similar to: SOLVED: Roaming profiles not updating XP

I have run into the EXACT problem; I also may have the solution; I wish I could give you a technical describtion, but I can't. All I know is what worked. Go into Services in the administrative panel of Windows XP and set any service relating to nVidia to Manual startup instead of Automatic. This does not interfere in anyway with any of nVidia's functions in my experince. You can also

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

After almost 40 hours of work and testing over 6 computers I have finally figured out the answer to my problem of Roaming profiles not updating. This has occurred with SAMBA versions 2.2.* and later up through and including 3.0.2a (completely clean install in each case, including rebuilding domain, users and groups and smb.conf from scratch). It does not appear to be a SAMBA issue but one

Samba 4.0.4 installed, provisioned by classicupgrade, running on Debian Squeeze: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The issue is, that changes to the roaming profile is not transferred after log ins/outs between Win2K and XP machine. In example: I log into the W2k machine with my testuser and create a "testdir1" and "testdir2" on

I've found that with roaming profiles enabled, some users experience extremely slow logoffs when using NT/XP/2000. I've discovered that this is usually due to very large email folders in the user's profile. OUTLOOK: As Outlook saves ALL messages in a single .pst file, any activity in Outlook will result in the .pst file being changed and therefore needing to be synchronized with the

I've got some annoying Problems with roaming profiles. Perhaps someone is able to help me... I would like to use Samba as a PDC and for storing NT roaming profiles. When I first installed Samba 3.02 and XP SP1 (Before that I used Samba 2.2.8a and XP without SP1), XP downloaded the old profiles it found. But upon shutdown or logoff, changes to the profiles were not written to the server. I

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'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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'

Hi, I've a samba server set up with a ldap backend an I'v configured it to use roaming profiles (ie: logon path = \\%L\%U\profile), the users homes are exported by nfs to the server. My problem is that the profile of the user always end up in C:/Documents and Settings/$user . I've already erased the local profile and the profile directory in the users home dir, but every time that
