similar to: Still can't get my roaming profile to work

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, i recently decided to try samba as a PDC for my little home network (5 PCs). So far everything is working fine, there's only a little problem with my roaming profile. Here how i see what's going on: When the user logon for the first time on the machine (and on the domain), it creates a local profile. When the user logoff, it copy that profile on the PDC... so far everything is ok.

I'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message:

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

First up, sorry for the lengthy post, but I've tried quite a lot. I've searched the mailing lists, Google, usenet, and IRC. This post is a last resort. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Richard I have verified my setup follows the samba doc: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold Synopsis: --------- When a user logs off XP, most of the server profile

Hi, I am using VMware to test Samba 3.0.0 (running in VMware) with Windows 2000 Server (running in VMware). My Samba 3.0.0 is running as PDC and I manage to configure Windows 2000 Server to join to Samba 3.0.0 but when I logoff from the domain, there is an error stating that it can't copy a particular file to \\Samba-pdc\profiles\user1\Application Data\VMware\filename.dat Regards, ro0ot

Hello, fresh installed Samba 3.024 o Debian system as PDC with roaming profiles. Vista only creates user.V2 in [profiles] but not copy profile after logoff. Directory is writable and XP works good. Any ideas? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Vista-won%27t-copy-roaming-profile-to-server-tp21910084p21910084.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at

I've found that with roaming profiles enabled, some users experience extremely slow logoffs when using NT/XP/2000. I've discovered that this is usually due to very large email folders in the user's profile. OUTLOOK: As Outlook saves ALL messages in a single .pst file, any activity in Outlook will result in the .pst file being changed and therefore needing to be synchronized with the

I have a strange issue with roaming profiles. It only happens for users which has no roaming profile on a Samba server yet. When a user logs out for the first time, some files can't be copied from: C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo\ to a profiles directory on the server. (Files like 31/2Floppy(A).lnk, some *.tmp files etc.). Only very rarely, a first-time logout process happens

PDC : RedHat 7.2 // Samba 2.2.4 RedHat rpm Clients : W2K SP1 Does anybody know how to get rid of the cached local profiles when logging off? Since we use FAT32 every user has access to other local replicated profiles. Furthermore sometimes the logon to the domain doesn?t work the first time after logon after a cold start. W2k claims it can not replicate/copy some files from the users profile and

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

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. You only should use the NVIDIA driver when your gaming... and you probely dont do that with the TNT2-M64 card. Also thank you for testing this. i cant think of any which will resolve your problem besides above. Louis -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van:

Been playing around with Samba as a domain controller a lot lately, with a rather nice setup. Latest samba and openldap backend, running on hardware SATA raid 5, with for the moment the only shares on XFS /home partition ontop of LVM running XFS quotas. It's all nice and spangley, expect for one thing.. It completely breaks when saving the roaming profile at logoff, and the quota is reached.

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

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: ---------- *

We've applied SP1 for WinXP on several machines and now roaming profiles don't work them. I tried swithching "nt acl support = yes" as previously mentioned on this list but this still doesn't work for us and we continue to get the following error: Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile

Small suggestion. Get this http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/TreeSizeFree.zip Tree Size, go find out how big your profile on you pc is. then check the size on the profile folder of the user. these should be about the same. if not, Logon the server, cleanup the profile of the users. backup and remove the profile of the user on the server. logoff and logon again and check again.

Hi all.. I'm using Samba 3.0.2a on Mandrake 10, serving +/- 50 win98 clients. I'm using this options: logon path = \\%N\%U\profile logon home = \\%N\%U\profile but the roaming profile seems do not working... at least the way that I want. (maybe this is the right behavior). What I want: -> When an user logins on MACHINE1 the profile that is saved in Linux begin download to

Hello. I see a lot of people having this problem, but found not solution so far. The setup: samba 3.0.37 on FreeBSD 7.3/i386 acting as PDC; a similar BDC (only amd64) and XP clients. Users have roaming profiles on the PDC. What happens is: _ a laptop user disconnects from the network (so the local and server profiles are fully synchronized); _ at home [s]he deletes some files; _ back in the

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'
