similar to: Moving Existing W2K Local Profile to W2K Roaming profile

Hello: I have a Redhat 7.3 samba server acting as a PDC and running samba 2.2.3a-13. I have a few computers with extensive existing profiles and I want to know if anyone knows of a good way to get the COMPLETE profile to the roaming profile on the samba server. Every manual copy way that I have tried thus far has failed miserably. Thanks, A Cline

Hi, I posted this problem before in more detail (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=104756899022766&w=2) but received no response. At the current state of Smaba 3.0 and Samba-TNG these two seem to be incomaptible. Samba 3.0 can't join a TNG controlled domain. I think this should affect a lot of installations as TNG as a controller and "stable" as file/printserver seem

We are running a windows 2000 domain where I work. I am developing a linux client for desktop deployment so that we can stop the spread of cancer (read microsoft). I can get winbind to join the domain, but when i try a winfo -t, it tells me "could not check secret". I have scoured the internet looking for help and could not find anything. I used the HOW TO from John Trostel, with no

Hi I found a patch for Samba 3.0.2 allowing to add hosts as member of the domain admin group. (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=107938779530259&w=2) Has anybody seen a patch for Samba 3.0.3? It took a look at srv_samr_nt.c but I don't think the old patch will fit. Why doesn't samba allow domain admins to add hosts to a domain? I don't want to give the root password to

Hello, I have the same problem this post : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=114881731013700&w=2 After read the solution, What can i do for an production server on next week ? samba 3.0.22 is stable version, anybody know if it fixed this bug. thanks. Rodolphe

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

dear list, i have problems when compiling openldap-2.0.23 and the latest samba version (2.2.3a) on netbsd (8500/180 powerpc). Openldap compile procedure is running fine but when trying to compile samba --with-ldapsam I get just this message : config.log : configure:13019: gcc -o conftest -O -I/usr/local/openldap-2.0.23/include -L/usr/local/openldap-2.0.23/lib conftest.c -lldap -llber

I am having the same trouble with automatically mounted home shares with samba 2.2.1a (PDC, domain logins, roaming profiles) and NT4WS sp6a. If I login as one user, logout, then login as another, I can view the previous users home share as well as my newly logged in users home share (lather, rinse, repeat...). The NT box has a machine account, domain logins work, profiles work, login scripts

Hi folks, I have successfuly migrated a WinNT 4.0 Domain to a Debian server with Samba3+Ldap following the Samba-3 by Example guide from John H. Terpstra (an impressive good guide) and The Linux Samba-OpenLADP Howto from Jerome Tournier & Olivier Lemaire. The domain holds about 800 accounts. There are WinNT servers, WinXP and Win95 clients belonging to it. WinNT servers and WinXP clients

Hello once again, I've got winbind doing authentication not just for the samba service but also sshd and login. It's great. However, I have to give a fully-qualified username (e.g. "GENEEDINC+chris.palmer") as the username when logging in via these methods. I wondered, Is there any way to get winbindd to insert the domain and the separator for the user, when none is provided? I

Hello all: I have a Samba PDC (Samba 2.2.3) on RedHat 7.3 currently serving about 40 to 50 clients with the intent of adding another 60 to 70 in the coming weeks. Everything is working decently well. I do have one problem that I am concerned about though. I have had to make many users Admin users so that a certain application can run. This does not concern me so much except for where data

I'm trying to solve this issue I'm having where using 'valid users = +unixgroup' just plain doesn't work. I can't find any /documented/ reason why this is so, but nevertheless, it seems to be the case. This is with samba 3.6.18, but seems to exist in all of 3.6.x and most or all of 3.5.x and perhaps earlier as well (see bug #6681). From what I can tell, the underlying

Hi, This is a message requesting help for the following problem: Printing Word 97 documents, stored on a Samba server, on an NT4 system to an LPD print queue fails under certain well-defined conditions, creating an empty file called 'Ne<number>:' (e.g. 'Ne120:'). The problem appears to be easily reproducable, as long as you have more than 99 print queues on your NT system.

Hi all. I originally suspected this problem was with netbios (which I have disabled by default) and Jerry has helped me out a bit with but I've been doing some more digging and I think the problem lies back further than I expected. I was trying to upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.0.11 so I've recompiled all versions back from 3.0.11 and the problem first occured in 3.0.8. The issue is with

Greetings, We are running samba 3.0.7 with cups 1.1.20 to serve printing to WinXP pro SP1 clients running Microsoft Access 2002 Our users are having problems "Creating reports in design view" in MS Access when the default printer is a samba queue. As soon as you change the default printer to a non samba queue, everything works fine. I've been searching the archives and it

Hi All, I am current working on Samba + LDAP PDC in RHEL-4. I some problem when doing the smbldap-useradd -w command. When I have a WinXP box try to join the PDC, smbldap-useradd -w "%u" will add a workstation account to the LDAP tree with all POSIX attribute but without all the SambaSAMAccount attribute. So, the WinXP box can find it's workstation account and wouldn't

Hello, I have installed since 6 months a PDC with samba and there is an endless problem : the roaming profile synchronisation !!! THE problem : Sometimes after the logout of a client, the roaming profile is not synchronised on server. So when client connect on another clients, it seems that some data have been loosed... After there is no later synchronisation... So mails in profile are often

Samba 3.0.7, XP Pro SP1 clients When I view the "Properties|Security" tab on a folder from my XP SP1 clients, the checkboxes indicating the various permission settings are all empty. The share is functioning fine otherwise, permissions are OK when inspected from the Unix side. Does anyone know a work around (or fix!)? This came up back in 2003, without resolution:

Hello, I recently figured out, that it is impossible to activate the "Advanced Printer Features" of any printer attached to a samba server. The idea was simple: set up a cups print server, create raw printers, publish them via Samba and distribute corresponding driver files. Everything works fine, except of the general setting for the "Advanced Printer Features". Root is able
