similar to: Slow logoff with roaming profiles (Answers!)

OK, I've finally got my Samba-LDAP PDC operational. Everything seems to work fine but it takes an age to save settings when logging off. What can I do (i.e. what would one normally do) to speed things up? I do have a huge volume of files under ~/profile/My Documents Will this affect the logoff time? Jim C.

Hello Friends, We are using Samba 3.0 for our domain. Staff login with their roaming profiles and the profiles are not that big. Something happened yesterday and now all the clients are taking more time than normal while loggin off. I have tried rebooting the Samba server and checked all the services and also rebooted the different switches, but problem still exist. Login is fine but loggin off

Rob, When u use a TNT2-M64, why dont you use the Windows drivers for this card, as i believe the TNT2 is good supported within windows xp. You only should use the NVIDIA driver when your gaming... and you probely dont do that with the TNT2-M64 card. Also thank you for testing this. i cant think of any which will resolve your problem besides above. Louis -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van:

I tried to build a setup to model and hence learn how to configure samba servers for the setup that I described below. However, a user login in which the profile is defined to be on a samba server that is not the PDC never gets a roaming profile -- instead the user always gets a temporary profile. Looking at the Windows logs, it is complaining about a permissions issue. However, once logged in

Been playing around with Samba as a domain controller a lot lately, with a rather nice setup. Latest samba and openldap backend, running on hardware SATA raid 5, with for the moment the only shares on XFS /home partition ontop of LVM running XFS quotas. It's all nice and spangley, expect for one thing.. It completely breaks when saving the roaming profile at logoff, and the quota is reached.

Hello! I wonder if it is possible to send a logoff rpc signal? If it is not possible as today would it be possible if we could trace the rpc logoff signal sent p? MS own products? Any suggestions are welcome! Regards Henrik

One of my Win2000 clients takes about 5 minutes to logon (and logoff) my Samba PDC. Other Win2000 clients are fine so this may not be samba related but wanted to ask anyhow. I have turned off the "enable offline folders" on the Win2000 machine so their is no synchronization stuff going on. What else should I do ???

I have quite a few samba installations, and I've had problems with roaming profiles when upgrading from Samba 2.2 to 3.0. My servers run Debian stable, which uses Samba 2.2.3, with security patches. At some point Debian will release a new stable version with a recent Samba 3.0 release. Right now I'm testing a few servers with a samba 3.0.10 backport to make sure the transition will go

Has anyone run accross a way to log domain logon/logoffs? Thanks, Mike

Hello, I've just been exploring Samba again after some time, and this time I'm setting a Samba PDC with LDAP. Thanks for great tutorial from Samba website, I think I got it working fine :) However, I've been browsing the list too, and am a bit confused with the term: 'homedir' and 'roaming profiles'. Is it different? If I'm not mistaken, homedir is for Win9X

We've applied SP1 for WinXP on several machines and now roaming profiles don't work them. I tried swithching "nt acl support = yes" as previously mentioned on this list but this still doesn't work for us and we continue to get the following error: Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile

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

Hi all.. I'm using Samba 3.0.2a on Mandrake 10, serving +/- 50 win98 clients. I'm using this options: logon path = \\%N\%U\profile logon home = \\%N\%U\profile but the roaming profile seems do not working... at least the way that I want. (maybe this is the right behavior). What I want: -> When an user logins on MACHINE1 the profile that is saved in Linux begin download to

Small suggestion. Get this http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/TreeSizeFree.zip Tree Size, go find out how big your profile on you pc is. then check the size on the profile folder of the user. these should be about the same. if not, Logon the server, cleanup the profile of the users. backup and remove the profile of the user on the server. logoff and logon again and check again. Google

Hello. I see a lot of people having this problem, but found not solution so far. The setup: samba 3.0.37 on FreeBSD 7.3/i386 acting as PDC; a similar BDC (only amd64) and XP clients. Users have roaming profiles on the PDC. What happens is: _ a laptop user disconnects from the network (so the local and server profiles are fully synchronized); _ at home [s]he deletes some files; _ back in the

I've been browsing the archive and googling for something like 3 days now and still haven't found where the problem is. Here the situation: Samba 2.2.8a acting as a PDC Some Win2kSP3 clients The problem: When a user logon for the first time, a cache profile is created locally, when he logoff, that profile is saved on the PDC. It's working as expected. The problem arise when the

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE with Samba 3.0.20 configured as a PDC serving a small-ish network (10 XP hosts). My problem concerns roaming profiles - some XP clients take ages to logon and logoff. On doing some Googling I identified the 'profile acls' parameter as being a likely fix. However, I seem to have got myself into one of two scenarios: a) With 'profile acls'

Hello. I am in the process of setting up a home network where 2 of the users will be kids. Because of this, I have decided that it would be nice to have a login time restriction for thier XP workstations, as well as an automatic logoff time. This can be done with any Windows domain controller, and I've had halfway luck with Samba. What I've done so far... I've gotten Samba to use PAM

We have been directed to move off a SAMBA domain to a server 2003R2 domain. We run roaming profiles with samba and would like to continue this on 2003R2. After bringing all the XPSP3 desktops into the 2003R2 domain, roaming profiles wont work. I'm not even trying to use the SAMBA generated profiles. The error I get when logging on is: *Windows cannot locate the server copy of your

PDC : RedHat 7.2 // Samba 2.2.4 RedHat rpm Clients : W2K SP1 Does anybody know how to get rid of the cached local profiles when logging off? Since we use FAT32 every user has access to other local replicated profiles. Furthermore sometimes the logon to the domain doesn?t work the first time after logon after a cold start. W2k claims it can not replicate/copy some files from the users profile and
