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?

Hello everyone. I wanted to get some feedback and opinions from people regarding the use of Roaming profiles. originally, I was planning on using roaming profiles. However, I am starting to wonder if this is such a good idea. The reason is that, if I implement roaming profiles, there is a good chance that there will be network congestion as well as a lot of stress on the server. (50 users so

I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam. I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his

Hello, I have a shiny new RHES4 box running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E (as included in the Red Hat distribution) which is set up as a domain controller, using openLDAP and the IdealX scripts. User PCs are Windows 2000 and XP. We would like to avoid roaming profiles altogether, so we set "logon path =" and "logon home =" (with no argument to the right of the equals sign) in smb.conf.

Hey everyone. We have two offices accessing the same Samba server, which is a PDC and file server. The server is located in one of the offices, but the other office is only connected by a relatively slow link (1.5 megabit/s). I'm looking for a way to turn off roaming profiles only for those users which are at the remote site. (It's a tad inconvenient when it takes an hour or two to

Greetings to everybody! Is there any way to turn off roaming profiles and use only local ones? In our company each of us connects to domain from its own workstation, so as I can see there's no need in roaming profiles. Why I'm asking such weird question? Because with roaming profiles Windows clients has readonly profiles! With Policy Editor I made HKEY_Local_Machine writeable,

Good morning everyone. I wanted to ask the people on this list who are currently using roaming profiles with samba 3 how it is working? I worked a little with roaming profiles with 2.2.8a, but it was not working as well as I wanted it to and im hoping that samba 3 roaming profiles are working pretty well. Our network here is really calling for roaming profiles to be a major option here. Our

Hello All, Today I was able to implement Samba4 as a DC with AD in a test environment. I eventually got it all working and was able to join the domain from two different virtual machines. I was also able to set up a roaming profile share and configure a user to utilize this share. My issue is that when I first logged into the domain after setting up the roaming profiles I did so from a

After searching Google for many days/weeks, I've discovered that apparently NO ONE on the planet uses Windows 8 w/ roaming profiles and Samba!

Hello, When a notebook joins a domain, it creates a new (roaming) profile for the domain user. XP sees this user (Domain\User) as someone different from the local user (Hostname\User) which existed before. Is there a way to reconcile these two personalities, while keeping the profile as roaming, so the user can both use different computers in the domain with his roaming profile, and also use

Hi everyone This is our first proper test of Samba 4 and we've been up with an opensuse server, an ubuntu client, an opensuse client and a win 7 client. 24 hours without a problem:) 1. We have got as far as deciding where roaming profiles should go. In 3.6 we had them inside the users home folder. Someone said that was not good. Going with the Samba 4 wiki, we put them in

On a windows server there is a local profile by default unless you tell it to have a roaming profile. I want to have the same thing happen. All the machines say that they used the local copy then a couple seconds later it says it could not copy to the server and any changes will not be saved. I know that I could let it be a roaming and switch it to a local later but in a larger

Is there a way to disable Roaming Profiles on a Computer, with logon scripts or policy files? I have a network with W2K Workstation clients, but we also have a WinXP Pro computer that we must use and cannot install Win2K.

Hi list At the momtent I use samba as a pdc with tdbsam as passwd backend. I plan to use ldap and I already tried it out. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to disable roaming profiles.
