similar to: roaming profiles will not load at times...Samba as PDC

Hello, I'm running Samba Version 3.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. I'm using Samba as the Primary Domain Controller. Things that work: - Clients can logon - I can run logon scripts - Roaming profiles are created for new users on logon However, when I try to logon again with the same user, I invariably get this error message: "Your roaming profile is not available. You are logged on

<expletive deleted> My roaming profiles keep "forgetting" they exist on my W2K boxen. It doesn't occur server-side, as other W2K clients log in fine. But, once one of the clients has forgotten about roaming profiles, it usually takes a re-install to make it remember them... and then, only temporarily. (Except on one machine that's worked fine from the get-go.) I even

Since years I have a Suse Samba PDC running with Win2000 and WinXP clients. Now I tried to add 2 Win7 clients and I'm having a problem. Win7 don't load my roaming profiles, Win7 always logged in to a domain user using a temporary profile. First I upgrades to Samba 3.4.2 (Suse 11.2), than I set the registry entries according Samba wiki: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 Now I was

Hey All.. I've been trying to track down the source of this problem for some time now and am hoping that someone may have seen this in the past... I picked up a system that has Samba V. 2.2.8a, acting as a PDC and serving roaming profiles to Two Windows 2K Terminal Servers running SP4. However, as a user attempts to login for the first time, the PDC authenticates the user and attempts to

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

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. I used the smbldap tools. First there is the question if I should use add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" with the -a (is a Windows User) option. If I don't, then windows account

Hi, i have a LDAP Master / Slave setup, but my roaming profiles are lying on the PDC. Whats the best method to keep the profiles in sync? Or should i use another FileServer for the profiles? what do i have to check in smb.conf for having profiles on a different machine? do i also need to move the netlogon dir? cheers juergen

Hello, I'm having an "Access denied" issue using roaming profiles for Windows Vista Ultimate RTM (patched to current). The actual login is successful, the full name is set properly and the password is handled correctly, however only a temporary profile is created. The interesting thing is that all else being the same, I do not encounter the same issue for Windows XP roaming

Hi all, we have implemented a scenario with samba as a PDC, running version 2.2.4, and clients windows XP boxes. The scenario calls for roaming profiles, and mobility in general. We have a problem with microsoft outlook, which saves the settings locally, and thus every student has to visit all lab pcs in order to have his detailed entered before he can use outlook. Has anybody implemented

I have a samba 2.2.4 PDC which acts as the repository of roaming profiles. Just recently some of our users have experienced failure to load roaming profiles. The clients are on a pair of Windows 2000 terminal servers. The failure does not seem to be confined to one server and only affects some people. The error given takes place during the loading profile stage: Windows can not copy: \\Samba

Hi, This is my first post to the list, so iam hoping luck is with me :) Ive run samba as a simple smb fileserver for over a year, but never needed to do any more than provide shares to users (who always use the same machines). However Iam not in need of running samba as a PDC for some windows 2000 machines, and need to use roaming profiles. This is where the problem sets in. Ive set up a nice

Hello everyone, I am trying to find out if the following is possible: I a HOME domain setup at home running on samba. I also have a WORK domain setup at work. Both of these domains are using remote profiles. Since I recently added VPN support to the server at work, I want to explore the possibility of checking of the "use dialup connection" in my Win2K login screen and login using

Hello, I use a Samba 3.6.12-59.23.1-3256-SUSE-SL12.3-x86_64 coming with openSUSE 12.3 as a PDC. I also use roaming profiles with Windows 7 Pro clients. This works perfect. Now I need to _move some clients_ / profiles to another server with Samba 4.1.9-3.22.1-3256-SUSE-oS13.1-i386 (openSUSE 13.1). This one works already fine, but with different users. So I can exlude mistakes in my

Hi All, I am having some trouble getting Windows XP with SP2 connected to a Samba 3.0.10-based domain controller. With SP1, I only had to change a single registry key to prevent Windows from demanding a signed connection, then it worked. But with SP2, and the same samba-configuration, I have noticed that upon log-off, the user's profile is updated by the user "root" of the group

Hello, I'm using an openSUSE server with Samba Version 4.1.18-3.33.2-3407 and Windows 7 Professional clients for years without problems. Now I have 5 PC with a freshly installed Windows 10 Professional on it. On the Windows 10 machines I only changed the two registry keys[1] and set up the switch "max protocol = nt1" in "/etc/samba/smb.conf" on the server side. I could

I followed it, as it existed at the time, to the best of my understanding when I set up the domain in October 2016. Roaming profiles have been working

I am seeing these in smb.log and each time I do it appears that the user in question is unable to retrieve their roaming profile. Does anyone know what is going on and more importantly, how to cure it? . . .

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

I am unable to get roaming profiles to work correctly when using a Samba 3.0.1 server with Windows 2000 and XP Pro clients. The MS Windows clients will only load the default profile but will stubbornly refuse to load their profile from the Samba server, even though when the user logs off, their profile is correctly written to /home/samba/profiles/username. I have even tried the following
