What should be the filesystem permissions for the profile share? Something like 0700 user:group for the directory? I'm getting permission denied errors from winxp pro sp2 and samba 3.0.8pre2. Does it have something to do with "profile acls"?

Hi, Yesterday I found big problems concerning my roaming profiles. They seem to work on some computers where they are always used, on some other the did not load properly (i.e. a default profile was loaded instead). After some debugging with userenv.log I found the very strange problem: case sensitivity for ntuser.dat!: [...] IsCentralProfileReachable: Testing <F:\testuser\ntuser.dat>

Hello, Is there a way in Linux to read Windows registry files? I have only ssh access to the Linux/Samba server, and would like to be able to check settings in user profiles (in their ntuser.dat files). Best would be if I could even edit settings in there. For now, it seems the only thing I can do is scp the files to a Windows machine, and manually load the hives in regedt32. Very

Hi, first of all: my name is uli... i'm from bavaria/germany and i'm working with linux quite a long time (maybe 10 years). Now my "problem": my samba is setup with ldap-backend. my configuration with mandatory profiles is working quite good. i created a Default User - Profile in my netlogon-share (migrated from a windows-xp client). ntuser.dat has been renamed to ntuser.man.

After having migrated my machines and user to Samba 4.3.11 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 (no domain upgrade, new provision, all accounts new defined) and old data copied over to the new machines, I have now a broader testbed and notice issues I didn't see prior to that. Having roaming profiles (defined in the user object in LDB)... Seemingly at random smbd keeps locks on NTUSER.DAT and ntuser.ini for a

Good evening, Distro: ClearOS 6.3 (RHEL-derived with a distro-specific web configuration tool for samba) I'm only about 90% sure it's version 6.3. Samba version: 3.6.10-1.v6 Intended use: NT4-style PDC for Windows XP clients Issue: My distro's "add machine script" uses the output of "net getdomainsid" to help populate the new machine account's sambaSID field

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:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I also have the problem that the notepad pops up (with desktop.ini opened), everytime I logon. I know the workaround that was mentioned a thousand times before: hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ I put the file to the [profile]-share, to the [global]-share, but it won't work! An extract of my smb.conf: [profiles]

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

What are the implications of locking the ntuser.dat file on the user's server profile? That is, if I make the ntuser.dat file read-only, what affects will that have on the client?

Hello, I've got problems with my fresh install of samba. Here is the background : We have an old machine on which I installed samba, release 3.0.9. It ran a linux from scratch system, but I was not well documented about samba at the time I did this install, so here is how we used to use it. The users accounts were both created in the system (/etc/password) and for samba (smbpasswd). All

Following TOSHARG and "Samba 3 by examples" I implemented Folder redirection plus some security restrictions by building a custom NTUSER.DAT which is the default profile of my users. The problem is that each user has read/write access to its profile share therefore he can replace its NTUSER.DAT. This is why I chose mandatory profiles. Is there another solution? The problem with

I have a working samba-pdc installation with version 3.0.28 The "profile" permissions in 3.0.28 (and all the files in this directory) are as follow: drwx--x--x 2 user1 ntuser 4096 Aug 22 12:36 profile I am installing a new server with samba version 3.6.3 The "profile" permissions in 3.6.3 (and all the files in this directory) are as follow: drwx--x--x+ 2 user1 ntuser 4096

I'm trying to move some roaming profiles from Domain A to B. All of the profiles are from XP SP3. The originating machine is Debian 5/AMD64, samba 3.4.5 from Debian packages. The destination machine is Ubuntu 9.10, but x86. From everything I've read and found online, `profiles` is supposed to work for XP with no problems. When I attempt to do a SID change on NTUSER.DAT, I get

Dear All, I've been upgrade from 3.6.x to 4.1.x (Member server) All Win 7 Pro 64. While in 3.6.x there is no such report on the issue,just people complain about the slowness While in 4.1.x there are random report on this issue not everyone but more to a particular person... That seem to be happening from 4.1.6, 4.1.11 and 4.1.12 And I've really no idea why or how. Any suggestion to

Hi there, again me, again similar question. First of all, what is it, what I'd like to have: 1.) Every user in my System should use the same profile. In dsa.msc I gave every user as profile-path \\samba4\profiles\stud 2.) The users should not be able to change anything in that profile (I think changing ntuser.dat to ntuser.man should do the job, proposed i got step one managed ;) )

I am seeing these in smb.log and each time I do it appears that the user in question is unable to retrieve their roaming profile. Does anyone know what is going on and more importantly, how to cure it? . . .

Hello everyone, I'm using Samba 3.0.30 as PDC in my home-LAN, the clients are all XP Pro SP2. Everything is working as it should, although I notice an annoying and quite random login delay of 1-5 seconds for all user-machine combinations. The log lines below (log-level 2) are for example what I got about an hour ago: [2009/03/20 18:43:45, 3] smbd/open.c:open_file(240) Tester opened file
