Hello, i must admit that i'm totally lost. After working a lot of hours my new samba server is still not running fine. I had read a lot of papers but i have no idea what's going wrong. My goal: --------- Samba 3.0.9 (Fedora Core 2) working as a PDC for windows 2000 professional client (with sp4 and all hotfixes applied) _with_ roaming user profiles. My status: ---------- *

Yesterday I moved my LAN domain from a W2K server to Samba and I have problems logging on to my WinNT 4 machine using local profiles. My boss's computer is a freshly installed W2K and it had no problem at all with the change. My computer is a WinNT4 SP 6 and when I tried to log on with my user it said it couldnt find the profile and logged me off immediately. I used to have a roaming

Does the following setup have any chance of ever working without to many problems? Our mix of ~ 40 workstations (win98se & xp pro) get the home drive mapped in the netlogon script when connecting into the domain for win9x net use h: \\linux\homes for win xp net use h: \\linux\homes /persistent:no relevant sections of our redhat 7.3 w/ samba 2.2.8 smb.conf are: [global] ;; server name

Although I've been using Samba with Linux and Windows 9x for some time, now I need to deal with integrating Windows 2000 workstations into the mix and I'm having a lot of aggravation with user profiles. I don't know if this trouble is specific to Samba or whether it's another "This behavior is by design" "feature" of Win2000. Windows 2000 has no apparent

Hi everyone, thanks to John Terpstra's hint (teh old thread started with Msg crn5v6$sh8$1@sea.gmane.org), our xp clients now do join the domain :-). However, they still fail to read user profiles which were created by the old Win98 clients. The relevant parts of smb.conf look like this: ---------------------------- begien smb.conf ---------------------------- [global] domain

Hi I'm finding it takes ages to download a roaming profile from the server when I log into Win2k or XP. A 4Mb profiles typically takes about 2 minutes (and 2 minutes to write back when I log out). I did a test and copied the profile directory from the server to my PC. Running under Win98 takes 1-2 minutes. Under 2K/XP it takes nearly 5 minutes. However, a single file of 4Mb only takes about

Migration of User Profiles Goal: Old machine with NT 4.0SP6 running as a primary domain controller (PDC) is to be replaced by a new Linux server running samba 2.2.7a. The samba version I used was a precompiled rpm package from SuSE.

Hi @all, I'm using version 2.2.3a (because the patch for printingproblems in 2.2.4 is not working for me) as a PDC for Win9x- and WinXP-Clients. I want to set up different profile directories for Win9x and WinXP. This seemed not a problem with logon home = \\%N\%U\profile_9x_me logon path = \\%N\%U\profile_nt_xp I have a client with Win98 and WinXP on it. If I log on first with WinXP and

Hi all, My name is Giuliano and I'm writing from Italy. I'm contacting you because I have a problem with "Roaming Profiles" with Windows 98. I use SuSE Professinal 8.2 I have upgraded the samba package from 2.2.7a to 2.2.8a. A) I have a private lan with these Microsoft clients: Windows98/Windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP6a/ Windows 2000 Server/Professional SP3/ Windows XP Pro

When exactly did the samba meaning/returns for "logon path" and "logon home" change? (at which version?) We used to have a system that appeared to be working well and it was as follows logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = h: logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile domain logons = Yes and the [profiles] share had the following [profiles]

Hi. When i want to share something on the win9x client, this client can't see a user list.

Hi all.. I'm using Samba 3.0.2a on Mandrake 10, serving +/- 50 win98 clients. I'm using this options: logon path = \\%N\%U\profile logon home = \\%N\%U\profile but the roaming profile seems do not working... at least the way that I want. (maybe this is the right behavior). What I want: -> When an user logins on MACHINE1 the profile that is saved in Linux begin download to

Hi List, (PS: I am not signed to list, please CC a mail to rajesh_ghanekar@yahoo.com ). I am using samba 3.0.1 as a primary domain controller with LDAP. I am able to do file sharing very well with user wise restriction. The problem is with printer. I have a HP1200 printer for which i have to do JOB accounting. All the jobs will be queued through samba. I have done setup so that the

Migrating Users Profiles When Changing Domain Affiliation: A Primer I. Introduction NOTE: This applies to Windows NT-based systems with locally-stored user profiles. Windows 9x and Me do not manage user profiles in the same way. Quite often we find the need to change a workstation's affiliation, either from a workgroup (that is, the workstation is not in a domain environment) to a domain,

Hello, I have a question about profiles setting on a second server. My first demo Samba PDC have the ip 192.168.0.98 class C And my second server have the ip 192.168.0.97 class C Can I configurate my profile path to my second linux Host ? eg. Mary logon with Win98 Client to the Samba PDC 192.168.0.98 and the user profile Win98 Client goes on the second Host with ip 192.168.0.97. Can someone

Hey, I'm sorry if this has been asked before or if a solution is in the archive, this is rather a semi-urgent request. We have a PDC (Samba 2.2.5) mostly with Win98 clients, a few XP clients. We can join these to the domain thanks to the registry patch, however, sometimes (it's random, or appears to be), we login a user who HASN'T previously logged into the XP system before and it

I am running Samba 2.2.3a and have my users logging into the 'samba domain'. My WinNT and WinXP users are working fine with roaming profiles and policies. My problem is my Win98 users. The logon script doesn't seem to be working, i.e. when I log onto a Win98 machine (logging into the domain), the logon script doesn't run. I have opened up the permissions to the logon script

Hi all, I'm having an odd error with Samba 2.2.5 and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a hand with it. About a month ago, I upgraded from Samba 2.2.1 to 2.2.5 on RedHat 7.2 and, since then, my Win98 users have been receiving "No such file or directory" errors during login. The upgrade was installed using John Terpstra's RH 7.2 RPM package. Users are set up with roaming

Hi, I'm working on a server that was upgraded a few weeks ago (Linux Mandriva was reinstalled with a more up-to-date Samba version which is 3.3.2). Now, roaming profiles no longer work. I even wonder what would be the proper to way to test them. Workstations are running Windows XP. I followed the procedure for Win2000/XP located here:
