Using samba 3.0.8 and Suse ES 9.0 I'm having problems getting roaming profiles/local profiles and logon scripts on a Win2k or WinXP workstation working correctly. My bdc is supposed to be doing the authentication against my PDC\LDAP server. Even when I enable Only allow local profiles on the XP machine it will logout a domain samba user with a sorry no roaming or local profile available

In my Workplace we have samba 3.0.3 running on our server with Clients ranging from WinXP and Windows 2000 to MacOSX and Linux. After a server crash, and having to rebuild our Authentication server we have had a problem where specific Windows PC's will point to the same profile for all roaming users. The "set" command returns USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and

Hi, we have recently installed samba and it all works fine on our cabled network. We are using roaming profiles. Logging on is running at pretty quick speeds (no slower than my PC used to be logging on to Novell without roaming profiles). We also have a wireless network that is running on a different subnet and is connected to the main network using a vpn tunnel. The delimiting factor here

Hi, I'm currently running an * version 1.2.13 and sox version 12.17.5. I want to upgrade sox to the newest release ( 12.18.2 ); need mp3 support. But how do I make the upgrade. Do I need to recompile asterisk afterwards? If I make a " sox -h" after a reboot I can see the new version is running but is that enough? _________________________________________________________________

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

Hi, I posted this problem a while back but wasn't able to resolve the issue. It's gotten worse--now almost all of my users in the network have the duplicate icon problem. I'm recently upgraded to samba-3.0.23d from 3.0.21 on an OpenBSD 4.0 server. I'm using folder redirection to redirect the Application Data, Desktop, My Documents, and Favorites folders off to

I have a network of Windows XP desktops, and a Samba PDC server, in an ideal world i'd like to have single installations of applications on a samba shared device, and also if possible a default start menu profile with the applications already added... is such a setup possible? Right now I'm using roaming profiles... (I think?) If it's possible could some smb.conf examples or urls

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

Hi, I'm recently upgraded to samba-3.0.23d from 3.0.21 on an OpenBSD 4.0 server. I'm using folder redirection to redirect the Application Data, Desktop, My Documents, and Favorites folders off to /profiles/username on the server. Two users now have duplicate file icons on their desktops. For example, if there is a file named test.doc in the /profiles/username/Desktop directory on

We have been directed to move off a SAMBA domain to a server 2003R2 domain. We run roaming profiles with samba and would like to continue this on 2003R2. After bringing all the XPSP3 desktops into the 2003R2 domain, roaming profiles wont work. I'm not even trying to use the SAMBA generated profiles. The error I get when logging on is: *Windows cannot locate the server copy of your

Hi all, I'm using samba 3.0.2a with openldap as PDC with roaming profiles. one xp client has only been able to load the profile from the server after I set "nt acl support = yes" for the profiles share. Now the problem is that this xp client writes everything directly into the profile folder on the server, instead of doing this when the user logs off. Thanks in advance for any

Thank you very > much for your time... With samba-2.2.x the choice you have is to enable or disable roaming profiles support. It is a global only setting. The default is to have roaming profiles and

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

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

I'm gonna try to give as complete a description as I can. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction, as I haven't seen anything exactly like this. I'm attempting to switch from Workgroup to Domain at work. On a couple machines I did fresh installs of XP, used the registry patch, and succesffully got logons, roaming profiles working. However, when a user attempts to open
