I have a very perplexing issue with a client machine running XP Pro connecting to a Samba PDC running Samba 3.0.23d. When the user logins, and clicks on the Start Button, none of the icons that normally show up on the left side are there. The name of the user is at the top, and you still have the button for All Programs, but none of the normal icons are there. The user can't run programs

Good evening all, I'm running samba 2.2.2a on RedHat 7.2 as a PDC and until today all was well. One of my users upgraded their workstation to Windows Xp pro and although they received a message "Welcome to the domain" when they try to log on they receive the message that the domain comptroller cannot be located to validate their account. The workstation show up in the browse list.

Hi, Yesterday I found big problems concerning my roaming profiles. They seem to work on some computers where they are always used, on some other the did not load properly (i.e. a default profile was loaded instead). After some debugging with userenv.log I found the very strange problem: case sensitivity for ntuser.dat!: [...] IsCentralProfileReachable: Testing <F:\testuser\ntuser.dat>

I am seeing these in smb.log and each time I do it appears that the user in question is unable to retrieve their roaming profile. Does anyone know what is going on and more importantly, how to cure it? . . .

Hello! I am running samba 3.0 on fc2 in a win2000 network. I want to use only mandatory profiles in the network, but can't get this to work properly. I have set up a "perfect user" on my local machine", and copied this profile to \\server\netlogon\Default User. I have also made this default profile mandatory by renaming ntuser.dat to ntuser.man. In smb.conf I have added:

I need a little advice on finishing off a Samba PDC. I have Samba 3.0.0RC1 installed and working as a PDC on a Redhat AS 3.0 machine. It authenticates users nicely but the "roaming" profiles don't work. Tailing the samba log, I see the an attempt to access the users ntuser.dat file, which doesn't exist before the first logon, when logging in. The profile directory

Hi I have a problem with the cmd : profiles. I want to change the sid in a ntuser.dat. I have already read many message in mailing list who explain how to use profiles but it's dont't work. i use profile like this: profiles -c S-1-5-21-my-old-sid -n S-1-5-21-my-new-sid ./ntuser.dat on the output i see the new sid like i want but the change take no effect on the file when i do

Through much help from a guy in my local LUG I found the solution to making roaming profiles work on Win2000 (SP4). 1) You should have SP4 installed. 2) Two registry changes are needed: Use regedit and change the following two dword attributes to 0 "requiresignorseal" "signsecurechannel" 3) Run the group policy editor "gpedit.msc" and enable the

What are the implications of locking the ntuser.dat file on the user's server profile? That is, if I make the ntuser.dat file read-only, what affects will that have on the client?

I'm trying to move some roaming profiles from Domain A to B. All of the profiles are from XP SP3. The originating machine is Debian 5/AMD64, samba 3.4.5 from Debian packages. The destination machine is Ubuntu 9.10, but x86. From everything I've read and found online, `profiles` is supposed to work for XP with no problems. When I attempt to do a SID change on NTUSER.DAT, I get

Hi there, again me, again similar question. First of all, what is it, what I'd like to have: 1.) Every user in my System should use the same profile. In dsa.msc I gave every user as profile-path \\samba4\profiles\stud 2.) The users should not be able to change anything in that profile (I think changing ntuser.dat to ntuser.man should do the job, proposed i got step one managed ;) )

Following TOSHARG and "Samba 3 by examples" I implemented Folder redirection plus some security restrictions by building a custom NTUSER.DAT which is the default profile of my users. The problem is that each user has read/write access to its profile share therefore he can replace its NTUSER.DAT. This is why I chose mandatory profiles. Is there another solution? The problem with

Well, I put it here. All the experience gained in about-half-an-year-management of Samba-PDC + numerous NT4 workstations is included. Also, I'd be glad to hear from you what did I miss! 1) when NT4-workstations are organised into "domain", there's some action assosiated to this: "to log into domain". samba ain such case acts as PDC (primary domain controller),

Dear R-help, I managed (thanks to the R2PPT package) to create a PowerPoint presentation and create a table in it but for the life of me I can't find a way to populate the table with values and text. I'm aware of the function 'PPT.AddDataFrame' which creates an Excel object from a data frame, but the excel object is not nearly as nice looking and easy to manipulate (and apply

Hi all, I have gotten the 'profiles' command to work for NT and Win2K profiles very well. In Windows XP, I am able to change the 'owner' but not the 'group' SID. It gives no errors but it just doesn't change them. A snippet of the profile in question is below: furnsrv:/data/samba/profiles/jon # profiles NTUSER.DAT |grep S-1-5 Owner SID: S-1-5-32-544 Group

Hello, i have a problem with the samba profiles binary. I want to change the sid from some XP user profiles (ntuser.dat) to migrate them from NT4 to Samba3.
