similar to: turn off roaming profiles

I found a workaround for turning RP's off...Fist my reason. One of my Machines would constantly crash the server when it was transferring the Profile. Since I didn't know the exact cause, and since the user rarely logs on anywhere else, I decided to do away with them. I tried several methods, logon path sort of worked but also changed the Home directory regardless when I has logon home

Is there anything simple to turn them off? Normally I don't mind roaming profiles, but considering how large mine have a tendency to get, I'm not waiting an hour (exaggerated, but close enough) to log in. So, just wondering if there's anything simple to turn them off. I haven't been able to find anything looking through the various texts I've been reading. Now that I've

Sigh, here is me, trying to make a decent first impression of myself by providing as much information as I could, and then Outlook Expresses 'Send message later' option does something I didn't expect it to. So, here is the full message. Basically, as the subject says, I've found heaps of information on turning them on, but I don't particularly want them as my profile is quite

Greetings to everybody! Is there any way to turn off roaming profiles and use only local ones? In our company each of us connects to domain from its own workstation, so as I can see there's no need in roaming profiles. Why I'm asking such weird question? Because with roaming profiles Windows clients has readonly profiles! With Policy Editor I made HKEY_Local_Machine writeable,

Hey everyone. We have two offices accessing the same Samba server, which is a PDC and file server. The server is located in one of the offices, but the other office is only connected by a relatively slow link (1.5 megabit/s). I'm looking for a way to turn off roaming profiles only for those users which are at the remote site. (It's a tad inconvenient when it takes an hour or two to

Hello, I am using Samba on Linux as a CLIENT which is accessing Windows Server 2008 and I am trying to setup roaming profiles on the Linux/Samba client. My Linux distribution is openSUSE 11.3 RC1/Factory and YaST does a very good job at setting up Kerberos/Samba to join the domain. It all seems to work, except the Linux profile isn't synchronized back to the Windows domain server. I assume

Hey all, Relatively new to Samba configuration here - I've set up a system where XP clients can login and get their roaming profiles and all is well with that, but I see the synchronization which takes place on logout to be a big problem. So, I'm looking to turn off roaming profiles and instead go with remapping the documents, desktop and pictures folders to their server

I don't know if is relevant and maybe is the same as GPO that you've created, but Ive a profiles folder with this configuration: [profiles] path = /server/share/profiles read only = no browsable = no Other options are on my smb.conf global section so is the same as your configuration. Next I've changed the profile path on the user configuration instead use a

Hello, I have a shiny new RHES4 box running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E (as included in the Red Hat distribution) which is set up as a domain controller, using openLDAP and the IdealX scripts. User PCs are Windows 2000 and XP. We would like to avoid roaming profiles altogether, so we set "logon path =" and "logon home =" (with no argument to the right of the equals sign) in smb.conf.

Hello, I've just been exploring Samba again after some time, and this time I'm setting a Samba PDC with LDAP. Thanks for great tutorial from Samba website, I think I got it working fine :) However, I've been browsing the list too, and am a bit confused with the term: 'homedir' and 'roaming profiles'. Is it different? If I'm not mistaken, homedir is for Win9X

Thanks Darpha, I did that before i sent the mail. But my problem is strange..let me explain.. The computer existed before i installed the samba server..The user was using the login as 'administrator' user, and had alot of stuff. Later on i changed the 'administrator' login as the "user account name" say tom, on the server. Now he logs on into his machine(no samba till

hi ! thanks now I have my samba up and running fine. I have it configured as a PDC, and all the roaming profiles work, the management, etc. it's all fine. now, the client that I'm working for, told me ( after some days of making it all work ) that he sees that the use of roaming profiles in his network is useless. ok now, he says no roaming profiles ! I have searched around the network

Adding some more info... I've been studying the machine's log in SAMBA server, and what happens is the following: The services below are shares in SAMBA SERVER. first user loggin in: - connect to service netlogon initially as user dan2 - connect to service dan2 initially as user dan2 - connect to service admin initially as user dan2 - connect to service profiles initially as user dan2

I've created a folder for roaming profiles: [profiles] comment = Network Profiles Share path = /srv/samba/profiles browseable = No store dos attributes = Yes csc policy = disable map acl inherit = Yes read only = No vfs objects = acl_xattr Share permission and folder permission seems right, exactly as in: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Roaming_Windows_User_Profiles I've

Hi. When I turn on a NT4 box and log on a SAMBA 3.0.0 server, the roaming profile is correctly loaded. When I logout, the profile is also correctly saved back on the server. The problem begins when the next user (another user) logs in. Don't know who, but SAMBA or NT4 will load the last logged user profile. I.E.: i turn on a NT4 box, log in as 'daniel', log out, log in as

I am familiar with the contents of https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Windows_Profiles#Profile_share_using_POSIX_ACLs. Reading that given my set up (Samba-4.4.3_1 on FreeBSD10.3 and ZFS); and given that smbd -b | grep HAVE_LIBACL produces nothing; I infer that setting up roaming profiles using Windows ACLs are not going to work. I am correct? Which implies that I will have to use the

Hello everyone. I wanted to get some feedback and opinions from people regarding the use of Roaming profiles. originally, I was planning on using roaming profiles. However, I am starting to wonder if this is such a good idea. The reason is that, if I implement roaming profiles, there is a good chance that there will be network congestion as well as a lot of stress on the server. (50 users so

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

We have been directed to move off a SAMBA domain to a server 2003R2 domain. We run roaming profiles with samba and would like to continue this on 2003R2. After bringing all the XPSP3 desktops into the 2003R2 domain, roaming profiles wont work. I'm not even trying to use the SAMBA generated profiles. The error I get when logging on is: *Windows cannot locate the server copy of your
