similar to: Erratic behavior when Windows XP clients attempt to login to PDC

I am unable to get roaming profiles to work correctly when using a Samba 3.0.1 server with Windows 2000 and XP Pro clients. The MS Windows clients will only load the default profile but will stubbornly refuse to load their profile from the Samba server, even though when the user logs off, their profile is correctly written to /home/samba/profiles/username. I have even tried the following

Hi Im looking to config a BDC with ldap. It seems the connection with ldap primary server works, but Im confused with the shared folders. I understood when you creates a BDC needs to put the same global information: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = DOMAIN-PDC security = user enable privileges = yes interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 10.0.1.0/24 10.0.0.0/24 server string =

I recently set up a backup domain controller using Samba 3.0.23. I have a Samba PDC already running, and all is working fine, but once I added the BDC, now when people log in to their windows account, their home directory is now being mapped to their home on the BDC (which is empty) instead of the PDC. Conf files from each below: PDC Samba Conf: [global] unix charset = LOCALE

My Configuration, On my PDC: Samba version 3.2.15 /LDAP-Master (slurpd)/SMBD4wins <-- version 3.3.12 not working.

Hi All, I'm having a problem with cross subnet browsing and name resolution across an openvpn tunnel. i've found quite a few people who've had the same on mail lists but none of their fixes have worked. The spec of the setups at both ends of the tunnel are as follows: OS - CentOS 5.5 Samba Version 3.5.4 OpenVPN Version 2.0.9-1 Each server is configured in gateway mode with two NICS,

I have a PDC+LDAP as well as a BDC+LDAP in another subnet setup with a domain member in the same subnet as the BDC. From my understanding the domain member should be hitting the BDC for all authentication but watching the logs I see the PDC is the one handling it all. The BDC just sits there. Am I missing something? Here are the smb.conf for each servers: PDC: [global] workgroup = X.X.X

Hi every body, As you may have guessed, I've got a problem ;) What I had : - A PDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER1, for the domain TEST - A BDC Server (Windows NT 4 SP 6a), called SERVER2, for the domain TEST Everything was working fine. Now I switched my NT PDC to a Samba PDC, and I make SERVER1 a BDC for the domain. Until now, no problem. I use samba 3.0.4,

What about your openvpn config? The tun net must have an entry in your hosts allow. If you work with briding the remote network has to be the same subnet as the local!? Bridging is the best way to have a remote net integrated. I have one logging in form Berlin on my Samba-Domain.

I'm trying to iron out all the problems on my PDC. It's setup with a LDAP backend that's replicated to an ldap slave/BDC.

Hi, I recently migrated to a Samba3x domain. One issue that has been reported to me is that XP users cannot change their password from their PC. I have done some searching and I haven't seen a straight forward answer to this. My config is ldap primary + Samba PDC on host A ldap slave + samba BDC on host B I see this error in the machine log when someone attempts to change their password:

I just migrated my SMB pdc to a new server (was running 3.0.21c, now 3.0.22). Some things seems to be ok. net rpc list; net rpc testjoin seem to work. But if I attempt to join a windows system to the domain I get "The following error occured while attempting to join to domain "DOMAINNAME": The user name could not be found". The machine name is getting loaded into ldap.

I have a Samba PDC (Ubuntu 12, OpenLDAP 2.4.28, Samba 3.6.3), and at two remote sites, I have some Samba BDCs. For now I've manually entered the DCs as WINS servers on the workstations I'm using for testing. At the remote sites, I can log in with an account that has no logon path or logon home specified, and it works perfectly. But at the main site, when I try to log on to one of these

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

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

The situation I've got is that I want to make one domain, and then use it on several different subnets. I have 3 subnets, 10.1.x.x, 10.2 and 10.3, all physically remote, but connected by a frees/wan tunnel that is working just fine. We also have working LDAP logins and all that is fine. I have gotten as far as getting my domain going on LDAP within one subnet, but now I'm trying

Hi, I have configured samba PDC and BDC servers with ldap backend (debian). All users home directories and shares are on Samba member server (opensolaris). everything works fine except fact that on windows i can't see permissions on folders. On files permissions are displayed correctly. if I tick permissions on folders in windows space they disapper after clicking "apply" but

Hello everybody, we have a strange behaviour since a BDC was rebooted. We have an infrastructure were one big Samba server is defined as a PDC, and a few others servers are defined as BDC. This infrastructure is deployed in a school, so we have the PDC and one BDC for each section of the school (college, elementary school ...). Most of the clients computers are Windows XP, and the servers
