Hi all, Just a couple of suggestions for documentation updates. First of all, perhaps you should include the following about Windows XP and slow logons/long delays in opening files: Windows XP and slow network logons/long delays in opening files =============================================================== Windows XP includes a WebDav client that attempts to open shares via HTTP.

Hi Ross.. I can email you the sources (complete zip is about 5Mb..with all the dependency directories etc) and all you have to hit is build after that. Would appreciate help in getting it going.

hate to burst the "collective sigh of relief" bubble, but Flash's HTTP-based streaming within their player is horribly broken. First off, in order to get it to even *stream*, you need to fake the content-length in the initial response header. Seemingly innocent at first, what this, in fact, does is cause the player to download that much data, regardless of "playstate".

Hi List, we have a 130+ PC network running windows XP on the clients, with win2000 and samba servers (SuSE 7.3 distribution rpm for samba 2.2.3 and SuSE 8.0 selfcompiled samba 2.2.5). The windows servers just authenticate the users, and provide some additional services (Terminal Server and some special software packages). Print- and File- services are provided by the samba servers. We

Hi, i'm working on a new maschine with Suse 9.3 and Samba 3.0.9 running. The system on the old Server is Suse 8.2 with Samba 2.2.3. Both sambas are running as PDC with roaming profiles. Both maschines and domains have identical sids. I installed Samba on the new server, configured it, copied some home directories including the profiles from the old maschine to the new server and added some

I am having a heck of a time creating a new samba PDC server. I have installed Samba 2.2.6 on a SuSE 8.0 system. I have defined the machines and users via smbpasswd, created the roaming directories and share points and the server starts with no problems. All of the machines are XP with SignOrSeal set. What I am experiencing is the users are interegated for their userid/password as expected. I

Forcing Local Profiles with a Samba PDC Is there any way for Samba to force all NT and Win2k clients of a Samba 2.2.7 PDC to use LOCAL profiles instead of ROAMING profiles? In my area each M$ box is attached to test equipment. The differences in test equipment between M$ boxes is significant. Roaming profiles are causing boxes to complain about hardware that exists only on another box. Forcing

Ever since I upgraded Samba from 3.0.x to 3.4.x, and reconfigured it to support Windows 7 clients, I am having issues with roaming profiles on my Windows XP clients. All the machines have been rejoined to the domain, domain authentication appears to be working fine, the home drive is mounted ok, and the profile information is even read, but never updated upon logout. A user with no profile will

Please, please help me. I am running RH6.2, Samba 2.2.4 and Windows XP (with sign seal patch). Samba is my PDC. I want to use roaming profiles and it nearly works except for something really strange. When I logon to the Domain as a user and make changes to files etc and then log out it updates my roaming profile perfectly on the server. As the same user if I logon to another machine it also

Hi folks, I running samba 3.x in PDC mode with an ldap backend. Works great! I use roaming profiles with folder redirection on win2k, no problem. Here's the issue, I have a few machines that run xp pro that I need to give the users domain access but NOT roaming profiles. So, I have disabled roaming profiles on the pcs by using the "no propagate changes to the server" and "only

Hello, I have seemed to run into a snag and am wondering if any kind soul on here has any thoughts of what the problem may be, I have roaming profiles setup for a network of Windows XP Pro computers, using a domain controller. I am currently using Samba 3 on SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) with the 2.6.16.21-0.25-bigsmp kernel, the following folders in the users profiles are redirected for performance

OK, after downloading the entire source for Samba 2.2.7a and compiling, instead of simply patching up to 2.2.7a, I no longer have the issue of writing to the Cookies folder in the win9x profile. There is an issue with the win9x machine not shutting down, but that may be a machine issue, so I will troubleshoot that some more. However, the winXP is getting a new error which I am not 100% sure

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

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

Before last week, we have been running Samba 3.0.28 on Ubuntu Hardy as a PDC for Windows XP Pro machines using roaming profiles. This has worked for years with no issues. We migrated to a server running Ubuntu Lucid and Samba 3.4.7 so that we could start adding Windows 7 Pro machines to the domain. We first moved servers/samba versions and worked out a few kinks with the XP machines.

I've recently connected a 64-bit windows box to my existing Samba-run domain. In order to do this, I upgraded to Samba 3.0.23c. Most things work fine. However, I'm having trouble getting the 64-bit box to properly pick up the location of the roaming profile. I want the profile to be stored in a directory in the user's home directory called ".profiles". However, 64

Please anyone can help me? We use samba 3.0.9 at the moment as pdc with xp clients. Since 3.0.8 the profiles are no more loaded from the server. Only members of the admingroup are having functional profiles. XP tries to load them, I offered an empty folder for a poweruser, which was found, but the profile is only temporary and not copied to the server (xp doesn't report any error on logon or

Randy, I believe that it is a simple matter of calling out the local path that you wish to have profiles placed on each machine, in the smb.conf. Example: logon path = C:\Documents and Settings\%u The above should work, for you. I haven't done so myself, since each user on my network has their own unique mailbox, which is saved onto the server when they log off. Which is very
