I'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message:

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.

PDC: Samba 2.2.8a on linux 2.4.20 + XFS + ACL, rather normal configuration. Client: Win XP Pro When user logon to Domain, I can see him (smbstatus, utmpx). But when he logoff, the record is still there. It disappears when I reboot the XP. According to M$ knowledge-base the problem is that samba doesn't handle the logoff correctly. Do you have any solution of this? -- Honza Houstek

Hi, I just recently installed Windows XP on one of the computers in my network (previously all Windows 98) which uses Samba as a Primary Domain Controller. After making the required changes for adding machine accounts, I am able to log on using Samba as a PDC. My question is how to get profiles working the way I want them to.

I've got some annoying Problems with roaming profiles. Perhaps someone is able to help me... I would like to use Samba as a PDC and for storing NT roaming profiles.

My Ldap Admin password is correct in secrets.tdb and I can logon in Win 9x, but not in Win XP. The option "RequireSignOrSeal"= dword:00000000 is ok.

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Samba with a tdbsam backend, configured not to use roaming profiles. Two different XP clients (SP2) are joined to the domain ok but users can only logon by rebooting before entering their logon details.

I would like to know if anybody on this list has managed to have a network of 98 clients running off a samba server, and had roaming profiles, i.e. people's settings follow them from machine to machine. I have done everything I find in the guides, and I have no idea why the machines create new local profiles. I've searched the net for documentation, example websites, etc, but it seems the

Don't know if this issue is Windows XP specific, or whether it's Samba that's contributing to the problem. Running Samba 3.0.3 as a PDC on a network of 5 Windows XP Pro workstations.
