[Samba] Roaming profiles don't work properly on newly joined Windows clients
Hi all, We're a small charity and we've got a working and stable Debian 9 AD system using one Samba server (version 4.9.5-Debian) and 4 x Windows 10 Pro clients.? The server has two shared folders - "Profiles" for roaming profiles and "users" for user's home directories. We've just got delivery of two donated computers, and we got 2 new staff members.? I wiped the new computers, reinstalled Windows 10 Pro to build 1903, and connected them both to the AD server, they both connected to the domain fine.? I set up the account for the new staff member fine, and when I logged on to her new account, I immediately got the message that was something like "We couldn't set up the profile, so we've started a temporary profile which will be deleted on log-off".? While logged on as the new user, I'm able to create folders in both shares - \\192.168.0.17\Profiles and \\192.168.0.17\users fine.? I'm able to log on into my own existing profile, everything loaded fine, but when I logged off, I got something like "Unable to synchronize your profile to the server". I checked the computers we already are using and they work fine with the new and existing users and they have already upgraded themselves to build 1903 - it's only the new, recently joined computers that are unable to write profiles of existing and new users to the server.? Everything else works fine - I'm able to manage the server using the RSAT, logon & logoff fine, everything - just can't write profile to the server. I've followed the instructions on the Samba wiki with a fine toothcomb and can't find what I've missed - I'm sure it's something simple - I'm really hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong? Advice greatly appreciated in advance! With kind regards - Piers

Thanks for this reply! You're right, it's build 1903.? Unfortunately the Windows stand-alone installer just said "The update is not applicable to your computer."? I've double checked the build type (64bit) and it matches the machine's configuration. Many thanks! With kind regards - Piers On 04/10/2019 08:53, Marco Gaiarin wrote:> Mandi!
