Ok. To let you know, my source was Samba Unleashed (copyright 2000). Page 343 and 344 is what told me that I needed to add itself to the entries and to its own domain it is running. I'll remove the entries and see how things work. Thanks for the help. Apparently it is because the book I am using is wrong. Adam Lang Systems Engineer Rutgers Casualty Insurance Company

Hello, I have had Samba running for a long time now as a domain controller to win98 computers with no issues. I have started to modify to allow for the new XP machines we are having. I added CARTER$ (machine name) to the unix account. I added it with smbpasswd. I go to add itself to the domain (smbpasswd -j CHERRY_HILL) and I get this error: No password server list given in smb.conf - unable

Maybe you can find your answer at: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsNT/RegistryTips/Disable/Disablecachingofroamingprofiles.html There hou can read: If you want roaming profiles to not include certain folders, you can

Hi All, I don't know whether here is the right place to ask as this question is probably more Windows related than Samba related but I thought someone here might have some ideas. I've got a Samba 2.2.5 PDC (running on FreeBSD but that doesn't really matter) serving Windows XP machines. The roaming profiles are set to be stored in a different share to the users home directory so

We have lost some profiles in our network due to Windows XP deciding to use a local profile in one login (because it "couldn't find" the server profile), then clobbering the server profile with the local one on the next login. I'd like some way of testing this through a non-interactive means, to emulate a dozen or so users logging in at once and messing about with

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.

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

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'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 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

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

Hi, I'm having a problem with the roaming profiles and windows xp. The problem is that when a new user creates automatically a roaming profile and when he logs out the profile stay in the home dir. when he 'relogin' the 'desktop.ini' files stop working beacuse they are not 'hidden' anymore, and all the folders loss its propertis. Why is that?? what is the

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

Are roaming profiles compatible between windows xp pro and windows 2k professional? I'm having some issues with wallpapers, for example: they don't get applied.

Amazing, this issue has been killing me for months. Every few weeks when I'm in the office I put a few hours into it, no luck. Your resolution works as advertised. Here's what I did 1. On a windows box, Logon as an administrator. 2. Start>Run>services.msc 3. Properties of "NVIDIA Display Driver Service" > Set to Manual 4. reboot 5. logon with roaming profile, make a

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

I have run into the EXACT problem; I also may have the solution; I wish I could give you a technical describtion, but I can't. All I know is what worked. Go into Services in the administrative panel of Windows XP and set any service relating to nVidia to Manual startup instead of Automatic. This does not interfere in anyway with any of nVidia's functions in my experince. You can also

Hi, we just upgraded to samba 3.14a from 3.12 I guess. Now does anyone have working profiles with XP? I looked around on the net, and there seems to be a problem, still or again... With the previous version installed it worked well. Jan Kellerhoff
