similar to: Some PDC problem...

I've been browsing the archive and googling for something like 3 days now and still haven't found where the problem is. Here the situation: Samba 2.2.8a acting as a PDC Some Win2kSP3 clients The problem: When a user logon for the first time, a cache profile is created locally, when he logoff, that profile is saved on the PDC. It's working as expected. The problem arise when the

Hi all, I've got a Samba PDC working on Slackware 9.0 with clients running Win2k SP3 French. Everything runs fine, except one thing. I suppose you guessed what... (eh... no? erm...) the roaming profile. I've been googling / reading howtos / searching the archive for some time now, still can't find what is the problem. Here's the behaviour i get: Everything is ok, the profile get

Hi, My name is Monenci Nicolae. I'm from Romania, an i have a problem that i could not find any answer on net. I have an "Samba version 3.013" instaled.

Dear Mark, It looks like you are trying to do the same as I did. Did you read the thread I had some days ago with subject "How to copy roaming profiles to new server ? ("Group policy client service failed. The logon access is denied")" ? This could help you. Other suggestions : Not sure if [profiles.V2] is still required but maybe you should try to add it ? We also

I'm configuring a new samba 4.1 server with NT4 style domain. I've copied most of the configuration from our working 3.6 server, making some changes as needed for the newer samba version. So far, I have been unable to get roaming profiles to work. It seems like the users cannot write in the profiles directory, but I don't see why not. Here is the relevant part of smb.cond [global]

We recently upgraded our samba 3.6 network to samba 4.2.3. It is still a NT-style domain. The underlying OS was upgraded from CentOS 5 to CentOS 7. The profiles share is set up like this: [profiles] comment = Roaming Profiles path = /mnt/share2/ntprofiles browseable = no writable = yes csc policy = disable create mask = 0600 directory mask

I have quite a few samba installations, and I've had problems with roaming profiles when upgrading from Samba 2.2 to 3.0. My servers run Debian stable, which uses Samba 2.2.3, with security patches. At some point Debian will release a new stable version with a recent Samba 3.0 release. Right now I'm testing a few servers with a samba 3.0.10 backport to make sure the transition will go

Hi I'm sure this must have come up before - if so I apologise. I have googled, read HOWTOs FAQ and numerous personal accounts on how to configure samba as a PDC but to no avail - neither w2k nor XP will join the domain. NT4 Workstation and Win9x I have working fine - where have I gone wrong ? Linux SETUP: RedHat 7.3, samba-2.2.7-3.7.3 (upgraded from 2.2.3a) Win2k SETUP: Win 2000 Pro,

Hi, i'm running a samba PDC on samba 3.0 and just had to reinstall the server because of a dead cpu causing corruption. luckily i had complete backups of the samba-files, so i copied them back to /etc/samba, /var/lib/samba and /var/cache samba. (tdb-files) i had one workstation (xp) removed from the domain and wanted to add it again, but then the station always gives me an error that i

Hello, i must admit that i'm totally lost. After working a lot of hours my new samba server is still not running fine. I had read a lot of papers but i have no idea what's going wrong. My goal: --------- Samba 3.0.9 (Fedora Core 2) working as a PDC for windows 2000 professional client (with sp4 and all hotfixes applied) _with_ roaming user profiles. My status: ---------- *

Hi, Plz, i have installed a Samba NT PDC Domain with XP Prof. and strangelly the machines are syncronizing with the Samba Server when the user Logoff of the domain. I've used the smb.conf below in others domains and XP clients have never synchronized before. I understand that i'm not using roaming profile, because the logon path is empty. The only difference in this domain is that

I'm finally near the end (I hope) of setting samba 3.0.14a as a PDC on a debian sarge, but I (and google, and list archive) can't manage to find a solution. When I add user with the help of usrmgr on my XP box, user is created both in linux and samba (thanks user add script), but lacks profile info (I mean Home Directory, HomeDir Drive, Logon Script and Profile Path), so roaming profile

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Samba with a tdbsam backend, configured not to use roaming profiles. Two different XP clients (SP2) are joined to the domain ok but users can only logon by rebooting before entering their logon details. When users logoff and try to logon again (or logon as a different user on the same machine) they get the standard message 'windows cannot connect to

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. After successfully authenticating the user, the following 2 messages appear: Message 1: ---------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on

Samba 4.0.4 installed, provisioned by classicupgrade, running on Debian Squeeze: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The issue is, that changes to the roaming profile is not transferred after log ins/outs between Win2K and XP machine. In example: I log into the W2k machine with my testuser and create a "testdir1" and "testdir2" on

Rob, When u use a TNT2-M64, why dont you use the Windows drivers for this card, as i believe the TNT2 is good supported within windows xp.

Also thank you for testing this. i cant think of any which will resolve your problem besides above. Louis -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van:

I've got some annoying Problems with roaming profiles. Perhaps someone is able to help me... I would like to use Samba as a PDC and for storing NT roaming profiles. When I first installed Samba 3.02 and XP SP1 (Before that I used Samba 2.2.8a and XP without SP1), XP downloaded the old profiles it found. But upon shutdown or logoff, changes to the profiles were not written to the server. I

Hi all, I have a really strange PDC issue: windows clients are able to join and to login, however some clients have permissions issue on their local machine, for example they cannot modify settings suck as menubar, folder view, set quick start shortcuts ecc... so they cannot use the pc. However if they create a desktop file or folder on logoff their profiles are correctly updated. On the same

Hi! Sorry for asking that, because I think this error is very frequent, but I can't solve it. I searched over the Google and mostly the samba mailing list archives, but I couldn't find anything useful about it. Here is the situation: We are using A Samba3 server with LDAP password backend, configured as WINS and PDC server. We're also using roaming profiles. And here is the
