I'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your loc...

Brian did you take a moment to think you should have a look at the Samba website. There you will find the official how to's - the ones that everyone should use instead of 3rd party crap.

...including step #10. I can use "rpcclient" and see the driver installed.

...he network? - Is there any way to force a batch file to run full-screen? (I tried "start" from within another batch file but that can only do a "maximized" window, not full-screen.) Thanks!

.... However, it semes that Samba is NOT substituting the "%u" in this case even though it was when LDAP was not in use. At least "logon path" and "logon home" are affected; maybe more. To verify, I manually changed every "%u" in the smb.conf file to "bcwhite" and then I can log on with my profile and home directory just fine. An okay solution for me, but the rest of my users might complain. Since my users are expecting to return tomorrow (after a long weekend) and use their WinXP machines, I'd appreciate it if someone can shed some light...

...show that the jobs are being held but do not state any reason why. What would cause the jobs of a few users to be held while others print immediately?
