All my w2k roaming profiles now refuse to load, complaining about not being able to load various files in the profile dir containing special chars. Things like Sendto\3>> floppy... or 3?floppy or 3||!!|floppy is displayed where it should be 3<ascii character for

This is off-topic so please let me know if it is inappropriate. I thought i'd post here as a lot of people on the list seem to be using samba with ms terminal server. I have profile problem ito roaming profiles from my samba dc not loading when you log onto w2k terminal server.

ok, I have Samba 2.2.0alpha2 (on RedHat 6.2) up and running as a PDC, I can add Win2k machines to the domain and the machine accounts are automatically created. (finally!) Now, my problem is when a user logs off the machine for the first time, their profile is created, BUT(!) it only makes rwx permissions for SOME of the directories in the profile, this is what I mean: [root@samba profile]# ls -l

I'm finding our employees' roaming profiles are not being updated. They were initially created correctly, they copy down onto a new machine, but updates are not put back onto the server. I've also noticed that smbstatus does not show any open dat files, such as ntuser.dat. I would have assumed that these files would have been held open while the client was connected. Employees can

Hello together, we try to setup a samba domain controller with LDAP and roaming profiles for Win7-Clients. Everything looks fine last Friday but today the clients did not longer save changes to the profiles. There is no error in samba log and also no in the windows log. If I delete a profile from a client it is loaded correctly at next logon, but the changes are not saved at logout. Windows XP

Is there any way to make samba use whatever the default charset was on samba 2.2.x (like 2.2.3?). I've just upgraded to samba 3 and just about every second file displays incorrectly on my windows clients and most of them refuse to open because of this. THis is causing absolute chaos to the point where I (an avid windows hater) am starting to look at reload all the servers in question with

Hello, After joining Windows 7 to a Samba 4 (AD), when logging on I experience 'Access denied' error accessing user profile. As a result, Windows creates temporary profile for the domain user (the profile is deleted upon logoff).

I am replacing a W2K AD server with a Samba server. The server has a single W2K Workstation client, in a public area and used by a dozen or so different users. When I join the workstation to the Samba domain, it complains that it cannot load a roaming profile (in the W2K AD domain, it used local profiles), and it does not create a new local profile, instead using a temporary profile. Obviously

Is there a way to disable Roaming Profiles on a Computer, with logon scripts or policy files? I have a network with W2K Workstation clients, but we also have a WinXP Pro computer that we must use and cannot install Win2K. I have read that using roaming profiles between different windows versions can cause problems. So I thought i could use login services from my PDC on that computer and avoid

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Hi, is it possible to create the user profiles by copying a template, change file ownership and modify the SID in NTUSER.DAT using the profile tool? We have many problems with broken profiles. This has become time consuming and frustrating - when a user experiences an error or weird behaviour of an application I can never be sure wether the cause is a "wrong user error", a broken

Hi list At the momtent I use samba as a pdc with tdbsam as passwd backend. I plan to use ldap and I already tried it out. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to disable roaming profiles.

Hello: I have a Redhat 7.3 samba server acting as a PDC and running samba 2.2.3a-13.

Every manual copy way that I have tried thus far has failed miserably. Thanks, A Cline
