similar to: How to keep local profiles when joining domain?

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 am using Mandrake 9.2, Samba 2.4 version as a PDC. How do I enable the roaming profiles on the server via /etc/samba/smb.conf?

I am hoping someone else has found a solution for this: "A Delay Occurs When You Open a Mapped Network Drive on a Novell NetWare or UNIX NFS Server" This delay is usually 25sec for any mapped drive or network printer when accessed the first time since timeout. Painful for users who need novell and samba shares. (Windows XP sp2, exists on Novell clients 4.9 sp1a, sp1b, sp2, &

Hi everyone, I'm about to install a Samba PDC in a network that previously was working as a workgroup. All the users have been logging into their local machines as "administrator" and all with the same password. What I would really like to do is to move their profiles with them, but as they are all using the same username and the like I can see this is going to cause problems. So

I just started at a new company and they do not have a server at all I want to put a samba server in place but I need to make sure that in the future I could add a windows server if we buy software that requires it. Does anybody know if this is possible to do? I ideally I would like it to import the users and their information to the AD on the windows server but is not required. Thanks

Thanks again Rowland for getting back to me.  Here's my comments below: >> /etc/hosts: >> 127.0.0.1       localhost >> 192.168.0.17    ad.domain.intranet ad >> 192.168.0.21    domain-ad.domain.intranet     domain-ad > > Remove the line above, this is the old AD domain and shouldn't have > anything pointing to the new one. Have deleted this line. 

I've got a Samba (3.0.14a) controlled domain that contains 1 Windows 2003 Server as a member server. I've been thinking about using Terminal Services from that machine to allow roaming users (ie, those outside of the office) to connect to our network and get work done. My only concern at this point how to deal with the lack of an Active Directory and still allow Terminal Services to

The first time a Word or Excel file is opened, i.e., when either Word or Excel have not been actively running "recently" (like, say for several minutes or more), the time it takes to start the application and load the file seem inordinately long. Once the first evolution is complete, files open more-or-less instantly if I close the first document but leave either app running (but

I?ve upgraded from Samba 2 to version 3, and am having some problems. I think they?re related to SIDs, which I?ve not really been aware of before! Currently I only have the Samba server which is acting as PDC for Win XP Pro machines. My smb.conf looks like: ------------------------------------------- [global] netbios name = scofp1 workgroup = SCODOMAIN server string = Samba

Hi all I recently built a samba box to try and straighten up a nasty setup that my predecessors had running. The old setup was a Win2k box running AD, which I know very little about. All of the clients are running WinXP; some of them were authenticating via the Win2k box, some were just using local accounts. In either case, all files were being stored on the client machines, the server was

Posted: Thu Jul 15, 2004 11:34 am Post subject: Samba/winbind and ADS problem I almost have this. I have read the docs, I have read this, I have purchased both books from the samba team, and I cannot find any help from any of these.

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, On one of my servers (old one, version 1.2.5) user reported that vacation message for basic address works fine, but not for the aliases. I know that this is an old version, but we can't simply switch them to the most current dovecot release without preparing and testing everything... So I'm rather asking for help with debugging the case :) This person has email my.name at

I am running samba (2.2.7a) on a solaris box on a network seperate from our windows clients. (different subnet) We have a mix of Win2k and winXP clients that are connecting to it. I recently upgraded from NT 4.0 domains to active directory on Win2K servers, and I would like to completely do away with netbios and WINS. The problem is getting clients to connect to the samba server. I have

I have samba set up as primary domain controller, and have problems with my Windows XP SP2 machines. Logging in is quick, but most of the time (nine out of ten times) the logout process takes a long time - I do end up rebooting, but once I let it stay and it took a whole hour before it was logged out. It seems to act the same way for all users. Possible sources already eliminated: - I have

Hi, We're running dovecot 2.2.13, virtual users, with postfix. We have an olddomain and a new domainname. To 'translate' *@olddomain into *@newdomain, I have configured: > cat /etc/postfix/canonical > @olddomain.com @newdomain.com While this seems to work, lately we have noticed that dovecot occasionally creates mailboxes for non-existent users, like: >

Hi, When installing Samba, I made it a PDC in a new domain. Now I would like the old NT4 PDC in the old domain to become a plain host in my Samba domain. Is this possible? I need to keep the old NT4 machine because it's running the Symantec Corporate Edition NAV. In other words, I have NEWDOMAIN with Samba PDC and all clients OLDDOMAIN with NT4 PDC alone, no client Can my NT4 PDC become
