similar to: [OT] DeleteRoamingCache=1 doesn't work

Hi all, I've managed to install an ubuntu server as PDC, everything is working fine. However, i've got a few questions regarding profile ( M$ XP ) and unix accounts. 1. Roaming profile : I believed that when logging off a computer, user's profile was moved back to the server. But i can still find one. Is there anything to do for the profile not to be stored on pc ? 2. An account

Hi, i'm using samba version 3.0.9-2.6-SUSE on suse 9.1 platform with about 40 clients both win XP SP2 and win 2000 SP4 and over 200 users. My problem is with win xp roaming profiles. It caches profiles onto local drive and every time user logs off it starts to synchronize users profile. If there are more than one profiles cached it tries to synchronize all of them and asks username and

Hi everyone, I have struggled with this problem for awhile now. randomly and intermittently a workstation or bunch of workstations will not be able to log in. This is pretty much reproduceable at will, and here is what you need to do to get this little issue to show up: 1. Log out and try to log in as a different user 2. Attempt to login immediately after the machine is booted. To ensure you

[samba v3.0.24, gentoo w/ kernel 2.6.15] I'm hoping someone has some insight into the following problem that I've recently encountered: Basically, winxp seems to be creating roaming profiles that are incompatible with another winxp client. I've got two sets of winxp clients, which I'll call 'new' and 'old'. Profiles created (and perfectly usable) by the old

Hi there! I have a Samba 2.2.2 PDC on linux 2.4.13 with ACL (acl.bestbits.at) support installed. There seems to be a problem with Roaming Profiles. Win2k with local NTFS filesystem will never delete roaming profiles (yes, I have regedited the DeleteRoamingCache to 1). In fact, any time TheUser logs back in, a new folder named TheUser.OURDOMAIN.??? (where ? is an integer) will be created,

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. --

Since I upgraded from RedHat 9.0b / Samba 2.2.8 to Samba 3.0.10 I have problems with the roaming profiles of my students. Although the log-files show no errors at all, several users reports me that they are loosing files. 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

Rob, When u use a TNT2-M64, why dont you use the Windows drivers for this card, as i believe the TNT2 is good supported within windows xp. You only should use the NVIDIA driver when your gaming... and you probely dont do that with the TNT2-M64 card. Also thank you for testing this. i cant think of any which will resolve your problem besides above. Louis -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van:

Hello! I know that this is not samba related, but may be some one knows a quick answer: When using profiles, stored on a well running samba-2.0.0beta2 PDC, the NT PC's cache the profile during a user session. As this profile is not deleted on the PC and we have a lot of users with only few PC's we need a lot of diskspace for this old profiles. Is there a way (Registry Key, ..) that

After being content with an old laptop running XP for years, my job decided to provide me with a shiny new one running Windows 7 Professional. The biggest problem with this is that I can't get the Windows 7 box to login to my Samba NT4-style domain controller. I have upgraded samba from 3.0.33 to 3.6.23, and copied my smbpasswd file to where the new samba expects to find it in

Hello all I hope you can help with the following problem I am tryint to keep win98 and Win2K profiles seperate in a users home directory and at the same time be able to use net use /HOME. I cannot do it. Is it possible? the more i test profiles the more confused i get. one situation is this logon home = \\%L\%U\ logon path = \\%L\%U\ntprofile The above config will store the nt profile

Thanks everyone for helping me get the home directories working over SMB, especially Ben Ford for his workaround for the Xauth and GDM. Now I've got a problem that, most likely, nobody's ever noticed before... or is something specific to me. I've got a Linux client, and a Samba server, and a Windows 2000 server, both set up EXACTLY the same. I've got a test user and the home

Hi list: I've been using samba+ldap as a PDC with roaming profiles for some time but recently I joined some machines to the domain wich are used by several users and then started the problems, the profiles loaded are not the ones owned by the users, I mean user1 loads the profile of the user2 and so on. I'm using Debian Etch (stable) with samba 3.0.24. Any Help Thanks Harol Hunter

I believe that once you have roaming profiles configured, all you need to do to configure folder redirection is set some registry keys. I'd like to turn that job over to our Windows sys admin. Can someone provide me with their favorite documentation for configuring folder redirection? Keep in mind I am passing this link along to a Windows sys admin. Our backend is samba 3.6.3 if it

I am using a .bat logon script (the same for all users) and it avoids that I have to configure each user manually. But now I have to run a command that requires administrator rights on two files, and the command I write in the .bat file doesn't work. Do you know how to run the logon script as the local machine Administrator? After all, the logon script is on the server and only me can

Hi We're running Samba 2.2.7a as a PDC for Windows2000 SP2 Clients. Everthing works just fine, but there is one problem: The clients save their profiles on the PDC (~/.Profiles), but don't delete the local copy of the profile (C:\My Documents\$user). This causes a really big problem, since the client's HD's aren't that big and these profiles grow every day. Is there any way

Hi, I was wanting to know how to have profiles removed form Win2k Machines after they have logged off. Not sure if I have already asked this here, or just looked for the answer in the archives, either way I still don't know the answer :( Thanks for any help. Max.

Hi experts, I encounter a serious problem using Roaming Profiles unter XP Prof. I don't know if this is realy a Samba issue, mybe someone has already solved the same problem. I am running Samba 2.2.5 as an PDC using LDAP. The first time I log on with user "tom", all looks perfect and a profile is downloaded from the Samba PDC, say into D:\Documents and Settings\tom. Then I log out

We have a Samba server which acts mainly as file server, but we want it to resolve host names for local machines. I have written some IP-hostname lines both in /etc/hosts and /etc/samba/lmhosts, and I have "wins support = yes" in smb.conf, but then from a Windows client I try to ping one of those hosts and it can't resolve the address. I have tried some combinations of
