similar to: Problem with roaming profiles..

We have really enjoyed our first couple of weeks using samba2.2.2 as our PDC but the past couple of days have been a nightmare the server out of nowhere stopped letting people log in. We recieved an error message that said "Device is not installed on this network." Now we were able to get rid of the problem and at first were not sure how but, a couple of days later it happened again but

We have recently upgraded from Samba 2.0.4 to 2.2.7 on our test machine with a view to using W2K and WXp clients. We are using Samba on Solaris 7 version of Unix. Our client PC's are all NT 4, SP5. We have a default profile for users who login and load the major application (they don't see any of the NT desktop or have access to the Start button). Other users who have access to the desktop

Hello I attached my smb.conf as a reference but the problem is quite simple: 1) my server didn't show in the network neighbourhood 2) often the whole domain didn't show at all in the n.b. and if I try to access it directly (i.e. typing the domain name) I got a strange error ("cannot find the network path") P.S. Every single machine (server included) is viewable if

Hello everyone. Well, I have a couple of questions regarding roaming profiles. I have been assigned the task of setting up a Samba PDC on our network. Lately, I have been doing a lot of research and reading to find out the best way I setup my system. I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask here, in hopes of getting some feedback. First, some details: The server will be Red Hat 8.0 with

Hello, I have a shiny new RHES4 box running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E (as included in the Red Hat distribution) which is set up as a domain controller, using openLDAP and the IdealX scripts. User PCs are Windows 2000 and XP. We would like to avoid roaming profiles altogether, so we set "logon path =" and "logon home =" (with no argument to the right of the equals sign) in smb.conf.

Sorry but I've posted an incomplete message before that: I've got a big problem with my PDC (Mandrake 8.2 with samba 2.2.5): when I try to join the domain from a W2KPRO (sp3) workstation the procedure goes on well until it require to create a local account for a Domain user ... the system let me browse all the user account on the domain controller but when I try to add it reports this

Hello, We encountered a problem while testing SRIOV on kubevirt [1]: We are currently using the Device "hostdev" generic options to pass-through the VF to the guest. It is not done through the "interface" (with type hostdev) because that option requires access to the PF which is not available in our case (the VF is moved to the container namespace where libvirt runs, but not

Hi After changing from samba 2.2.7 to 3.0.rc2 I can't get roaming profiles work. Clients Are W2K and XP. I've also switched from smbpasswd backend to ldap. Logon path is only set in smb.conf, not in ldap. Storing of profiles is working but it takes very long. I've tried logon path = \\wilma2\profile\Win2K and \\wilma2\profile. But the clients are always storing profile in

Hi, Below is a snippet of my .conf file that worked in 2.2.7a; [netlogon] comment = network logon service path = \\stuff\people\netlogon read only = no browseable = no guest ok = yes [profile] comment = user profiles path = \\stuff\people\%U writeable = yes browseable = no Using v3.0 during a logon session from a 2K ws I get; Windows cannot create profile directory \\% N\username\profile.pds

Prior to upgrading our production servers (2.2.6 on RH 7.3) I've been testing 2.2.7 on a Redhat 8 box. Samba seems to install properly using Redhat's errata RPM's but whenever I try to get a group or user listing I get the following: [root@tux root]# wbinfo -t Secret is good [root@tux root]# wbinfo -u 0xc0000017 [root@tux root]# wbinfo -g 0xc0000001 [root@tux root]# I'm ready to

Through much help from a guy in my local LUG I found the solution to making roaming profiles work on Win2000 (SP4). 1) You should have SP4 installed. 2) Two registry changes are needed: Use regedit and change the following two dword attributes to 0 "requiresignorseal" "signsecurechannel" 3) Run the group policy editor "gpedit.msc" and enable the

Hi guys, I do seme help-out work for a company whose IT guys setup a FC4 box with Samba (fully up to date via YUM) running as a DC. The client desktops are all identical (at least after they got stolen and replaced). Profiles are roaming, so the users can log on on any machine. The software they run is fairly limited - Office 2003, Outlook with Communigate Pro plugin, Norman antivirus, Adobe

Hello, all, My name is Scott Santucci and I'm a software developer kicking around various wild ideas. (I wish I had something more interesting to say about myself than that, but nothing comes to mind; my day job is in SQL and Java, nothing to do with LLVM.) I am wondering whether anyone has tried using LLVM to apply formal verification to program code. I'm thinking about trying to

Hi @ll, can someone enlight me , i could log in the domain and profiles are created well on samba, but after second login, win client says i cannot copy //linux/Profiles/testuser to c:\Dokument ... so its starts with local copy after login i am able to browse the Profiles share on samba but if i wanna open a files the client makes a explorer failure , it seems to me that this is a permission

I have a linux box running samba configured as my PDC with roaming profiles. Everything was running great until I upgraded to WinXP instead of Win2K. Now, when I log out of my XP session, my profile doesn't get uploaded to the server. The local copy remains in effect until I reboot. When I log out, the following message gets sent to the event logger: [quote] Windows has detected that

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE with Samba 3.0.20 configured as a PDC serving a small-ish network (10 XP hosts). My problem concerns roaming profiles - some XP clients take ages to logon and logoff. On doing some Googling I identified the 'profile acls' parameter as being a likely fix. However, I seem to have got myself into one of two scenarios: a) With 'profile acls'

Hi, I'm configuring a network with RH9(samba 2.2.7) and Windows XP SP2 clients. All my users are roaming users and they login/logou without problems. I have 2 printers in one Windows XP workstation thar are shared. I login as a local (administrator) user in another workstation, install the network printers. Then, I logout from the local user and when I login with the roaming users, the

Hello everyone! I have had a lot of luck with mailing lists in the past, so I'm hoping this one works out well also. I've recently helped my company move from an NT4 PDC to a Samba 2.2.7a PDC and everything has gone smoothly until this point. We made the decision to migrate to roaming profiles so our users could move around and use whichever computer they wanted to unlike before,

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

I have been having an odd problem for some time now and have tried many things to get rid of it, but it has been awhile since I worked on it so I'm starting new on this hoping to finally find a solution. The problem is: Certain users will always get two errors while logging out. All users have roaming profiles, but the problem seems to only show up if users have files on their desktop. Not
