similar to: Write performance of Win XP Pro sp2 & Samba

Gentlemen, I have noticed (!) an unbelievable drop in performance with Windows xp pro sp2 systems, compared to sp1. The performance I have noticed is 122 seconds to write 65,000 indexed records to a dBase type file under sp2 and the same job in sp1 is 7 seconds!! I can't believe that this is a 'normal' feature of Windows sp2 software when working with Samba. Is it possible that

I have samba 3.0.4 acting as a local master browser and couple of win xp sp1, sp2, win 9x client machines. Everything works fine excepts win xp sp2. It just disappears from network neighborehood in about 15-20 minutes after start. stop/starting "Server" system service on this machine solves problem for next 15-20 mins. %) What can be done about it? Is there any sence to upgrade samba to

Hi all, I've got few NetBIOS aliases for samba server, one for each user's group: group1svr, group2svr and so on. Samba server is also domain master for my domain. Linux version is SuSe Linux 8.2, samba version is 3.. At the end of samba.conf file I've put last line as follow: include /etc/samba/server/%L/%U.conf. I've created following directories in /etc/samba

I am running Samba 3.0.7 on Gentoo Linux. The server is configured for domain logins and roaming profiles, and there are about 40 Windows XP Pro SP2 clients that login to the domain. This has been setup and working perfectly since October, until this morning. Now, anytime a client tries to login, they get this error: "windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain

Hi, i have a lot of win XP clients with SP2 preinstalled and when i try to join to samba PDC i get an error: [...] user unknown or incorrect password. [...] The other clients (win 2000-SP4, NT-SP6, XP-SP1) work correctly, the problem is with XP-SP2. My version of samba is samba-2.2.8a. Exists any solution without having to update to last samba? thanks Joan Ramos Ramos

I'm running Samba 3.0.7 on Mandrakelinux 9.2 as a PDC, with a few shares from the PDC and more on a separate Mandrakelinux 10.0 member file server, also running Samba 3.0.7. The passdb backend is LDAP and clients are all Windows XP Professional SP1. Except for the below, everything works great! We make heavy use of offline files, and with Windows XP SP1, all is well. However, when I

I posted a while back (twice, actually), about some long delays with offline files sync and, to a lesser extent, domain logins with Windows XP SP2. This is Samba 3.0.7 (ldapsam backend) on Mandrakelinux 9.2 and 10.0, with XP SP1 clients. I make use of WINS and everything works fine for SP1 clients. Here's what I found since then: after the client is joined to the Samba (NT) domain,

I've having trouble getting XP SP2's to join a domain. Whenever I try to join, at the point I'm asked for a user name and password with permission to join the domain, I enter root and root's password, then get the dreaded "Unknown user or bad password" error message. The clients are a mixed bunch with some 98's, 1 Win2K, a few XP SP1 (I know, I know!, but

I'm scratching my head at the following issue that surfaced with Windows XP Prof. + SP2. First, a summary of my configuration: . Running Samba 3.0.7 in a LDAP-based PDC configuration, and with separate machine as member server for home directories. . The OS for PDC is Mandrake 9.2, the file server (FILES) is Mandrake 10.0. . 1000BaseT Ethernet. With XP SP1 and Samba 3.0.7 or prior,

Hi all! I'm a system administrator for a company that uses Samba (the latest, 3.0.14a) as a PDC for a subnet with various windows clients. The following diagram illustrates the situation of the various host in my network: +----------+ | Win 2003 | +--+-------+ - Clients - | 10.100.0.0/16 | +--------+ |

Hi all, I'm using Samba 3.0.6 (on IRIX 6.5). This is just a 'let you know what I've discovered' message really. I've just installed upgrade a laptop here to SP2 of Windows XP. It then started failing to make network connections. After much fiddling about, I tracked it down to DFS shares. This PC can now connect to the DFS root OKay, but doesn't recognise the entries

Hello, I've installed samba 2.2.0 as a pdc on a redhat 7.0. My clients have win2000 with SP1 and all works well. The problem is that I've installed the SP2 and I can no longer add clients to the domain, I'm rejected with the error "Num?ro de proc?dure hors de l'intervalle admis" (I don't know the translation of this message). Is there a solution or should I

Hi All, I am having some trouble getting Windows XP with SP2 connected to a Samba 3.0.10-based domain controller. With SP1, I only had to change a single registry key to prevent Windows from demanding a signed connection, then it worked. But with SP2, and the same samba-configuration, I have noticed that upon log-off, the user's profile is updated by the user "root" of the group

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. >From an XP machine printing to a SAMBA printer, printing is painfully slow. Selecting the printer, and even sending the job through windows makes the app appear non-responsive. The print job is completed fine, but just takes a long time to print. XP boxes with SP1 print like a dream. I've managed to replicate this on 4 boxes

I have been running our companies XP Pro systems on our Samba domain controller (version: 3.0.10-1.4E) with local administrative rights up to this point. Everything has worked fine. We are getting larger now and I'd like to make the logins locally restricted (I want them to have XP's "Users" rights and "Remote Desktop Users" only). When I restrict the accounts

Hi We're currently experiencing some problems that wasn't a problem in 3.0.4. Since SP2 was installed printers get connected \\<ipaddress>\<printer-name> instead of \\<netbios-name>\<printer-name>. It's more common on SP2 machines but it happens on non-SP2 machines. Although these issues are not consistent. Which some windows applications seems to have a

Hello, I have just performed a yum update on my Fedora 5 machine, which I think included a samba update, and I cannot connect from WinXP to the shares defined on Fedora. When I select the samba server from WIndowsXP, a dialog box prompts for the userid and password. When userid and password are entered the dialog box just redisplays and I am not logged on, no matter how many time I try. I
