similar to: PDC + roaming profiles through VPN

Hi. I'm trying to add a client running Windows XP Professional SP2 to a PDC server running Samba 3.0.13 over a VPN tunnel made with PPTP. The VPN tunnel works without problem, and I can see the shared resources on the PDC from the client searching the server with its hostname (I can access to \\server). When I try to add the client to the PDC, Windows XP ask me for the root user, but after

Hi All, Just joined the list to try and solve a problem.

Hello, I'm currently planning an environment which will survive any disaster like domain controller crash: PDC02 | VPN | switch | | PDC01 client01 PDC01 and PDC02 are domain controllers, and have identical smb.confs. client01 is a client, has WINS servers set to PDC01 and PDC02. users / passwords are replicated using LDAP. Now, under normal

Hello, We can't connect to our pptp server through our CentOS gateway with a XP client. The linux client is working but not the XP client. I know for a fact that the pptp server is not the problem because if I connect the XP machine directly to the Internet the pptp vpn is working. I know about the pptp-conntrack-nat patch, I compiled the 2.4.9 kernel, with patch-o-matic-ng-20060511.tar.bz2

Although I've been using Samba with Linux and Windows 9x for some time, now I need to deal with integrating Windows 2000 workstations into the mix and I'm having a lot of aggravation with user profiles. I don't know if this trouble is specific to Samba or whether it's another "This behavior is by design" "feature" of Win2000. Windows 2000 has no apparent

hi ! thanks now I have my samba up and running fine. I have it configured as a PDC, and all the roaming profiles work, the management, etc. it's all fine. now, the client that I'm working for, told me ( after some days of making it all work ) that he sees that the use of roaming profiles in his network is useless. ok now, he says no roaming profiles ! I have searched around the network

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

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

Hello, I'm having an "Access denied" issue using roaming profiles for Windows Vista Ultimate RTM (patched to current). The actual login is successful, the full name is set properly and the password is handled correctly, however only a temporary profile is created. The interesting thing is that all else being the same, I do not encounter the same issue for Windows XP roaming

Hello, I'm running Samba Version 3.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. I'm using Samba as the Primary Domain Controller. Things that work: - Clients can logon - I can run logon scripts - Roaming profiles are created for new users on logon However, when I try to logon again with the same user, I invariably get this error message: "Your roaming profile is not available. You are logged on

<expletive deleted> My roaming profiles keep "forgetting" they exist on my W2K boxen. It doesn't occur server-side, as other W2K clients log in fine. But, once one of the clients has forgotten about roaming profiles, it usually takes a re-install to make it remember them... and then, only temporarily. (Except on one machine that's worked fine from the get-go.) I even

Hi, This is my first post to the list, so iam hoping luck is with me :) Ive run samba as a simple smb fileserver for over a year, but never needed to do any more than provide shares to users (who always use the same machines). However Iam not in need of running samba as a PDC for some windows 2000 machines, and need to use roaming profiles. This is where the problem sets in. Ive set up a nice

Hello, I use a Samba 3.6.12-59.23.1-3256-SUSE-SL12.3-x86_64 coming with openSUSE 12.3 as a PDC. I also use roaming profiles with Windows 7 Pro clients. This works perfect. Now I need to _move some clients_ / profiles to another server with Samba 4.1.9-3.22.1-3256-SUSE-oS13.1-i386 (openSUSE 13.1). This one works already fine, but with different users. So I can exlude mistakes in my

Hi everyone. I am running samba version 2.2.4-1 and using samba as a PDC for about 30 windows 2000 machines. I set it up and it works at times, (users can log in to different machines and there settings appear the same), however, sometimes for no apparent reason the following error messages appears on windows when a user logs on.... "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile.....

Hi All, I am having some trouble getting Windows XP with SP2 connected to a Samba 3.0.10-based domain controller. With SP1, I only had to change a single registry key to prevent Windows from demanding a signed connection, then it worked. But with SP2, and the same samba-configuration, I have noticed that upon log-off, the user's profile is updated by the user "root" of the group

Hello, I'm using an openSUSE server with Samba Version 4.1.18-3.33.2-3407 and Windows 7 Professional clients for years without problems. Now I have 5 PC with a freshly installed Windows 10 Professional on it. On the Windows 10 machines I only changed the two registry keys[1] and set up the switch "max protocol = nt1" in "/etc/samba/smb.conf" on the server side. I could

Since years I have a Suse Samba PDC running with Win2000 and WinXP clients. Now I tried to add 2 Win7 clients and I'm having a problem. Win7 don't load my roaming profiles, Win7 always logged in to a domain user using a temporary profile. First I upgrades to Samba 3.4.2 (Suse 11.2), than I set the registry entries according Samba wiki: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 Now I was

My goal is to make VPN access to our Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7.0) so that users can access there home shares from Windows clients. I have read the instructions at http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/pppd/final-report.pdf, but I can't make it work. Don't know if is due to my lack of skills or has something to do with the Popop functionality in FreeBSD. Following the instructions, i made a

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can
