similar to: disabling roaming profiles in windows 2000?

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

I have a PDC named GOMER w/ IP of 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG2 w/ ip of 10.8.7.2. when someone on the 10.8.7.x network using the WINS server of 10.8.7.2 logs in and out, their roaming profile is stored on the PDC. is there any way to have the roaming profile stored on the BDC?, because I will have other 10.8.x.x networks and some of these remote sites will be using DSL and I don't

Hi, I installed a SaMBa PDC and a BDC. When I log in to an XP client with a new user, sometimes I get the initial profile settings from the netlogon share, but often from local. When I get the local default settings, it is not syncronized to the server at logout. Even if I get the new profile from the server, on the same client, next time, with a new user, I get the new profile from local. I

Greetings to the samba community, I am trying to set up a small (12 workstations) Windows XP network served by an Ubuntu 6.06 samba PDC. I have domain logons working, but I am unable to properly set up roaming profiles. One of the users called "host" (which means "guest" in Czech) is able to login without any warnings. Other users (so far "administrator" and

Hi! I have an Windows 2003 with Active Directory providing authentication to the network, and a SUSE box providing file services (currently hosting the users' homes). Now I want to migrate the roaming profiles from the Windows 2003 box to the SUSE box, but it is proving difficult. I copied a profile folder for a test user to the SUSE box and changed its permissions to give ownership

Hello everyone, Not really a Samba problem, but I hope someone can help me : I am doing some tests for integrating XP clients on Samba 3.02 with LDAP backend. I have tried this on a test machine on which I have applied local policies withthe gpedit.msc console (ie : Delete the roaming profiles or hide the logon scripts...) and this work perfectly. Now I'd like to do the same on other

hey guys i want to hear your experience regarding this situation got this one user who store lots of big chunk files in his "My Documents" folder now as she logs out ... it took us several minutes for us to be able to shut down... how to take care of this? can i select which to include in the roaming files ... TIA Kent

Hello all, I've been trying to figure out what the best way of doing the group policy thing is. We are running samba 3 on slackware 9 with winxp clients. We are a school. i'm unclear on how much AD is actually supported... OU GPO all that. so i decided to go the "administrative template" way (used to be .pol files) I'm thinking of having the students run off of a

How do you enable local profile creation on machines connected to a samba PDC? I thought it would be automatic, but it doesn't seem to be. If there isn't a roving profile, windows complains it can't find your profile on the server, then instead of creating a local one, it throws up this message: "Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary

Howdy everyone: Here's an interesting one: I have joined a machine to the domain, and I log on. Then, I get a message to the effect that the user's roaming profile couldn't be [loaded or found?], and a local profile will be used instead (and actually this also fails, but is not the point of my question... I don't think). Background ========== I took my previous PDC, and

Hi, Samba: samba-3.0.21 OS: OpenBSD I built a new WinXP (sp2 and fully updated) box with the the idea of making a Default User profile. I followed the directions in the "Making Happy Users" section of the Samba-3 By Example guide. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold Folder redirection is working, using the %LOGONSERVER%\profiles\%USERNAME%\

HEllo, i am running samba 3.0.14a with this smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = redhat workgroup = net2day server string = PDC [on Redhat :: Samba server %v] security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 127.0.0.1 interfaces = lo eth0 bind interfaces only = yes local master = yes os level = 65 domain master = yes

Hi list, In my current organization, we aren't going to be using roaming profiles (for various reasons, it's not desired). I'm moving us from no domain controller to Samba as a PDC (with an OpenLDAP backend), and I'm trying to make the process as invisible as possible to the end users. Each XP user's local desktop exists at: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ? Other solutions ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski perl -e '$_=q#: 13_2: 12/o{>: 8_4) (_4: 6/2^-2; 3;-2^\2: 5/7\_/\7: 12m m::#;

[samba v3.0.24, gentoo w/ kernel 2.6.15] I'm hoping someone has some insight into the following problem that I've recently encountered: Basically, winxp seems to be creating roaming profiles that are incompatible with another winxp client. I've got two sets of winxp clients, which I'll call 'new' and 'old'. Profiles created (and perfectly usable) by the old

We are migrating all of our users from the current domain to a new one we created. In this process we are moving them from roaming profiles to local. What would be the best practice to accomplish this? I can find plenty of writeups on how to do the opposite. Also we will be doing some extra folder redirection. Currently we only redirect their my documents to the server. On the new system we plan

Hi, I have my Samba Server setting as a PDC, but I wouldn't like that Windows XP store and retrieve profile from the server. Does anyone know how I can do it? Thanks, Cleiton

hi ! thanks now I have my samba up and running fine. I have it configured as a PDC, and all the roaming profiles work, the management, etc. it's all fine. now, the client that I'm working for, told me ( after some days of making it all work ) that he sees that the use of roaming profiles in his network is useless. ok now, he says no roaming profiles ! I have searched around the network

I'm trying to join an XP SP2 PC called testpc to a test environment. Its network settings are statically set. IP address is 10.8.3.209. I have a PDC called gomer.mdah.state.ms.us w/ samba 3.0.26a and IP address is 10.8.3.37. On test PC I right click on my computer, properties, computer name, change from workgroup WORKGROUP to domain ADAMSTEST. But I get the error: Note: This information
