I have a Redhat 7.3 server running Samba-3.0.0 installed from the binary RPM's. It's acting as a PDC with Roaming profiles. I'm not certain if what I'm seeing is actually an error or not, but perhaps someone can shed a little light on what exactly it is that I'm seeing here. I have a WinXP Pro machine that I will log into with my domain username and password. My roaming

my language is dutch, and the code page = 28591 but if I take that in smb.conf I get the error: load_client_codepage: filename /var/lib/samba/codepages/codepage.28591 does not exist. Any ideas?

Hello, I have a PDC and a File (member) server for homes and profiles (Samba 3.4.17). For XP clients I have mandatory profiles with all user shell folders redirected to their respective home share. Now I'm adding win 7 clients to the mix and I want the same thing. It's (almost) working but I think my procedure is a bit dirty (i.e. I use "windows enabler" to build my ntuser.man

Samba ver. 3.0.33-3.29.el5_5 Which file form samba registry should I use to force using roaming profiles :

Hello everyone, We are investigating migrating our Windows 2003 active directory domain to a purely Samba one. I am a relative novice to Samba. I have used it many times to do simple file and printer sharing on an individual or workgroup basis, but never in a domain environment. One of the things I need to find out how to do involves delivering Windows profiles. On our Windows network, some

Hello, i apologize if this adress in not the right one for asking the support. I' ve a question about the roaming profile in a PDC samba. Is possible manage only few selected profile? i want that only specified users (stage users that change pc frequently)have a roaming profile, but not for all users of my lan. In Windows 2000 this is possible ,i can assign, for a particular users, the path of

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

Well, I put it here. All the experience gained in about-half-an-year-management of Samba-PDC + numerous NT4 workstations is included. Also, I'd be glad to hear from you what did I miss! 1) when NT4-workstations are organised into "domain", there's some action assosiated to this: "to log into domain". samba ain such case acts as PDC (primary domain controller),

Hi all. I've just installed samba-3.0.1-rc1 as a PDC and I can add computers ( win2k ) to the domain, but when users log on, they get an error: ... windows cannot locate your roaming profile ... or words to that effect. My smb.conf is: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = NUS server string = Samba Server %v bind interfaces only = true interfaces =

Due to hardware failure we had a rushed migration from a Samba v3.0.9 on FreeBSD 4, to v3.0.10 on Mandrake Linux 10.1. Since then I have had problems getting roaming profiles to work for new users. Things works fine for existing users, but things are broken for new ones. The setup is a fairly standard Samba PDC with Windows XP clients. When users added since the upgrade log in, they then do

Hello everyone. Well, I have a couple of questions regarding roaming profiles. I have been assigned the task of setting up a Samba PDC on our network. Lately, I have been doing a lot of research and reading to find out the best way I setup my system. I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask here, in hopes of getting some feedback. First, some details: The server will be Red Hat 8.0 with

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

Hello All, I have a problem with my roaming profiles where they are becoming too large due to the Thunderbird mail accounts (stored by default) in Application Data. What I would like to do is exclude this directory from being part of the roaming profile. How can I do this? Also, how hard is it to have some users not use a roaming profile but others continuing to use a roaming profile? We

This one gave me a headache yesterday: Last updated version of KB824141 hotfix on a Windows 2000 workstation in a domain with Samba PDC has the following consequences: 1. When a user with a mandatory profile logs on, it doesn't load the profile correctly. The cached profile looks like a default profile - empty directories except for the NTUSER.MAN. No Desktop, no Application data ...

Hello, I have a Samba 3.0.2a PDC that I have joined server Windows XP machines to. Joining the domain was painfully enough, but now I am having problems with roaming profiles. We initially thought the problem was intermittent, but we finally figured out that if the same user logs in again and again the roaming profile is found and login proceeds normally. When a second user attempts to

After searching Google for many days/weeks, I've discovered that apparently NO ONE on the planet uses Windows 8 w/ roaming profiles and Samba! Authentication server: Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 File server: FreeBSD 9.1 Samba 3.6.9 My configuration file is here: http://xenomorph.net/linux/samba/configuration/sample/ Windows XP and Windows 7 work fine.

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

Hi all I have a samba 3.0.21c with OpenLDAP 2.3.19 as Primary Domain Controller. I would like to enable Roaming Profiles per user basis , not for all users. below is my smb.conf , [global] workgroup = mydomain.com <http://msdpl.com/> netbios name = mydomain passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://mydomain.com server string = Domain Controller hosts allow = 192.168.128. 192.168.129.

because the same samba fileserver will also have the home directories for linux users! According to the smb.conf man pages, the value auto will corretcly apply case insensitivity for windows users, and case sensitive for the linux users. Of course I don't know what will happen if a linux user creates two files with the same name and different case, and then logs in from a windows
