\profiles\testuserI have \\PDC\username as home dir and \\PDF\username\profile[.V2] there.> so the problem with the .V2 part is not share related, coz they are a > dir in a share.Same here. Vista creates the profile.v2 directory and permissions seem fine.> we do get logged in with a temp profile. so authentication works (little > slow do...)Auhtentication is not an issue here, since the user can access every share he should.> do i need to alter the vista policy's or something ??I tried every trick Google and the samba mailing lists could provide, but still no luck. I have: _ FreeBSD 6.2/i386 + samba 3.0.28,1 PDC; _ FreeBSD 6.3/amd64 + samba 3.0.28,1 BDC; _ replicated OpenLDAP backend; _ profiles in home dirs on PDC; _ more than 30 2000/XP professional machines running perfectly; _ 1 Vista Business laptop which refuse to roam profiles. Here's my PDC's smb.conf: [global] debug level = 1 passwd program=/usr/bin/passwd %u unix password sync=false workgroup = XXXXXXXX server string = xxxxx hosts allow = 192.168.xxx. 127. load printers = no max log size = 5000 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY interfaces = fxp0 192.168.xxx.1/24 local master = yes os level = 255 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon script=netlogon.cmd wins support = yes wins proxy = yes dns proxy = yes ldap admin dn="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ldap ssl=off ldap suffix=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx passdb backend=ldapsam_compat host msdfs = no [homes] writeable = yes follow symlinks=no browseable=no msdfs root = no [netlogon] path = /usr/local/etc/netlogon browseable=no follow symlinks=no ... bye & Thanks av. P.S. netlogon scripts works too.

Do you mean I should delete the user profile on the client??? (Obviously I should take a backup before, since this is the only copy I have). Then alter the registry to delete its SID? What then? Would Vista generate a new profile where I should restore the afore mentioned backup? Would it be roaming this time? Why? I mean, what has changed since it generated the current one? bye & Thanks av.
Hi,
My english is not very good, so french !
I had solve this problem, like this.
Vista or 2008 server, search share with the name profiles.V2. If it doesn't
existe Vista create in your $PATH/profiles your account $USER.V2, but dont
update it !
So I made it happy (vista) with :
smb.conf
....
[profiles.V2]
copy = profiles
So now in $PATH/profiles there is all my profiles for XP, Vista, and vista
doesn't cry any more !
