Hello everyone! I'm facing a big problem with the samba server I just set up: System: FreeBSD 5.4 Samba ver: 3.0.20 (previuosly 3.0.12) Client(s): Windows XP Professional I configured the server to make use of roaming profiles. I was able to copy local profiles to the server, to login and voila - got my desktop. Also after creating a new user, the new profile gets copied to the server,

Hi, I cant find any wins options in your smb.conf. I think you?ll need Wins for proper Network browsing.

Hello, This is the way for the normal .pst file where outlook stores ist information about the normal folders. I had moved this pst to my homedrive and it works fine. The problem is my IMAP account. When you create an imap account in outlook it creates another pst file in the normal path. This file is called machinename0000006.pst e.g. If you move this file to another path, outlook wont ask at

Hello samba dancers, I'm Friedrich Strohmaier and new to this mailing list. More important: I'm (very) new to PDCing Computers in a network, and I ran in big troubles doing so. Try to tell a long story in short: I'm a fairly experienced administrator for linux systems, and was orderd to move a serverinstallation (SuSE7.0, Samba2.2.x) to a new machine. The old machine did stop

Hi, it's simple: 1.) put all users in YOURDOMAIN\Domain Users or YOURDOMAIN\Workstation Admins or what you would like 2.) put this group (YOURDOMAIN\Domain Users, YOURDOMAIN\Workstation Admins) into the local group Administrators of each Workstation (you may use vbscript to automate this...)

Please bear with me as this is quite a complicated problem which has eluded me for days now... I recently upgraded a Samba 2.2 PDC to Samba 3.0 [3.0.20a as of now]. After upgrading, I had problems with two XP machines, among 16 of them. One of them didn't validate the domain users correctly. That was immediately taken care of by having said machine leave and re-join the domain. Nothing

Hi, Yeah, I too had that one :-) The problems are access rights! So, what I did was the following: 1. I created the standard profile in WinXP (Admin) installed the progs set the docs and outlook-paths started the progs (to check they are working) set all the desktop settings (for the users!) played A LOT with "gpedit.msc" ;-) 2. I created a 2nd admin and logged in 3. in

Hi Federico, many thanks to you. This patch helped me too. Do you know the intention of the original changes by the samba team in ipc.c. I don't think, it is a good idea to store all profiles in an separate directory and the user registry in the home path. Thanks again Rudolf Rudolf Kollien email: Rudolf.Kollien@medas.de Rudolf.Kollien@kollien.de

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

I have a network of 2K and XP clients that I am migrating to a domain using Samba 3 as a PDC. I have the domain working quite well after quite a bit of tweaking. My problem is that I want people to logon to the domain, but I also want them to keep their profiles from their local users. How can I go about this? -- Andrew Gaffney

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

Are roaming profiles compatible between windows xp pro and windows 2k professional? I'm having some issues with wallpapers, for example: they don't get applied.

Hello, If you don?t want (Who wants ?) to save roaming profiles under Winnt\Profiles, than you have to change, or create (if not exist) a registry string: Run regedt32.exe and locate the key entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Add (or change) the following string: DeleteRoamingCache Standard value is 0, it has to be 1 All the Best. --

Hello all, has anybody managed to get Windows 7 (final) to use roaming profiles? Windows 7 is joined to my Samba 3.4.1 domain and always logs me in with a temporary profile. Windows XP works without problems. Thanks for your help, Stephan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, I would like to put users homes in a central (backupped) server. But I do not want to use roaming profiles, I would like a solution similar to solaris /exports/home. Is it possible with samba? Thanks in advance, Mario

Hello, I have a Linux server acting as a Windows PDC and we're using roaming profiles. Wired clients connect fine and upload/download their profiles. Wireless clients do not. I also have RADIUS running on the Linux server and the Wireless AP is configured to authenticate against the RADIUS server as well, using the windows login information. I enabled verbose debugging on the RADIUS

Been playing around with Samba as a domain controller a lot lately, with a rather nice setup. Latest samba and openldap backend, running on hardware SATA raid 5, with for the moment the only shares on XFS /home partition ontop of LVM running XFS quotas. It's all nice and spangley, expect for one thing.. It completely breaks when saving the roaming profile at logoff, and the quota is reached.

Hi all I have a samba 3.0.21c with openLDAP backend. I would like to enable roaming profiles for selected users only. Is it possible , if so please help me . Regards Niranjan

Well, I thought everything was fine! Guess not. Yesterday I was playing with NetBIOS settings trying to get two servers to see each other across subnets. Well, since then, my users are randomly disconnected from the server, and every few times they log out / in, they get a message that their roaming profile wasn't available and a cached copy will be used instead. When that happens they

Hi. This seems to be a simple question: how can I configure a Samba server - and possibly some Windows clients of variable flavor (98, 2000, XP) - to have "roaming profiles by machines"? In smb.conf I had: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%m and [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 As I had permissions problems
