similar to: Roaming Profiles:Samba PDC:WinXP:User must be local admin

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as

Hi all, I have gotten the 'profiles' command to work for NT and Win2K profiles very well. In Windows XP, I am able to change the 'owner' but not the 'group' SID. It gives no errors but it just doesn't change them. A snippet of the profile in question is below: furnsrv:/data/samba/profiles/jon # profiles NTUSER.DAT |grep S-1-5 Owner SID: S-1-5-32-544 Group

When I set up my initial users for the Samba domain i did not realize that RIDs were supposed to be dynamic. I was creating the user as a posixAccount in LDAP, and then adding the Samba elements via a script that I wrote. Their RIDs are the same as their UID. For instance if I have a user with uidNumber 1036, her SID would be <domain-SID>-1036. This is fine except for idmapping for

I've got a problem with roaming profiles. I've googled, trolled the mailing lists, and read the documentation. Problem details I'm running samba 3.0.7 as PDC with WinXP clients. When I log onto WinXP as a domain user the profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a while and hub is lit up) but the profile won't load properly. Specifically I notice that the desktop is

Hi, Yesterday I found big problems concerning my roaming profiles. They seem to work on some computers where they are always used, on some other the did not load properly (i.e. a default profile was loaded instead). After some debugging with userenv.log I found the very strange problem: case sensitivity for ntuser.dat!: [...] IsCentralProfileReachable: Testing <F:\testuser\ntuser.dat>

I need a little advice on finishing off a Samba PDC. I have Samba 3.0.0RC1 installed and working as a PDC on a Redhat AS 3.0 machine. It authenticates users nicely but the "roaming" profiles don't work. Tailing the samba log, I see the an attempt to access the users ntuser.dat file, which doesn't exist before the first logon, when logging in. The profile directory

Hi, We are using Samba 3.0.22 on FreeBSD 5.5 PDC with ldap backend and roaming profiles. We meet some difficulties when users logout from some Windows 2000 SP4 clients, and storing their profiles back to the Samba server. The file NTUSER.DAT seems to be uploaded and stored in lowercase, as ntuser.dat. Then, when users try to reopen a win session, they get a corrupted new profile. This new

Hi, i have a Ubuntu x64 10.04 Server. Samba configured as PDC. Since today i experience that roaming prfiles can't copy one file to the server and shout an error message. It's no specific file, mostly its one in my Thunderbird Profile. Does anybody know what could this cause to happen? My smb.conf: [global] printing = bsd netbios name = PDC server string = PDC (%h)

Greetings! I have configured samba as a PDC. This works fine so far, I can add users, log in at my Win2k workstations and use roaming profiles. But now my problem: I want several "template" profiles. I want to use several different pre-configured base-profiles. 1) I configure a template-user: configure the corresponding Desktop, network and printer connections and so on. 2) After this

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable roaming profiles, for a particular user, from the server side? I thought of trying to blank the server profile string in their account attributes, but of course that says 'use the default' which will be to do whatever smb.conf says. Will setting it to something nonsensical, like a space, make it think to not have one? I'd rather do

I am seeing these in smb.log and each time I do it appears that the user in question is unable to retrieve their roaming profile. Does anyone know what is going on and more importantly, how to cure it? . . .

Hello, My company has decided to upgrade everyone from win98 to winXP. So, I've begun the process of setting up a test network to test samba with winXP before the XP rollout begins. I downloaded samba-3.0b1 a couple weeks ago, compiled it, and started configuring it. For the most part everything has been a breeze. I have a winXP SP1a machine on the test network that currently sees

Hello friends, how are you? After Windows 10 may 2019 upgrade, roaming profiles stop working. I'm still able to join the machine to the domain, but after logging, Windows was unable to download the profile from the server. I already check the SMB 1.0 protocol at Windows 10 and it?s working fine too. Without the may 2019 upgrade, everything is working fine. My samba version is Samba version

Hi, I believe I've had a 'hidden' roaming profiles problem with Samba for a while (I have no idea when it first manifested itself - sometime between 3.0.2 and 3.0.21a). When I create a new user, their client workstation creates and updates the profile without any problems. Existing profiles used by existing client workstations are also fine. However, when I try to logon as an

I have a Samba 3.5 server that services seven Windows 7 computers. When the setup was originally installed, all workstations were independent systems and so all users had local administrative privilege. I have removed admin rights from all users but one. This user has a problem. We'll call the user 'dmc' though that isn't his real username. In any event, dmc is a member of the

Hi, I come to find new ideas about a problem which is blocking me since many days.... I've an AD DC on Samba 4.1.11, and a file server (on Samba 4.1.11 too) member of the domain. They works fine (apparently). I've a Win7 Enterprise x64 client, joined to the domain. I've created a new user 'foo' to test openning session. When I log for the first time, my user get a local

Hello all, I've been trying to figure out what the best way of doing the group policy thing is. We are running samba 3 on slackware 9 with winxp clients. We are a school. i'm unclear on how much AD is actually supported... OU GPO all that. so i decided to go the "administrative template" way (used to be .pol files) I'm thinking of having the students run off of a

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hi, i've finally have my LDAP backend working for authentication for my DC.
