similar to: Move existing Local Profile to Roaming

I had a problem logging on to the network, it was not getting my roaming profile, so I created a new logon and copied all of the information from the old profile directory to the new login profile directory. I logged on and everything seemed okay, it's like loggin on to the machine for the first time. When I start up MS Outlook my email account is not there, it asks me to setup a new

i have the following problem, the outlook express & desktop settings are being overwritten every time i change the host. i was helped by Laurent HOFMANN (thanks a lot), who pointed out that the exclusion list in ntuser.ini excludes Local Settings from the files, which are being synchronized. However, I still can not figure out the way to change this list for all users. Even if i change it

It is my understanding that roving profiles cannot be implemented without using encrypted passwords. It is also my understanding that encrypted passwords cannot be implemented without pointing smb.conf to a windows password server. I'm trying to set up a samba server on a Linux (RedHat 7.3) to act as a PDC and a provider for roving profiles - when I do things with cleartext (encryption

How do you enable local profile creation on machines connected to a samba PDC? I thought it would be automatic, but it doesn't seem to be. If there isn't a roving profile, windows complains it can't find your profile on the server, then instead of creating a local one, it throws up this message: "Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary

Hello, I am so close!!! So far I have a Samba PDC that machines and users can log into, but here's the deal: I would like to find out how to allow them to log on and receive their login script, but not use a roving profile. Here are my relevant settings as they are set right now: ; logon drive = x: ; logon home = "\\Gluon\Gluon G" ; logon path = \\Jupiter\Profile\%U encrypt

Hi, I am in the process of migrating our windows workstations to a samba domain. Here is the problem: When creating the domain user I put every user additionalyy in the domain admin group so that he/she can copy his old files on the local profile to his new domain account.

All: Before I actually go and take the plunge on performing this upgrade I would like to find out if there are any caveats I should be aware of. I am using RedHat 7.3 and have been using the pre-installed Samba since I began upgrading our network to Samba about 4 months ago. I plan on using the 2.2.7a rpm from Samba.org and would like to know if any of you have done this and whether or not

Due to hardware failure we had a rushed migration from a Samba v3.0.9 on FreeBSD 4, to v3.0.10 on Mandrake Linux 10.1. Since then I have had problems getting roaming profiles to work for new users. Things works fine for existing users, but things are broken for new ones. The setup is a fairly standard Samba PDC with Windows XP clients. When users added since the upgrade log in, they then do

Thanks a lot for your help. The problem is partially solved. However, for the Samba Server not to overwrite the profile, I have to delete the exclusion list every time I logout from the client, i.e. ntuser.ini is being written back to the server every time i logout with the same Exclusion List, although I changed it before login in. Could you please tell me where can i change settings (may be

Hi all, We've been trying to setup/upgrade a samba PDC (version 3.56) with OpenLDAP as backend and roaming profiles for Windows7 (32bit) Clients. windows7 has no problem with login after applying the reg patches, however, it seems to always load a temporary profile as opposed to roaming one for users, no local profile is created. this has caused Outlook 2010 to function improperly

I want to setup a linux box with samba as a file and print server for a LAN of 20 NT 4.0 SP3 workstations. I want the home direcotories to be on the server the clients to have roaming profiles. For this, do I have to make the linux box a domain controller? I want to avoid it if I can, because the domain control code in not on the production releases. I don't want to setup an NT server either.
