similar to: Problem with roaming profiles on upgrade from 2.2 to 3.0

Hello, i must admit that i'm totally lost. After working a lot of hours my new samba server is still not running fine. I had read a lot of papers but i have no idea what's going wrong. My goal: --------- Samba 3.0.9 (Fedora Core 2) working as a PDC for windows 2000 professional client (with sp4 and all hotfixes applied) _with_ roaming user profiles. My status: ---------- *

I'm finally near the end (I hope) of setting samba 3.0.14a as a PDC on a debian sarge, but I (and google, and list archive) can't manage to find a solution. When I add user with the help of usrmgr on my XP box, user is created both in linux and samba (thanks user add script), but lacks profile info (I mean Home Directory, HomeDir Drive, Logon Script and Profile Path), so roaming profile

Hi samba list, I'm using samba 3(.0.13) with OpenLDAP and I have a strange problem: the variables %U and %G don't seem to be replaced by their values. I get nothing in my logs, so I don't know where is the problem... In fact, in my smb.conf, I have something like: logon home = logon path = \\server\profiles\prof.%G logon drive = h: The profiles are loaded if I use logon

You think Microsoft's mailing lists and forums are better? Just wait (and wait, and and ...). Oh, that's right, you can call Microsft for help ,,, and shell out $295 per.

Hi, i'm running a samba PDC on samba 3.0 and just had to reinstall the server because of a dead cpu causing corruption. luckily i had complete backups of the samba-files, so i copied them back to /etc/samba, /var/lib/samba and /var/cache samba. (tdb-files) i had one workstation (xp) removed from the domain and wanted to add it again, but then the station always gives me an error that i

Hi All, I have just upgraded from Samba 3.0.7 to 3.0.20 on mandrake 10.1 Before upgrading I could add a machine account and admin (root) user to the password backend, join to the domain and check the trust secret. All was well. wbinfo -a name%password would authenticate, as I require for ntlm_auth with squid (which was working well). Now with the same layout, I do this :- Add unix account

I have am hitting a wall with pdbedit, as shown below. Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated. I am encountering the inability to change any users (profile) SID on Samba 3.x for Linux and BSD, which causes the accounts to no longer recognize their local Samba 2 profiles once they join Samba 3 domain. If I add a new user and pdbedit -a user -U SID it ignores the -U. The old profiles appear

I've been at this for hours now and am still not getting it to work. I've been through the lists trying to find an answer and so far as I can tell, everything is configured OK. Obviously it's not, but I'm stuck. I recently installed Squeeze on my home server, overwriting a Lenny installation. I've been able to add my NT (Windows XP/Pro) domain accounts back in and pdbedit

Doing some test i've done, as root, in one DC: root at vdcpp1:~# smbpasswd gaio New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: root at vdcpp1:~# pdbedit -v gaio Unix username: gaio NT username: Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-160080369-3601385002-3131615632-1105 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-160080369-3601385002-3131615632-513 Full

Hi All Have recently moved from a machine running 2.2 to a new machine running 3.0.10-1. I've just converted the smbpasswd database to tdbsam as I understand password ageing etc does not work with smbpasswd. I've set the line 'passdb backend = tdbsam' in the smb.conf, restarted the daemon and now I'm trying to force a user account to have to change his password the next time

Hi. I'm trying to delete a machine account using pdbedit -x -m and it fails. Any idea why that might happen? The machine account exists.. # pdbedit -Lv 'ts$' Unix username: TS$ NT username: Account Flags: [W ] User SID: S-1-5-21-2594621239-3917873753-3682423317-3286 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-2594621239-3917873753-3682423317-515 Full Name: Home Directory:

In my current ''production'' NT-like domain (samba 4.2, OpenLDAP backend), password policies seems to ''get written'' to user data. EG, if i set: pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000 and i change my password, 'Password must change' have a meningful value, eg 90 days more then the last password change: root at armitage:~# pdbedit -v

Samba version 3.0.9 on Red Hat 9.0 workstations: NT 4.0 SP6 When I took over this project, there were two domains connected by a VPN. For reasons that I'm unable to understand, some new users wound up with the intended domain of SATA and some wound up in SATB (even though they joined the SATA domain. Recently, all kinds of problems have materialized and the only thing I can find wrong is

I tried to build a setup to model and hence learn how to configure samba servers for the setup that I described below. However, a user login in which the profile is defined to be on a samba server that is not the PDC never gets a roaming profile -- instead the user always gets a temporary profile. Looking at the Windows logs, it is complaining about a permissions issue. However, once logged in

Hello Group, I've been reading many posts but i still don't have the answer to how to force a password change or set a password lifetime. I'm using w2k clients which connect to a samba PDC version 3.0.10 on a basic SunOS 5.8 system, no ldap or so. syncing the ux-passwords and the smb-passwords works perfect, but i can't get it working to force users to change passwords.

Dear admins I have a similar problem. When I use smbldap-passwd from command line, the sambaPwdMustChange field are setted correctly.

Hello Lads, I have a PDC & BDC / Master & Slave; I regularly make backups of the LDAP database: Slapcat ¡Vv ¡Vl backupallusers.txt. Both my PDC & BDC have been rebuilt from scratch, I slapadd ¡Vv ¡Vl backupallusers.txt and I net set localsid domainsidhere for the PDC << I get that from the backupallusers.txt. Smbpasswd ¡Vw secret < on both PDC & BDC Net rpc getsid

Hello Lads, Problem could be smbldap-tools, im using 0.97. I have manually set the sid on the bdc which seems to work. I am confused because I thought net rpc getsid stored the sid from the pdc on the bdc in secrets. I wasn't aware that net getlocalsid should return identical results on both pdc & bdc. Please explain this - why isnt the BDC obtaining the sid automatic as it should
