I believe that your issue is related to UNIX permissions. The location of your profiles directory must be set to allow all users R/W to it. Create a new group in your group file and add every user to it. Then change the ownership of the profiles directory. Also make sure that all of your users have R/W permissions on that directory.

Hello, I'm trying to get Samba to work as a PDC for a group of Windows clients. I followed two tutorials form IBM developers works: 1) using Samba as a PDC (which is missing domain controller = yes), 2) Using an LDAP Directory for Samba authentication. So I was able tu run Samba 3 as a PDC (without LDAP) - I could join a domain, add a user, machines were added automatically, roaming

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

Hi list At the momtent I use samba as a pdc with tdbsam as passwd backend. I plan to use ldap and I already tried it out. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to disable roaming profiles. I used the smbldap tools. First there is the question if I should use add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" with the -a (is a Windows User) option. If I don't, then windows account

Greetings, I am running RH9 I had the PDC running but it wants to use roaming profiles, which I don't really want, when I take out roaming profiles the none of the PCs can find the domain controller.

I have spent most of the past 24 hours reading various samba docs and searching google for help -- but can't find a solution. Suggestions and solutions would be appreciated. I have set up a Linux Box (Samba 3.02) as a PDC with roaming profiles. (I haven't upgraded, because this box is a model for over 100 other boxes in the field). I can add XP users to the domain and their roaming

Forcing Local Profiles with a Samba PDC Is there any way for Samba to force all NT and Win2k clients of a Samba 2.2.7 PDC to use LOCAL profiles instead of ROAMING profiles? In my area each M$ box is attached to test equipment. The differences in test equipment between M$ boxes is significant. Roaming profiles are causing boxes to complain about hardware that exists only on another box. Forcing

Hi, i have a LDAP Master / Slave setup, but my roaming profiles are lying on the PDC. Whats the best method to keep the profiles in sync? Or should i use another FileServer for the profiles? what do i have to check in smb.conf for having profiles on a different machine? do i also need to move the netlogon dir? cheers juergen

Hi, my question no really concerns 100% to Samba but since I use Samba ... I use Samba 3.0.13 as an PDC and have about 40 WinXp Pro Clients. I was wondering what happens if the WinXP Pro Clients won?t have any connection to the Samba Server anymore. Maybye due an error in the network or the PDC died for some reason. Is there any way to quickly change the clients profile to a local profile? I

After migration of an NT4 domain to Samba we find that when users log in they have a new profile. Since we cannot deal with this on all of the computers with all of the users we have had to stop the migration. I have searched through the archive and not been able to find any answers to this issue, I did find a relevant article though and apparently they didn't have an answer in 2002.

I've got a bunch of Win XP Pro machines, and I setup domain logins to the samba server so I'd have roaming profiles, etc. Alas, I've now discovered that windows doesn't let you use fast user switching when you do domain logins. I really want fast user switching -- is there a way to configure samba / winXP to fake some the domain login features? I don't care about password sync

Hello! Ive just got the lovely job of converting and old Windows NT 4 fileserver to FreeBSD, ive set up samba before as a simple fileshare but this place requires roaming profile login from WinXP, Win98 and Win95 clients.

Hello, After a great deal of tweaking, I finally got the Samba server working, so that it would accept domain logins. However, the problem I now have regards roaming profiles, which refuse to function.

Hi list: I've been using samba+ldap as a PDC with roaming profiles for some time but recently I joined some machines to the domain wich are used by several users and then started the problems, the profiles loaded are not the ones owned by the users, I mean user1 loads the profile of the user2 and so on. I'm using Debian Etch (stable) with samba 3.0.24. Any Help Thanks Harol Hunter
