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:

Hi guys, How are you ? I've installed samba-3.0.7 from source on a Slackware Linux 10.0 server configured with "--with-ldap" as a backend (OpenLDAP-2.2.13) and with nss_ldap installed.

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

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

I want to setup a linux box with samba as a file and print server for a LAN of 20 NT 4.0 SP3 workstations. I want the home direcotories to be on the server the clients to have roaming profiles. For this, do I have to make the linux box a domain controller? I want to avoid it if I can, because the domain control code in not on the production releases. I don't want to setup an NT server either.

I am appealing to the general collective wisdom of this list in respect of a statistics (rather than R) question. This question comes to me from a friend who is a veterinary oncologist. In a study that she is writing up there were 73 cats who were treated with a drug called piroxicam. None of the cats were observed to be subject to vomiting prior to treatment; 12 of the cats were subject to

How do you enable local profile creation on machines connected to a samba PDC? I thought it would be automatic, but it doesn't seem to be. If there isn't a roving profile, windows complains it can't find your profile on the server, then instead of creating a local one, it throws up this message: "Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary

Why is it more secure to create a separate share for storing user profiles? I've tested using: [global] logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles And this works fine. But, why not just put the profile in the home directory? I can see that a user might save a file on the desktop and then not be able to find it. When I previously used roaming profiles on a

Hi list: I've been using samba+ldap as a PDC with roaming profiles for some time but recently I joined some machines to the domain wich are used by several users and then started the problems, the profiles loaded are not the ones owned by the users, I mean user1 loads the profile of the user2 and so on. I'm using Debian Etch (stable) with samba 3.0.24. Any Help Thanks Harol Hunter

I have a PC running XP that several users share. I've logged in as them on it and right clicked on my documents and redirected it for each person to r:\my documents so that their roaming profiles will load faster. I've ran into a problem that when anyone logs out on this PC, XP attempts to synchronize my documents of everyone that has logged into that PC with folder redirection.

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 everyone. I wanted to get some feedback and opinions from people regarding the use of Roaming profiles. originally, I was planning on using roaming profiles. However, I am starting to wonder if this is such a good idea. The reason is that, if I implement roaming profiles, there is a good chance that there will be network congestion as well as a lot of stress on the server. (50 users so

Hi, Just a quick question about Roaming Profiles : Is there a way to force Windows to use Roaming Profils only on the share network, and without local copy ? I set Roaming Profile on a samba share with a GPO, but some users have a big profile so login is very slow Thanks Tom

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

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.
