similar to: Switch profile from local to roaming?

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

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

Here's an issue I don't think I've seen come up since I've been trolling that is going to be a headache for me: Say I have a user on a laptop, when he is constantly on the network, everything is happy. Say the user goes home, does some work, monkeys around with his settings, and comes back. As soon as said user logs on he gets the copy of his profile from the last time he

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, I am having a hard time figuring out how to have logon scripts that only execute if the user is a member of a certain group. I had the smart idea of putting the supplemental logon script in a share only available to the group, and then calling it from the normal logon script using "CALL "path_to_script". However it looks like it always executes that CALL even if the user

I have a generally stable and well-working Samba configuration on a few servers but I have noticed one recurring problem that crops up from time to time on at least two different systems. The Samba version is '3.0.9-1.3E.2' (from the Red Hat RPM release), it is configured as a PDC, and NT profile updating generally works fine. However, I've noticed that on two completely separate

Hello: I have set up a PDC using Samba 3.0.11 with openldap 2.2.23. I have set up a BDC as well (the smb.conf is same as those on PDC except the nebios name as "BDC" and the domain master is set as "no"). Then I try to shut down my PDC to check whether the client login through the BDC. I found that my client (on Window NT) are able to authenticated by BDC, but it keeps

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

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 realize this may not/probably does not have anything to do with samba per se, but it didn't happen before I upgraded/rebuilt this particular server on 3.0.7. I'll ask anyway in case somebody has seen this... I have ONE user on ONE workstation that occasionally gets locked out of his workstation with the message about a corrupt/inaccessable profile, using a temp (sorry for not

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

I have a sambaserver running as PDC for a smaller windows domain. Because of growing inbox'es I believe roaming profiles in time will not be a good solution, so instead I want the profile dir for the domain users to permanently reside on a samba share. Is it not advisable to do that? I guess it will introduce problems if a user logs on from more than one client at the same time. However that

I have a user John Dow on a local machine johnsmachine. I have a samba user jdow. When I moved the profile john dow to the domain keydomain, I can't get the install program to run. This is how it looks. I have local profile johnsmachine/John Dow and roaming profile keydomain/jdow. When logged into profile johnsmachine/John Dow, I can install and uninstall the palm software with no

Hello ! I have a Samba Server with LDAP(OpenLDAP) authentication and Windows Workstation that login in domain working all right.

How do I configure to execute the 'login script' when a Linux user log in his linux workstation ? Thanks for any help ! Bruno Stella

Hi, On a Fedora box we installed Samba 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3 Accidently we've removed the samba password file. Now, we can't get access to Samba anymore. Is there a way to re-create it ? Or do we have to reinstall Samba ? BTW: We have no backup .... cheers, Andy

Sorry - sent before completed.- my apologies for the dup. I've got Samba set up with the homes share configured. I've added the settings under the Terminal Services Profile tab of a test user. When I log in, the folder specified is created, but it doesn't receive any data files until the user logs off. In the NT event viewer, I see : Event Type: Warning Event

Hi Jerry/Samba Team I have Samba 3.0.10 installed on Solaris8 server and Samba-client-2.2.10 installed on Linux Red Hat2.1AS servers The Linux servers use Samba to mount filesystems from Solaris8 server. My question is how to find out on the Solaris8 server which Linux servers are using Samba to mount from. Because it is hideous to go to every Linux server and see which Solaris8 server they are

Hey guys, I configured Samba do be the domain controller for my network and to share folders. the folder sharing works great. The problem is that the domain function does not work at all. I cannot join the domain from any workstation. It just says that the controller cannot be contacted. I ran an Ethereal sniff on the packets and the computer that i want to be PDC is sending ICMP Destination

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
