Hi, we are using samba 3.0.10-17 with openlddap 2.2.6-37.22 as backend. We use roaming profiles, but because of problems with different operating systems and the profile size, we want to use locale profiles. I tried to change logon path in smb.conf in an emty string, but no changes, if I delete this entry in smb.conf, samba use a default value and this is on the server. So I tried to change

Hi all, We've been trying to setup/upgrade a samba PDC (version 3.56) with OpenLDAP as backend and roaming profiles for Windows7 (32bit) Clients. windows7 has no problem with login after applying the reg patches, however, it seems to always load a temporary profile as opposed to roaming one for users, no local profile is created. this has caused Outlook 2010 to function improperly

Hello All, I have a problem with my roaming profiles where they are becoming too large due to the Thunderbird mail accounts (stored by default) in Application Data. What I would like to do is exclude this directory from being part of the roaming profile. How can I do this? Also, how hard is it to have some users not use a roaming profile but others continuing to use a roaming profile? We

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

Hi, To this point I have been careful about mixing Win2K and WinXP profiles when using samba as a PDC/Profile server. Settings I have used have been like the following... logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u\%m (in smb.conf) with a typical profile directory as follows... drwx------ 14 test wheel 512 Mar 14 11:32 Win2K drwx------ 17 test wheel 512 Oct 27 18:22 WinXP lrwxr-xr-x 1 test

I have a network comprised of a linux server (mandrake) running samba 3.0.4 as a PDC and clients all being windows xp. I am in the process of doing a practice run of roaming profiles and am currently stuck. What is the most common way to prevent two of the workstations from logging into the pdc and thus corrupting the roaming profile? Ive googled this till im blue in the face and am getting

Grettings, all I have a bizarre problem on a laptop in my Samba 3.3.4 domain. This domain includes a mixture of XP Pro and Vista Ultimate clients. I had just completed a migration to this new domain (from a Samba 2.2.8a domain), and all seemed happy and well - machines had rebooted and were still active in the domain, users were logging in with no problem, shares were working perfectly - all

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

Hello, I have a shiny new RHES4 box running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E (as included in the Red Hat distribution) which is set up as a domain controller, using openLDAP and the IdealX scripts. User PCs are Windows 2000 and XP. We would like to avoid roaming profiles altogether, so we set "logon path =" and "logon home =" (with no argument to the right of the equals sign) in smb.conf.

Hi, is it possible to create the user profiles by copying a template, change file ownership and modify the SID in NTUSER.DAT using the profile tool? We have many problems with broken profiles. This has become time consuming and frustrating - when a user experiences an error or weird behaviour of an application I can never be sure wether the cause is a "wrong user error", a broken

hi ! thanks now I have my samba up and running fine. I have it configured as a PDC, and all the roaming profiles work, the management, etc. it's all fine. now, the client that I'm working for, told me ( after some days of making it all work ) that he sees that the use of roaming profiles in his network is useless. ok now, he says no roaming profiles ! I have searched around the network

Hi, I'm trying to setup a Samba with ldap backend, I followed tha samba by example chapter 6, followed the instcution in the book, and when it says to add an idmap data container, LDAP won't allow me to add the idmap something like this : adding new entry "ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id" ldapadd: update failed: ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id ldap_add: Constraint violation (19)

Hi After changing from samba 2.2.7 to 3.0.rc2 I can't get roaming profiles work. Clients Are W2K and XP. I've also switched from smbpasswd backend to ldap. Logon path is only set in smb.conf, not in ldap. Storing of profiles is working but it takes very long. I've tried logon path = \\wilma2\profile\Win2K and \\wilma2\profile. But the clients are always storing profile in

Hi! We are using Samba 3 in SuSE-linux 8.2 with ldap. After upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 we got following problem: When users log-in homes-share is not allways reachable, so automatic homedrive-mapping and roaming profiles doesn't work. This doesn't happen everytime, but quite often. And after login users can map their homedrives manually. Users have following attributes in LDAP

hi list, i am having problems with the smbldap-populate script from idealx. we are using samba3 server with openldap. we dont want roaming profiles for our users, so in smb.conf i set: logon path = logon drive = H #just for homedirs not for profile, we dont want roaming profileslogon home = in the configuration file for the smbldap-tools (smbldap_conf.pm) it says: # Just comment this if you

Recent list messages got me thinking... Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain? As I understand it, the "magic" line that tells Samba not to do roaming profiles is the smb.conf line: logon path = Which the line must exist, and must be set to null. But that is in the global section. So is there a way to support both local and roaming...

Hi All, I have recently successfully configured Samba 3.3.15 and OpenLDAP as my offices PDC. I would like to disable the roaming profiles capability but it appears that no matter what I said, it is being ignored by Samba. First is my relevant snippet for the Logon Path and Logon Home being empty as described in the documentation. Then, following that, is my entire smb.conf -- please let me

I have a couple of Windows 2000 boxes that only accept logons from users who have logged onto the system before. For new users the logon appears to succeed, proceeds to "Loading your personal settings" and then the following error appears - Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be loaded. Contact your network administrator. DETAIL - The system cannot find the file

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
