Hi This might seem to be a stupid question but here goes anyway. I am running a samba server as a PDC with roaming profiles enabled. My profiles are stored on the linux box at /samba/profiles/username. I tried setting a script to create the profile at the same time as adding the new user /usr/sbin/useradd -m u% cd /samba/profiles mkdir %u When I tried adding the a new user I got

Hi, I set a GPO for roaming profiles and everything works fine so far. Due to its computer configuration property I wonder how to prevent certain users (like administrator) not to have a roaming profile. I know about the possibility to set profile path in ADUC but there must be away to use a policy setting for this. Delegation makes no sense to me because it's a computer configuration

Hi, We are having a samba server running samba :2.2.3a The current version is above 3.0 The old samba server has roaming profile enabled and this is a major problem as there are GB's of emails and data downloaded to and from the server daily. a) How can I disable roaming profile and have the profile locally stored on the users machine ?

Hi, we are using samba 3.0.10-17 with openlddap 2.2.6-37.22 as backend. We use roaming profiles, but because of problems with different operating systems and the profile size, we want to use locale profiles. I tried to change logon path in smb.conf in an emty string, but no changes, if I delete this entry in smb.conf, samba use a default value and this is on the server. So I tried to change

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

Ever since I upgraded Samba from 3.0.x to 3.4.x, and reconfigured it to support Windows 7 clients, I am having issues with roaming profiles on my Windows XP clients. All the machines have been rejoined to the domain, domain authentication appears to be working fine, the home drive is mounted ok, and the profile information is even read, but never updated upon logout. A user with no profile will

Why is it more secure to create a separate share for storing user profiles? I've tested using: [global] logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles And this works fine. But, why not just put the profile in the home directory? I can see that a user might save a file on the desktop and then not be able to find it. When I previously used roaming profiles on a

Hello list, I am facing an issue which I cannot explain myself. The roaming profiles don't work for users that are members of the group "Domain Admins". The [profiles] share on the member server was configured exactly as explained on the wiki for roaming profiles. It works like a charm for all domain users, *BUT*: if a user is member of the group "Domain Admins" it

Hello, I'm having an "Access denied" issue using roaming profiles for Windows Vista Ultimate RTM (patched to current). The actual login is successful, the full name is set properly and the password is handled correctly, however only a temporary profile is created. The interesting thing is that all else being the same, I do not encounter the same issue for Windows XP roaming

Hello, I have a Samba 3.0.2a PDC that I have joined server Windows XP machines to. Joining the domain was painfully enough, but now I am having problems with roaming profiles. We initially thought the problem was intermittent, but we finally figured out that if the same user logs in again and again the roaming profile is found and login proceeds normally. When a second user attempts to

Hey All.. I've been trying to track down the source of this problem for some time now and am hoping that someone may have seen this in the past... I picked up a system that has Samba V. 2.2.8a, acting as a PDC and serving roaming profiles to Two Windows 2K Terminal Servers running SP4. However, as a user attempts to login for the first time, the PDC authenticates the user and attempts to

I'm running Samba 4.7.0 on FreeNAS 11.1-U2. It's configured as an Active Directory Domain Controller, and I'm trying to configure roaming profiles. I've created a profile dataset in ZFS that uses Windows permissions. I've configured the share and file system permissions as described in the "Using Windows ACLs" section of:

After update from 3.0 to 3.4.7 roaming profiles were not being saved on XP. Disabled ipv6 on our Samba server (some update must have re-enabled it) and rebooted. Now profiles on XP seem to be working OK again. Not so for Windows 7. This is a newly set up Windows 7 machine, registry fixes were applied as indicated here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 was able to join domain, and
