similar to: Odd Roaming Profile behaviour from a Samba PDC

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

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

Through much help from a guy in my local LUG I found the solution to making roaming profiles work on Win2000 (SP4). 1) You should have SP4 installed. 2) Two registry changes are needed: Use regedit and change the following two dword attributes to 0 "requiresignorseal" "signsecurechannel" 3) Run the group policy editor "gpedit.msc" and enable the

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 ...

Hi! I was hoping someone had seen this problem, and might be able to help me out with it; I've tried the suggestions I found in the mailing lists and on web sites, to no avail. I'm running samba 3.0.2 on RHEL 3, and XP clients seem to occasionally have problems saving the roaming profile, resulting in error messages and the use of the local profile. The problem is when renaming

I upgraded one of my samba boxes to 2.2.8a after all kinds of problems with roaming profiles not loading corrently. Everybody can now log in (as log as the w2k machine has sp3 or newer) but I still get the following error: Cannot start microsoft outlook. This happens on w2k prof and on my w2k terminal servers. I could fix the workstations by adding their user account to the local

Hello, I'm having an "Access denied" issue using roaming profiles for Windows Vista Ultimate RTM (patched to current). The actual login is successful, the full name is set properly and the password is handled correctly, however only a temporary profile is created. The interesting thing is that all else being the same, I do not encounter the same issue for Windows XP roaming

I have this problem... I am working on implimenting a school network. I have two kinds of users on my network: students and facutly. I have also two types of operating system on my network: win 98 and win XPP.

Due to a change in W2K SP4 and XP SP1 (see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 327462 at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q327462) Windows checks the owner of a roaming profile folder when logging in. For some reason this check fails with Samba 3.0 (at least with our setup). It works with Samba 2.2. Any suggestions? Please CC me. I'm not on the list. Thanks, Nick

Hi, I have set up a Samba 2.2.7a to work as a PDC for my Win2k boxes. They can join the domain suplied by samba, and all the users can log on to their domain but, the roaming profiles just won't work. I'm using win2k SP4 and my smb.conf is as described bellow: [global] workgroup = CASA netbios name = SERVIDOR interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0 bind interfaces

Since I upgraded from RedHat 9.0b / Samba 2.2.8 to Samba 3.0.10 I have problems with the roaming profiles of my students. Although the log-files show no errors at all, several users reports me that they are loosing files. One time I saw the problem myself, when a user logged in and had not a single file in her 'Personal Files' after logging out and logging in on the same host the whole

Hi, i'm using samba version 3.0.9-2.6-SUSE on suse 9.1 platform with about 40 clients both win XP SP2 and win 2000 SP4 and over 200 users. My problem is with win xp roaming profiles. It caches profiles onto local drive and every time user logs off it starts to synchronize users profile. If there are more than one profiles cached it tries to synchronize all of them and asks username and

I need a little advice on finishing off a Samba PDC. I have Samba 3.0.0RC1 installed and working as a PDC on a Redhat AS 3.0 machine. It authenticates users nicely but the "roaming" profiles don't work. Tailing the samba log, I see the an attempt to access the users ntuser.dat file, which doesn't exist before the first logon, when logging in. The profile directory

Hello list. I just installed and configured my first Samba-3 PDC and I succeeded immediately with the "join" operation with a Win2k SP4 client. As I afterwards rebooted and tried to logon with the domain user, both root and regular user, I got an error messagge telling me that it was unable to create \\servername\root\profile.pds. In fact, my /home/profiles directory remains empty (no

Why is it more secure to create a separate share for storing user profiles? I've tested using: [global] logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles And this works fine. But, why not just put the profile in the home directory? I can see that a user might save a file on the desktop and then not be able to find it. When I previously used roaming profiles on a

Hi Everyone, Does anybody use roaming profiles in domain level? I'm looking for helps for setting up Samba as a NT4 domain member to support roaming profiles for sharing during domain logon of Windows clients. I ran into the problems. log files couldn't show specified messages, except for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. If a profile share directory is mounted on a Windows NT DC or a Windows domain

Winbind seems to have broke my roaming profiles. I have a 3.0.1Pre1 DC on RH AS 3.0 running with Win2000 SP4 clients logging in.

Hi, I have roaming profile issue on my SAMBA PDC with an LDAP backend running on FreeBSD 6.3. It seems that randomly, user's profile get "corrupted" on windows XP.
