[Samba] Roaming profiles shared between WinXP and Win7
Hi there I am setting up a PDC with Centos 5 + Samba 3.5.4 + Openldap with Roaming profiles using kixstart tools to mount shared folder and modifing some registry entries on windows workstations, The Roaming profiles works fine between Win2000 and WinXP. but when I tried to join a Win7 or Vista workstations i get mixed errors. Sometimes the profiles loads sometimes not, or loads badly misconfigured icons, etc. This is my config: [homes] root preexec = /root/bin/auto-create-home-samba.sh %u comment = Home Directories valid users = %u read only = No browseable = No -- auto-create-home-samba.sh -- #!/bin/bash if [ ! -e /home/$1 ]; then mkdir /home/$1 chown $1:"Domain Users" /home/$1 chmod 700 /home/$1 fi exit 0 -- auto-create-home-samba.sh -- [profiles] root preexec = /root/bin/samba-profile-fix.sh %u comment = Network Profiles Share path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = No profile acls = Yes create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 writable = yes browseable = No store dos attributes = Yes -- samba-profile-fix.sh -- #!/bin/bash if [ ! -e /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1.V2 ]; then ln -s /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1 /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1.V2 if [ ! -e /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1 ]; then mkdir /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1 chown -R $1:"Domain Users" /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1 setfacl -d -m u:$1:rwx /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1 chmod 700 /var/lib/samba/profiles/$1 fi fi exit 0 -- samba-profile-fix.sh -- [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon guest ok = Yes locking = No write list = admin, Administrador -- logon.kix -- BREAK OFF $ = SETTITLE("Domain Login") BIG COLOR G/N ?@DOMAIN ?

SetTime "\\PDC" USE Z: "\\PDC\GENERAL" USE P: "\\PDC\PUBLIO)" $AutoUpdateServer = "http://192.168.0.3/selfupdate" WriteValue("HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager", "DllName", "%SystemRoot%\Resources\themes\Windows Classic.theme","REG_SZ") WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", "Personal", "%USERPROFILE%\Mis documentos", "REG_EXPAND_SZ") WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", "Desktop", "%USERPROFILE%\Escritorio", "REG_EXPAND_SZ") WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", "Favorites", "%USERPROFILE%\Favoritos", "REG_EXPAND_SZ") ExistKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate") If @ERROR <> 0 AddKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate") EndIf ExistKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate") If $AutoUpdateServer<>"" If @ERROR <> 0 WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate", "WUServer",$AutoUpdateServer,"REG_SZ") WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate", "WUStatusServer",$AutoUpdateServer,"REG_SZ") EndIf EndIf --logon.kix-- The question how i can maintain the Windows configuration folders between Windows OSes without messing around too much with the Windows registry?. Its possible to detect which platform logs in and make it store some config files like NTUSER.dat and others to some specified location inside the profile so it doesn't overlaps between platforms ? Thanks for your help German

I also think that, starting with Vista, profiles directories/files are different, so I do not think a symlink is a good idea... JD
