Hello all, I have a samba 3.0.9 acting as a PDC in a network where all users use Win XP, and all is working fine except for Roaming Profiles.

Even stranger is that if I

I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and Samba 3.0.1 and I can't seem to get roaming profiles to work right. When there are no profiles stored locally on the win2k machine, and a user logs in for the first time, it successfully reads the profile from the server in the \\netlogon\Default User share. Next, if you manually copy the profile to server and login to the workstation, it

Hello, I'm running Samba Version 3.4.7 on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. I'm using Samba as the Primary Domain Controller. Things that work: - Clients can logon - I can run logon scripts - Roaming profiles are created for new users on logon However, when I try to logon again with the same user, I invariably get this error message: "Your roaming profile is not available.

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login.

One time I saw the problem myself, when a user logged in and had not a single file in her 'Personal Files' after logging out and logging in on the same host the whole

Hi guys, I'm experiencing seemingly random problems using roaming profiles with Samba 3.0.2 on Debian Woody and clients being Win XP Pro and Win2K (all of them running the latest service packs and critical updates and so forth).
