similar to: Preference of local or domain profile

I have the Official Samba 3 and Samba-3 by example books, although not the second edition copies. But I can't seem to find out how to push out patches and hotfixes with Samba. Is this not possible at this time? I don't have a lot of experience with Windows but I am going to have to deal with this issue soon. I think I understand that pushing out policies is possible. Is Microsoft

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as

I would like to enforce a policy for a user being only able to login once anywhere in the Domain. When you use roaming profiles, the system gets confused and leaves the local profile on the client PC if the same user logs in on a second machine while they are still loggewd in on the first one. This then causes the Samba profile to NOT get updated on logout. If a user is currently logged on

Winbind seems to have broke my roaming profiles. I have a 3.0.1Pre1 DC on RH AS 3.0 running with Win2000 SP4 clients logging in. Remote profiles worked well and then I added: winbind separator = + idmap uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /home/win2000/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash Added it to nsswitch.conf and

Ok, I got the W2K3 resource kit tool to move my local profile to my domain profile (moveuser.exe). Didn't really work that cleanly. Even though I used the /k (keep the local account), it didn't really. It seemed to change the permissions on MOST of the files. It didn't really move the files either. It's just pointed my profile (or parts of it) to the existing folder. Can't

Hi there i have a issues with a Windows 7 Workstation it logs in successfully to the domain, but it doesn't creates the local profile user. On workstation I set the registry to: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System LocalProfile 1 REG_DWORD HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System ReadOnlyProfile 1 REG_DWORD To enable Local Profiles only. PDC smb.conf logon script =

I have a RH 6.0 (don't laugh) server I've set up. Hooked to the test machine its fine, but when I put in on the 3 machine network it did a few weird things: 1: Changed my Main User Profile on Machine #1 to what looks like a default profile. and When I login there no previous username in the Logon Box. (no windows Policies) 2: Crashes when Machine #2 of the machines logs in and is

Being that you SAMBA developers had to work so hard to reverse engineer the AD protocols. Will there soon be improvements and more full featured functionality in SAMBA now that you have access to more documentation? Is anything on the order of a fully feature AD clone in the works. Also, how do you dance around patented protocols? Can you still implement them? Do you have to avoid them?

Hi there, I try to move our W2K Domain to samba. I managed to dump a list of the old users with its SID's and created them on the samba domain which has the same sid like the old W2k domain. Then the users should be able to use their old roaming profile without changing the profiles sid. This works if the computer which acesses the domain has already the profile on its disk. If the

I'm having a problem with Roaming profiles in Windows XP with Samba as PDC. I've googled and trolled the mailing lists and read the Samba documentation. Problem: User logs onto domain from WinXP client and profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a long time and lights on hub are lit up). However, unless that user is in the admin group locally, all/some of the profile

I'm trying to establish a two way non-transitive trust between a W2003 A/D box and our SAMBA domain. We are using smbldap so we can log in on any of the linux boxes with the same passwd. Samba is version 3.0.33 on Redhat Enterprise. It's easy to create the trust on the Windows side with AD Domains and Trusts but on the Linux side I'm not sure if I need to put the machine account

Recent list messages got me thinking... Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain? As I understand it, the "magic" line that tells Samba not to do roaming profiles is the smb.conf line: logon path = Which the line must exist, and must be set to null. But that is in the global section. So is there a way to support both local and roaming...

Dear all, I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Server 64-bit edition and I am trying to enforce Local profile for all users and below is my smb.conf file. According to the samba documentation, leaving the logon home and logon path values to empty will enforce local profiles, it worked. But, my main requirement is when users login their home directories are mapped and they appear in My Computer window so they

Hi! We are having some trouble after migrating from an NT4 domain controller to Samba 3: When there is no local copy of any profile on a workstation, a user can log in and his profile is copied from the server. When a second user logs in to the same workstation after the first one logged out, he sees the profile of the first one. That is, he actually used it. His profile isn't even read

I'm really struggling with ACL's and permissions. I have a share owned by a user (douglas). Douglas can read, write and create to the share: [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/samba/pub nt acl support = yes public = yes admin users = douglas write list = douglas I'm logged in to Win2000 as douglas. Through the security tab on Win2000 I add read and

Hi to all, i'm new to the mailing list, because i already searched the whole list and google fot this, but i could not find anything: I have set up a cute Samba 3 PDC as described here: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#id2498710 In fact the setup is nearly exactly the same. (I've just added one more share.) Then i used a XP client to load a local

Hallo, I wonder if cached credentials local logins are expected to work with samba. I have users with notebooks that I want to be domain members. If the notebook is in the wild I want the users to use their profiles (either local or roaming) stored on the notebooks. But once disconnected from the network the users can't login. I found a thread:

Hi there, SuSE 8.2 Prof.+Samba 3.0.3 / WinXP Prof clients: I made a script to create new users (creates homedir, sets permissions, creates personalized logon-batch, creates smbpasswd and something more). When the new user logs in for the first time from the client-machine (domain-logon, only domain-users, no local users), he gets default profile with the xp-style menus and so on. I tried

Hello, I have to migrate a network with a samba 2.2 PDC to a new host with a Samba 3.0 PDC. Samba 3.0 is up and running now. The only thing that makes me nervous is how to migrate the profiles of the old PDC to the new PDC. Unfortunately usernames/machine names will also change. The profiles are per user (not per machine) and will stay this way. The clients are win2K pro, winXP pro. Is it
