[Samba] SOLVED The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied.
I am not sure how it got fixed but now it works. I deleted the registry key, deleted, and deleted their roaming profile from their home directory. And all works now. ------Original Message------ From: Menders To: samba at lists.samba.org Subject: The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied. Sent: Jan 4, 2012 02:38 Hello all, Let give the background. We replaced our PDC with a new machine. Both old and new machines are running Debian 6.0 Squeeze and Samba 3.5.6. moved all data and user accounts to new server. New server has the exact same configuration files as the old server. All machines have been rejoined to the domain both WinXP and Win7. The WinXP machines work perfectly all domain users can login with their roaming profiles and all is good. However on the Win7 machines none of the network users can log in to the machine. Upon attempting you get the this error "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied." After Googling around for a solution I have attempted the following solutions: 1) Delete the roaming profile Machine recreates the roaming profile but denies login 2) Delete registry key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows NT>Current Version>Profilelist>[USERSKEY] Machine recreates the key but denies login 3) Both 1&2 at the same time Machine recreates the roaming profile and the key but denies login Any pointers would be greatly appreciated see smb.conf file below.
