similar to: Access Denied - XCopy from Win2K SP3 to Samba 3.0.8

A problem has arisen with the way samba handles file creation dates compared to NT/win2k, which prevents xcopy /d from working correctly. On NT/Win2k, files copied from another NT machine using xcopy end up with the modified dates equal to the original modified date of the file, and the created and accessed dates become the date of the xcopy operation. On Samba, files copied from an NT

We use MS DOS 7 ala Win98 SE and the M$ client for DOS to logon to Samba 3.0.13 Debian Stable package from samba.org. Also one other unique thing, we have XCOPY32.EXE copied as XCOPY.EXE thus it is really XCOPY32.EXE we are executing, just as XCOPY.EXE. ;-) Example of failing line of code... echo f|xcopy u:\foo\bar.txt h:\file.txt where U: is the drive mapped to the server and H: is a local RAM

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old

Hi I had sent a mail about a week ago regarding a xcopy problem I had. I am trying to copy an image of an nt workstation from an unixware 2.1.3 server running samba 1.9.18p8. Initially the client is a dos client, who connects to the unixware server and downloads files using xcopy. My problem after copying a certain number of files xcopy fails with path not found. On further investigation I

I'm trying to do some quick backups from a Win2K laptop to a Fedora Core 1 desktop but it ain't working. The backups are just a bunch of xcopy's. Most of them run fine but two fail and I don't understand why. It appears that xcopy is attempting to create directories in both cases. When I run the backup targeting a Win98 desktop there is no problem. Here are two examples of

Hi all, I came into a problem with the following situation. One Windows 2k3 server which joined into a AD, and when I tried to copy some files the owner ship of which contails both domain user/group sid and local user/group sid information, to samba server, only domain sid information could be kept, and the windows local user/group sid info was dropped. I verifyed this by using "xcopy /O

Hi Germano, I just found your post regarding Samba and xcopy /d switch at http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-October/000699.html. This is also driving me mad. I was interested to know if you ever found a way around this problem ? It only seems to be a problem for me with 2000 and XP workstation. 98 works fine. Regards James

Hi all,... ... currently I am trying to get hold of a strange error which is successfully keeping me from sleeping the last week. Basically, I am running a DebianGNU/Linux based machine with samba 3.0.0 as a backup server for an amount of Windows NT4 workstations. There is an old backup "framework" around here, basically a collection of .bat files on the workstations which at

I had a simular problem in a single server (unix) environment with PC clients although we were using NFS stack for drive maps. The issue is came down to this: a MS-DOS pathspec cannot exceed 64 characters, with the pathspec looking something like 'server_name:\directory\dir...\...\filename.ext". Your NT and Samba systems are probably selected a SMB protocol like Core Plus or LAN Man 1.0,

Hello, we are in the process of implementing a samba server running 3.0.14 and an external LDAP server running Microsoft ADAM. We have it also running with Open LDAP for UNIX under Redhat. It works fine for every user account that accesses the samba instance. The user mapping is done and all works fine. Now we have the major problem of the migration and I would need some guidance here

When Microsoft released their 8-9 new patches this week, around Tuesday, 02/08/05; I can no longer copy files to any of my samba shares. Before Microsoft's patches, everything worked OK; I have multiple Linux SAMBA servers and two separate Windows 2000 Professional SP4 machines; each were patched. Trying to connect to any of the Samba servers I am running Samba 3.0.10 with Debian Sarge

Hi all, I'm trying to use xcopy /o to copy files from a W2k file server to a Samba 2.2.7 box (Samba manually compiled with ACLs). I'm coming up with Access Denied, as documented here: http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-June/074548.html I gather that the "force unknown acl users" config option is supposed to fix that, although I haven't had a chance to try it out

Hi I'm trying to keep a windows folder synchronized with a samba share using "xcopy /d" ,but it keeps copying again and again a number of files at random that haven't been modified. With a search over internet, I found that this is a pretty old problem, because I managed to find messages from other users that had the same problem, but unfortunatly no solution. Even upgrating to

Hi All I have a Linksys NSLU2 device which is used to hook USB2 drives upto my network as network attached storage. The Linksys firmware upgrade for this device includes samba 3.0.11 which is a non-starter regarding OS/2 connectivity. There is an alternative firmware based on the Linksys firmware called Unslung from http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ The Unslung firmware allows

Hi, I have a very simply batch file that simply copies a 300M file to a SAMBA volume but the job fails if run via the NT scheduler. Manually running the batch file (ie double clicking in the file manager) works fine as does changing the destination to another "real" NT Share. The problems only occurs on SAMBA volumes and not when using another share from another NT. The batch file

Greetings- I have not found discussed / documented what to do with machine accounts when moving a Samba PDC to new hardware. I have seen that uid/gid numbers must match between the old/new system. I am thinking to use adduser to accomplish that, then make the numbers on the new server match, using a text editor. After that, can I simply enter the machine account entries by hand with a text

Hello fellow Samba users and devs. This is my first post. I've searched documentation far and wide for Windows, Linux, and Samba, and have not been able to shed any light on this issue. I can't get more than 8MB/s during a single file copy stream out of my Samba server over my 100FDX switched network either from Win2K or WinXP (I don't have a *nix client to test with). The network
