similar to: Intermittent "Network name cannot be found" error when accessing XP roaming profile

Hi, I have my Samba Server setting as a PDC, but I wouldn't like that Windows XP store and retrieve profile from the server. Does anyone know how I can do it? Thanks, Cleiton

From http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ProfileMgmt.html: Disabling Roaming Profile Support The question often asked is, ?How may I enforce use of local profiles?? or ?How do I disable roaming profiles?? There are three ways of doing this: In smb.conf Affect the following settings and ALL clients will be forced to use a local profile: logon home =

I have seen a number of postings which seem similar to the problem I am having, but am yet to find a fix for my situation. Problem is as follows: - Samba 3.0.2 rpm installed on Red Hat Enterprise ES 3.0, configured as PDC with ldapsam backend - Windows XP Professional client joined to the Samba domain. The XP client successfully joins the domain and can browse and access shares (including the

John, I have tried the suggestions you provided. I have setup Dynamic DNS as per the Samba 3 By Example book and this is all updating correctly. I have run the validation steps indicated in the book and all names are resolvable and reachable via hosts, DNS and WINS. I am not sure why winbind would need to be turned off, but seeing as I do not need that currently, I have tried disabling it; the

Hi, I'm working on a server that was upgraded a few weeks ago (Linux Mandriva was reinstalled with a more up-to-date Samba version which is 3.3.2). Now, roaming profiles no longer work. I even wonder what would be the proper to way to test them. Workstations are running Windows XP. I followed the procedure for Win2000/XP located here:

Debian stable: Samba -3.0.24-6etch2 I set up a samba server as a pdc. smb.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon home = \\%L\%U [profiles] comment = Network PRofiles Share path = /home/samba/profiles #read only = No #store dos attributes = Yes #create mask = 0600 #directory mask = 0700 #browseable = no #guest ok = no #printable = no writable = yes I created the folders /home/samba

Hi, Dear all, I am just starting using R in my work and got some trouble to figure out some of the errors. Can anybody help me? The following is the script: read.csv('pupil.txt',header=TRUE,sep='\t')->pupil samp<-c(1:50, 112:162, 171:220, 228:278) pupil.nn2 <- nnet(Type ~ ., data = pupil, subset = samp, size = 2, rang = 0.1, decay = 5e-4, maxit = 200)

Hello, I have a Samba 3.0.2a PDC that I have joined server Windows XP machines to. Joining the domain was painfully enough, but now I am having problems with roaming profiles. We initially thought the problem was intermittent, but we finally figured out that if the same user logs in again and again the roaming profile is found and login proceeds normally. When a second user attempts to

Hi. I thought that BackgrounDrb was the perfect solution for my long running report production tasks. But I can''t seem to get anything useful back out of it. I set up a simple test worker that just does class TestWorker < BackgrounDRb::Rails attr_reader :pupil def do_work(args) @progress=0 @pupil=Pupil.find(3) sleep rand*10 @progress=100 end when I try to

Doesn't really resolve the issue, but in my case the problem went away when using physical machines rather than virtual machines. The environments are identical - RH ES 3.0 with Windows XP sp1a client (no hotfixes or GPO settings applied). Thanks for everyone's help.

I'm mulling over the idea of replacing my Win 2k MS AD using Samba. But I'd like to retain roaming profile capability for all my users. Based on your experience is it stable enough to implement for a production environment? I have only 30 using Win 2k Pro and some XP. What are the pit falls I need to look out for? Thank you! Joe

In my tests, I use fixtures, eg pupils.yml might be: jimmy: id: 100003 known_as: Jimmy surname: Page academic_year_id: 1 gender: m In the test, @jimmy (the referencing style referred to in Agile Web Dev....) is nil, whereas pupil(:jimmy) returns the expected Pupil object. What gives? Robert

Hallo, i've got a little question: is it possible to query the domain controller which user is loggid in from which workstation. I'm writing an webapp for teachers; it would be nice to know which pupil logged on from which workstation to shutdown the correkt workstation in order to kick the pupil (force logoff) or is there an other way to

I am trying to clean up unnecessary lines (even as I hack my way forward adding more garbage) I have two questions on lines I have trying to keep the database and session info reflecting changes: def associate_pupil_to_teacher @teacher = session[:teacher] @pupil = Pupil.find(params[:id]) @teacher.pupils << @pupil @teacher.save #Q1 session[:teacher] = @teacher #Q2 end #Q1 do i

Hi all! I have a problem and I can't seem to figure out what is causing it. Because of this I think it's important to tell the whole story... One of my clients has a small office network, where these used to be a Samba 2.x.x server using smbpasswd acting as PDC. A few month ago I installed a new server with samba 3.0.9 (now upgraded to 3.0.10) and OpenLDAP for authentication (as

Hello samba dancers, I'm Friedrich Strohmaier and new to this mailing list. More important: I'm (very) new to PDCing Computers in a network, and I ran in big troubles doing so. Try to tell a long story in short: I'm a fairly experienced administrator for linux systems, and was orderd to move a serverinstallation (SuSE7.0, Samba2.2.x) to a new machine. The old machine did stop

Hello Tim, I have verified and recreated your problem. As soon as I switch SAMBA option security=share , I have exactly the same problems like you, when trying to access a SAMBA share via Windows "Add Network Places" The only option I have to logon is DOOMIT\Guets (DOOMIT is the NetBIOS Name of my samba server). HOWEVER: There *aren't any* problems, if I try to map the share as

Hello, I have a problem with Samba 2.2.5 and Win XP roaming profiles. All works fine. XP load the profile from the server at login and stores them on the server at log out. But if the user logs in twice, XP does not load the profile from the server, it uses its local profile also if the profile on the server is newer. After a reboot XP loads the server profile once again. If I disable local
