I am unable to get roaming profiles to work correctly when using a Samba 3.0.1 server with Windows 2000 and XP Pro clients. The MS Windows clients will only load the default profile but will stubbornly refuse to load their profile from the Samba server, even though when the user logs off, their profile is correctly written to /home/samba/profiles/username. I have even tried the following

Hi folks, I took the plunge recently to move NAT from my router to my shorewall config, and mostly things are ok. Most traffic moves around without problems but sometimes I am having trouble accessing external webservers from non-gateway internal computers. I have stared at the traffic in wireshark (even 2 wiresharks on different interfaces) but can''t see the problem. Nevertheless

Our floater secretaries roam around the office constantly. Recently they've complained that they only get a temporary profile and a warning that their romaing profile is unavailable when they move from one station to another within a few minutes. Looking into this I found that files in their profile remain locked after they had logged out and even shut down the workstation they were on. I

Hi, I have configured roaming profile on WIndows Xp client that is connect to the Samba.

Hi, Hoping you can help. I've updated my samba server (PDC) from 3.0.10 to 3.0.14a as part of updating from FC3 to FC4. I now find I cant see inside any of the shares, even though I can see the share names themselves and the directories are quite readable to Linux processes. So, e.g. I can see that I have a share "Users", but not the contents of it. With one exception all shares

Hi all, we have implemented a scenario with samba as a PDC, running version 2.2.4, and clients windows XP boxes. The scenario calls for roaming profiles, and mobility in general. We have a problem with microsoft outlook, which saves the settings locally, and thus every student has to visit all lab pcs in order to have his detailed entered before he can use outlook. Has anybody implemented

Hi, I'm trying to automatically have the dialplan assign an extension to a roaming phone on my network.

Hi! I'm getting difficulties with wallpapers on roaming profiles on a samba 3.0.9-2.3 under SuSE 9.2 with Windows XP Professional Clients. I discovered, by reading other postings concerning this topic, that Windows won't use jpegs as wallpapers on roaming profiles (converts them to bmp and stores them in "Local Settings", which doesn't roam). So I converted the pictures

the reason why the wallpaper was not following the roaming profile is because i was not using bitmaps... check out this post: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-November/114588.html i am also quoting the last sentence on this web page: http://computertips.toups.info/roaming/RoamingXPPro.htm "There appears to be a problem where .jpg wallpaper does not appear to roam properly.

Before last week, we have been running Samba 3.0.28 on Ubuntu Hardy as a PDC for Windows XP Pro machines using roaming profiles. This has worked for years with no issues. We migrated to a server running Ubuntu Lucid and Samba 3.4.7 so that we could start adding Windows 7 Pro machines to the domain. We first moved servers/samba versions and worked out a few kinks with the XP machines.

Hi list, I have searched through asterisk command lines but haven't found how to do this: - can I list the phones (callerid or IMSIs?) currently registered ? If I do "dialplan show" that lists the configuration I loaded, e.g [ Context 'sip-local' created by 'pbx_config' ] '2102' => 1. Macro(dialSIP|IMSI1) [pbx_config] '2103'

We've just set up an internal domain, and had a single XP Pro machine join without any difficulties. But we need this machine (and the other handful with it) to use Roaming Profiles, which is posing something of a speed issue. I have logged on, killed the 'You do not own the profile' tidbit, fixed up permissions, and finally gotten XP to read the profile from the SAMBA server

Hi folks, I am trying to deploy an LDAP based Samba3 PDC, migrated from an old WinNT4 Domain to support roaming profile for new WinXP clients. But I do not want a full roaming profile. AFAIK WinXP profiles tends to grow. If possible, I would like to roam only the desktop settings, and maybe the navigator (IE or Firefox) configuration. Another important (I believe) information is that our WinXP

Hey folks, I've been testing Samba 4 with some Windows 7 virtual machines and the Active Directory how-to instructions here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO. As far as I can tell, the instructions work exactly as described, except when it comes to roaming profiles. When I attempt to use those, the user can log in but gets a message warning that Windows could not load their

Hello, I've finally managed to get roaming profiles working (kindof). However some issues (after lots of googling) remain unresolved. Here's a summary of what I've done to date: 1) Setup samba shares according to gentoo-wiki.org <http://gentoo-wiki.org>(there were some problems with permissions etc after that but they're ok now) 2) Edited NTUSER of a foobar user account

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

I'm trying to come up with an elegant solution to handle roaming users in a branch office scenario. I have a number of possible scenarios, none of which seem to completely solve the problem. Perhaps someone with a better feel of the interactions can help me out. Is the 'switch' statement useful in some way? What are the ins and outs of the 'switch' statement? Come to think

Hi I've got a samba pdc set up but I've got a strange problem. Everything works fine I can login with the roaming profile BUT I also need a local profile, without the local profile he says that he cannot find the domain name. And the local profile has to be administrator or he doesn't remember my preferences of all my programs and settings. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
