similar to: Re: samba PDC and windows xp profiles...

OK, I've tried to "read the fine material" and have read more than one reference and more than a few months worth of threads in the archives, but I am still stumped with this issue. When using logging on with Win9x, there is a profile error #4, and it complains that it was not able to open or create a file in the \\regmain\[username]\.profile\Cookies folder on login and sign out.

I am logged on as a domain admin and printer admin. I have created and assigned the correct rights to /srv/printers and have created W32X86 and WIN40 subdirectories. I was able to go into server properties and upload all the necessary drivers. When I right click on the printer and say "No." to "Printer driver not installed, do you want to install the driver now?" the drivers

Hi, I'm having a problem with the roaming profiles and windows xp.

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

Hello I've installed Fedora Core 3 (Test 3, kernel 2.6.8x), with Samba 3.0.8 and OpenLDAP 2.2.13 .

You said: | I've a question... I use the following smb.conf but when I change the Win95 | client to have user profiles, several folders and the user.dat file is | created in the users home directory instead of the profile share...

Please lend me some expertise... Ok, I know suggesting a bug is a bit impolite, but I cannot find a solution for this and none of the helpful people who have responded have been able to help either... If I come off sounding a bit short it's just because I've tried many things to get these older clients printing. :-) Don't mean to annoy anyone. Appreciate any help! Have several

Hello everybody. I am having troubles to log on a samba domain from winxp and win 2000 workstations. I patched the registry with the requiresignorseal=0, changed the local and group policies (following various comments found on the web), and added the machine account for samba (obviously, /etc/passwd too). I tried with samba 3.0.7, 3.0.10 and 3.0.13, Winxp with and without sp2, and win200

I hope this doc below helps out. But from what I have seen it looks like you created the machines accounts but did not create the smbpasswd for the machine accounts. See docs below Machine accounts: the manual approach As noted, Samba will not allow you to add an entry to the smbpasswd file (user or machine) unless there is a existing UNIX account for that user. So the first step is to create an

Good morning all and hope you all enjoyed the 4th. I have a FreeBSD box setup with Samba as a PDC for win9x win2k and winxp. Everything is working beautifully except for one thing, my win2k boxes and winxp boxes with profiles. Of course I had to have the profiles directory setup for win2k and xp clients to join the domain for some reason they were looking for that. Anyway on to the problem

I tried today to setup WinXP Pro to logon to my Linux Domain Server running RedHat Enterprise 2.1 with samba version 2.2.8a. WinXP is complaining it can not locate the domain server or is unable to authenticate with the server. Everything is working fine for Win9x, Win2k, and WinNT systems. When setting up the XP system it was able to connect and create a system account (jeff-system). Can

I have a fresh WinXP Home box here connected to a network consisting of Win9x/ME boxes and FreeBSD 4.x machines running Samba. The browse master is running Samba 2.2.3a and when I try and browse the workgroup I get 'Genesis is not accessible. You might not have access to this resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The account is not

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars.

Hello, I'm following the recipe 26.2.1.4 to disable roaming profiles for win9x and XPpro machines, but perhaps I'm missing something because it doesn't seem be possible get the home shares mapped with profiles disabled. windows machines fails with this error: ------------------------------------------------------------------- net use u: /HOME The user's home directory has not

To Whom This May Concern, Quite honestly, this email is a "long-shot in the dark" for me, since I'm not sure if this email account is still maintained or not. As I searched at google.com for "Samba Print Server" this afternoon, I was led to the USENIX site that contained this email link. I'm currently facing an issue which I'm hoping you can be of help.

Hi Peter, i had a long, frunstrating web surfing yesterday night, searching for something that could apply to your case. I didn't find much at all, sorry. The only thing perhaps interesting to you could be this: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html This doc contains a section about migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2.x I think the problem lyes in the new way samba

Hi guys, I'm just about to shoot on my foot so I wanted to check if there is something else to blow my full leg actually ;-)) I have setup a working Samba 3 PDC controller with user authentication and roaming profiles. I want to lock down [*] the desktop on client machines (win xp) as I did with poledit (NTConfig.POL) on Win9x/WinNT4 machines. [*] Lock downs suck as : disabling msn
