Hi all, I have Winbind authentication up and running properly (thanks to new, easy to use features of Redhat Ent 4). My question is this. I know that I can, by massaging /etc/pam.d files manually, have Winbind/Samba automatically create a home directory for each user that logs in, but I am wondering if Samba/Winbind can instead map to their home directory as defined in their Windows profile

Hi, Excuse in advance my poor english. After installing two new servers debian buster with samba 4.9.4 , one as AD ,the second as a fileserver, I was stuck when i tried to connect my users. On a Win10 client , i had the message "windows could not connect to user profile service". The only clue i had was in the event viewer, errors concerning svchost.exe_ProfSvc. After digging

Hey there, Just a question for you Samba 2.2.x gurus out there :) We have a contingent (a steadily increasing contingent) of Win2K and WinXP workstations. Does anyone here know how to stop the profiles from replicating? If we create a file in the profile dir, say \\PDC\UserHome\profile.doc. It will replicate that to the profile directory, while one file or two files are not a problem, we use

Hello, I set up Samba as an AD-controller as described in the documentation, that is with "samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive", https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO. I used Debian 7.8 as basis and the current packages (last Friday) from Sernet for Samba 4.1. Now I try to set up roaming profiles as described by Microsoft here:

I've run into a bit of a peculiarity with exporting home directories and what they map to. I'm running SuSE samba-3.0.23b-0.1.35. I have partition /home, with usernames on my linux box. Am running in "user security" mode. I'd like to be able to not only access my home directory, but the parent as well (/home). Some of the /home directories are "software project

Yep. We are dealing with once perfectly fine working 3.0.9 servers to erratic and weird behaved ones. We believe this is due to changes made my MS in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS05-042.mspx but thus far have not been able to confirm. Commands like: net rpc join -S PDC -U <Admin> now return "no suitable server found" even though that is the same command

Hi, this is my first foray in samba (and newsgroups) so go easy :) I'm trying to map a network drive from a windows 7 pro client to a QNAP NAS: net use s: \\qnap\share I've posted on several forums and got good advice but the problem remains. Rather than repost all the detail, please see my original posts: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=74639

I have been asking at technet about if I could snapshot an exchange db volume[1]. But it looks like that windows server backup is sort of doing the same. Creating vs image, and backup that one. However they truncated the exchange db log files after a succesful procedure. I was wondering if someone is doing this already. How does the guest freeze work exactly in windows (In linux it is quite

When does File Replication using NTFRS or DFS-R will be availabe? Does anybody already work on this item? Here would be some first documentation for this team in case it hasn't started yet: - NTFRS: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759297(v=ws.10).aspx - SYSVOL replication: http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/dd640019(v=ws.10).aspx - NTFRS migration to DFS-R:

thanks for the answer, Louis. i m talking about the userhome dir. I ve already read https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders and i m applying the posix acls to my share. As the users's home is shared between windows and linux, i d rather use the posix acls than the windows ones. Beside the homedir of my users have a form like /home/ first letter of name /login ( ex : /home/d/dare

Hi people, Been doing a server installation with Samba as a primary PDC that uses an LDAP backend on CentOS 5. The thing is that I cannot be able to get Samba and LDAP to talk as they should and now Im really stuck. Below are my dumps for /etc/samba/smb.conf, ldap.conf (copied its contents to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf too), and smbldap.conf. Excuse my long post; trying to be as elaborate as

I'm facing a problem with logins on XP (only used by now) clients when a user has logged out first. The user starts his PC, he is able to login to the domain and igets his profile in a proper way. Now the user wants to logout, he get's the login screen again, he tries to login again and the message appears that "windows was not able to find the profile. Please contact your

Hi there, I'm trying to let dovecot generate the userhome directory dynamicly via user_attr. If "uid" is returned from LDAP before "mail" everything is fine, but if "mail" is delivered before "uid" the localpart of the mailaddress is used in home path. e.g.: Mail: testuser at domain.de UID : test123 sometimes home is /mail/store/testuser and

There is a line in my message that was incorrect. It should state the following: The users with "(primary)" attached to their name are being deleted. As you can see, the Domain Admins group no longer includes joeblow, snoopy or vbe.

Hi, I want to set up authentication using samba 2.2.7 winbind and pam with Windows 2003. The Windows 2003 server is set up in "mixed mode". I follow the HOWTO, set up smb.conf and join the samba server to the domain. I hit a road block when 'getent passwd' yields no active directory users. I have been trying to get this running for two days, and I am beginning to think
