hi all got a windows 2008 server using samba as a primary domain controller. also got terminal services on the windows box for remote desktops, got some clients set up with thinstation to automatically connect to the terminal server with rdesktop. got a problem with logging on and off, its taking about 2 minutes to log in, "please wait for the user profile service", time increases if theres lots of users trying to log on at the same time. has anyone had experience of this and can provide any assistance? does it sound like a samba problem or a windows problem?
Sounds like your terminal server is creating a new profile on each logon. Whats the profile path set too ? -----Original Message----- From: Evan Ingram <evan.ingram at cariss.co.uk> Sent: 29 April 2010 03:00 PM To: samba <samba at lists.samba.org> Subject: [Samba] please wait for the user profile service... hi all got a windows 2008 server using samba as a primary domain controller. also got terminal services on the windows box for remote desktops, got some clients set up with thinstation to automatically connect to the terminal server with rdesktop. got a problem with logging on and off, its taking about 2 minutes to log in, "please wait for the user profile service", time increases if theres lots of users trying to log on at the same time. has anyone had experience of this and can provide any assistance? does it sound like a samba problem or a windows problem? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Well the roaming profiles are copied to the host machine when a user logson and back again when they log off. You can use policy to redirect some of the profile folders like my doc desktop and app data live on the server to make the profile significantly smaller. Also enforcing deleting roaming profiles in policy will remove the profile at logoff too -----Original Message----- From: Evan Ingram <evan.ingram at cariss.co.uk> Sent: 12 May 2010 09:24 AM To: Damien Dye <damien.j.dye at googlemail.com> Cc: samba <samba at lists.samba.org> Subject: Re: [Samba] please wait for the user profile service...
