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

Hi, This is my first messegge to the list. I need to migrate a Windows 2000 Server PDC to a Linux/Samba, and I readed a lot searching for an answer. My problem is with Roaming Profiles. The user can log on but the configuration isn't the correctly one. The wallpaper, the mail storge, the shortcuts, etc. are wrong. May be is the ntuser.dat file that don?t work well. What can I do?

Hi, This is driving me nuts!! Ok, this is a home network, so not many machines! I HAD 1 windows XP machine with local profiles for everyone - worked fine. I have now installed a linux box with SAMBA on it and I have 3 desktop PCs. I have set up roaming profiles (I think) correctly according to the How-To book. I initially had some trouble getting the local profiels moved to the server, but I

I'm having a problem with Roaming profiles in Windows XP with Samba as PDC. I've googled and trolled the mailing lists and read the Samba documentation. Problem: User logs onto domain from WinXP client and profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a long time and lights on hub are lit up). However, unless that user is in the admin group locally, all/some of the profile

Hi people, im new on the list. I have a samba 3.0.10 working as a PDC with roaming profiles for win2003 clients.

I want to setup a linux box with samba as a file and print server for a LAN of 20 NT 4.0 SP3 workstations. I want the home direcotories to be on the server the clients to have roaming profiles. For this, do I have to make the linux box a domain controller? I want to avoid it if I can, because the domain control code in not on the production releases. I don't want to setup an NT server either.

Hey all, I've got a few WinXP workstations logging into a 2.2.4pre (CVS from April 30th, around 8 p.m. PDT) PDC, and I'm having some sort of odd problem with roaming profiles. The XP workstations can successfully (it seems) retrieve and save thier profiles to the samba box; however, if I log off a user, say "gary", from one workstation, and travel to the next one, and log in

Hello friends, how are you? After Windows 10 may 2019 upgrade, roaming profiles stop working. I'm still able to join the machine to the domain, but after logging, Windows was unable to download the profile from the server. I already check the SMB 1.0 protocol at Windows 10 and it?s working fine too. Without the may 2019 upgrade, everything is working fine. My samba version is Samba version

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).

Hi, This may not be a rails issue, if not apologies. I have an application which allows image downloads. The image is downloaded with the code: send_data(@wallpaper.image, :filename => @wallpaper.path, :type => @wallpaper.image_content_type, :disposition => "downloaded") However, Internet Explorer doesn''t download the image, it

Hi, i have a Ubuntu x64 10.04 Server. Samba configured as PDC. Since today i experience that roaming prfiles can't copy one file to the server and shout an error message.

Samba 3.3.2 running as a domain master on an Ubuntu Server box. We're using roaming profiles with appropriate redirection.
