It is my understanding that roving profiles cannot be implemented without using encrypted passwords. It is also my understanding that encrypted passwords cannot be implemented without pointing smb.conf to a windows password server. I'm trying to set up a samba server on a Linux (RedHat 7.3) to act as a PDC and a provider for roving profiles - when I do things with cleartext (encryption

How do you disable roaming profiles in Windows 2000? I know in Windows XP you use gpedit.msc but I don't see where in windows 2000 to disable roaming profiles. Any suggestions? Thanks, Adam

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have win2k pro SP2 client trying to save/retrieve roaming profile from samba 2.2.3a PDC. I followed the SP2 suggestion by throwing "nt acl support = no" to the profiles share, it didn't help. I tried to look for some other solutions on the newsgroup, no luck so far. Here is the scnario: 1. If a new user (not being loged on

I'm running Samba version 2.2.8a on redhat 8.0. i have been working with roaming profiles without problems, but since Win2000-SP4 i get the following error message: /rpc_server/srv_samr.c:api_samr_set_userinfo(670) api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO./ I changed the local policy to: * Do Not Check for Ownership of Roaming Profile Folders * Add the

We are using a system running Red Hat Linux 7.0 with Samba 2.2.7a as our PDC. For the most part, we want to use roaming profiles, so that users' settings are backed up via the PDC, and are available if they need to change or reinstall their Windows desktop machine. However, there are a few Windows systems (running NT 4.0 or Windows 2000) for which we would like to be able to disable roaming

I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and Samba 3.0.1 and I can't seem to get roaming profiles to work right. When there are no profiles stored locally on the win2k machine, and a user logs in for the first time, it successfully reads the profile from the server in the \\netlogon\Default User share. Next, if you manually copy the profile to server and login to the workstation, it

using samba v3 windows xp sp2 clients. i have profiles working to some extent, that is when i create a new user on the server, when that user logs in, the profile gets downloaded from the server from the /etc/netlogon/default user directory. any customizations that the user makes work just fine and get saved to the profiles share under profiles/username when the user tries to go to a different

On a windows server there is a local profile by default unless you tell it to have a roaming profile. I want to have the same thing happen. All the machines say that they used the local copy then a couple seconds later it says it could not copy to the server and any changes will not be saved. I know that I could let it be a roaming and switch it to a local later but in a larger

Hi all, Has anyone else had trouble (or not) with symlinks created in root preexec scripts and roaming profile directories? I'm trying to add a "shared links" director (symlink) to everyone's favorites, and I get error loading profiles where a symlink loop is forming (ends up with something like "cannot copy

I have a network of 2K and XP clients that I am migrating to a domain using Samba 3 as a PDC. I have the domain working quite well after quite a bit of tweaking. My problem is that I want people to logon to the domain, but I also want them to keep their profiles from their local users. How can I go about this? -- Andrew Gaffney

Good morning everyone. I wanted to ask the people on this list who are currently using roaming profiles with samba 3 how it is working? I worked a little with roaming profiles with 2.2.8a, but it was not working as well as I wanted it to and im hoping that samba 3 roaming profiles are working pretty well. Our network here is really calling for roaming profiles to be a major option here. Our

Just an update - I've double checked the other donated computer - it works perfectly fine, roaming profiles gets written to the server and no error message. So in fact, it's just one of

Hello everyone. I wanted to get some feedback and opinions from people regarding the use of Roaming profiles. originally, I was planning on using roaming profiles. However, I am starting to wonder if this is such a good idea. The reason is that, if I implement roaming profiles, there is a good chance that there will be network congestion as well as a lot of stress on the server. (50 users so

Hi All, I don't know whether here is the right place to ask as this question is probably more Windows related than Samba related but I thought someone here might have some ideas. I've got a Samba 2.2.5 PDC (running on FreeBSD but that doesn't really matter) serving Windows XP machines. The roaming profiles are set to be stored in a different share to the users home directory so

Sigh, here is me, trying to make a decent first impression of myself by providing as much information as I could, and then Outlook Expresses 'Send message later' option does something I didn't expect it to. So, here is the full message. Basically, as the subject says, I've found heaps of information on turning them on, but I don't particularly want them as my profile is quite
