Hello all. I'm in the process of getting roaming profiles up and running on a RH 7.3 installation, running as a PDC on an 'NT Domain'. I've been reading the PROFILES.txt, and need to clear some things up. Do the rules that apply for WinNT, apply to Win2000, specifically the NTConfig.Pol file. If it does, I can't find it on either the samba server or the Win2000 machine,

Hi there I am setting up a PDC with Centos 5 + Samba 3.5.4 + Openldap with Roaming profiles using kixstart tools to mount shared folder and modifing some registry entries on windows workstations, The Roaming profiles works fine between Win2000 and WinXP. but when I tried to join a Win7 or Vista workstations i get mixed errors. Sometimes the profiles loads sometimes not, or loads badly

Hi, I'm working on a server that was upgraded a few weeks ago (Linux Mandriva was reinstalled with a more up-to-date Samba version which is 3.3.2). Now, roaming profiles no longer work. I even wonder what would be the proper to way to test them. Workstations are running Windows XP. I followed the procedure for Win2000/XP located here:

I need a little advice on finishing off a Samba PDC. I have Samba 3.0.0RC1 installed and working as a PDC on a Redhat AS 3.0 machine. It authenticates users nicely but the "roaming" profiles don't work. Tailing the samba log, I see the an attempt to access the users ntuser.dat file, which doesn't exist before the first logon, when logging in. The profile directory

Hello! I am running samba 3.0 on fc2 in a win2000 network. I want to use only mandatory profiles in the network, but can't get this to work properly. I have set up a "perfect user" on my local machine", and copied this profile to \\server\netlogon\Default User. I have also made this default profile mandatory by renaming ntuser.dat to ntuser.man. In smb.conf I have added:

Hi! We are having some trouble after migrating from an NT4 domain controller to Samba 3: When there is no local copy of any profile on a workstation, a user can log in and his profile is copied from the server. When a second user logs in to the same workstation after the first one logged out, he sees the profile of the first one. That is, he actually used it. His profile isn't even read

Hi, I'm new to the list, I hope i'm posting at the right place ;) I'm having a hard time trying to update and to move my Samba 2.2 PDC to a new Debian server. Currently, the PDC is using Samba 2.2.8 on a Solaris Server. My goal is to move it to another computer, and to update it to a newer version (3.0.24) This must be fully transparent for the users, since I have no time to

Hello all, I think my file permission are completely screwed up? I created a file called text file called test as root user and have done chgrp on that file to a group called admin. I have added the users ozzie and root to that group. I then did a chmod g+wr on the test file and ozzie can still not write to the file. If I take away read access from the group, ozzie can still read the

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

Who wins the fight for the roaming profile path, "logon path" in smb.conf or "profile path" set by pdbedit? How do you force the "profile path" in pdbedit to get its value from "logon path" in smb.conf? Is it possible to disable roaming profiles by user with pdbedit and leave "logon path" set in smb.conf? Thanks.

I'm running Samba version 2.2.8a on redhat 8.0. i have been working with roaming profiles without problems, but since Win2000-SP4 i get the following error message: /rpc_server/srv_samr.c:api_samr_set_userinfo(670) api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO./ I changed the local policy to: * Do Not Check for Ownership of Roaming Profile Folders * Add the

I am using Mandrake 8.0 (on /dev/hda5) with Windows 2000 (on /dev/hda2) mounted as /mnt/win2000 and the windows swap file (on /dev/hdb12) mounted as /mnt/k.

This means that this windows installation is probably

Hi, I'm setting up Samba 3.0.2a & ldapsam in my home lab and everythin appears to be working correctly except for profiles.

Hey guys, Got an interesting problem for you all. I am currently running Samba 3.0212 on a Fedora Core 5 server. I am trying to set up the users' home directories and profile paths. This is how I want it to work. I have a share called "Home" to store all the home directories. So for example the home directory path would be \\server\home\user. I want to set the Profile path to

On a windows server there is a local profile by default unless you tell it to have a roaming profile. I want to have the same thing happen. All the machines say that they used the local copy then a couple seconds later it says it could not copy to the server and any changes will not be saved. I know that I could let it be a roaming and switch it to a local later but in a larger

Hi all ! I'm using Samba 2.2.3a on a Redhat Linux 7.2 as a Primary Domain Controller ! My users are mostly use win2000 and the profile directory can be really large after some month, so in this case I need a lot of Extra storage to store them on the PDC ! We don't need this feature basically, so is it possible somehow to switch of this feature ? Best Regards ! Viktor Posta

Hi List, we have a 130+ PC network running windows XP on the clients, with win2000 and samba servers (SuSE 7.3 distribution rpm for samba 2.2.3 and SuSE 8.0 selfcompiled samba 2.2.5). The windows servers just authenticate the users, and provide some additional services (Terminal Server and some special software packages). Print- and File- services are provided by the samba servers. We
