similar to: incompatibility between roaming profiles and winxp clients that didn't create them

Hello, After a great deal of tweaking, I finally got the Samba server working, so that it would accept domain logins. However, the problem I now have regards roaming profiles, which refuse to function. After successfully authenticating the user, the following 2 messages appear: Message 1: ---------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on

I applied sp1 and get a message saying that the "a server copy of the profile exists that does not have the correct security. Either the current user or the Administrator's group must be the owner of the folder." the owner of the profile is correct... It works again when I re-image back to pre sp1 there is an event in the security log saying... Logon Failure: Reason: An error

Ok, here's a simple question, (I just rejoined this list so apologies if it has been asked a million times before). Our Company runs SAMBA 1.9-18p1 from a USS (Unix System Services) on an IBM Mainframe. I used to have WinNT 4.0, and I could access Files on Windows Explorer through SAMBA with no problems. Now I updated one of my workstations to WinXP Pro., and - no access to the Samba

I have read through the mail archives to find a solution to my problem... to no avail. Here is the issue: I have a Samba 2.2.2 acting as a PDC, with Win2k I can join the domain and logon as a domain user. No problem. (So it is working and set up properly). With WinXP - Pro, I can join the domain, successfully. However, once I do the reboot I cannot logon as a domain user as I did with

I am new to samba but becuase I use squid and I want to track my authenticated users I installed samba 3 but keep hitting dead ends on how to add it to the domain etc. I can't seem to even get the smbd to startup. I got swat keying into the smb.conf but it ended up in another directory so I don't think that is configured. I can't even find good documentation to see if samba is even

I have a samba server acting as a domain controller. Is there a way that I can Have a script that delete the shortcuts on the desktop,quicklaunch and startmenu for Internet Exploder. At the same time installing Mozilla Fire Fox. Maybe like a little vbscript or something that gets ran from the server when they login. Thanks

Hi I'm running Samba 2.2.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.3, set up as a PDC. Logging in from Windows 95, 98 and ME all work fine; 2000 and XP give a "Password expires today" error every time, even if the password is changed. I have been through the archives several times and found a couple of instances of this problem but: - I have the X in the smbpasswd file (the section [UX ]) - I'm

Hi folks, I am trying to deploy an LDAP based Samba3 PDC, migrated from an old WinNT4 Domain to support roaming profile for new WinXP clients. But I do not want a full roaming profile. AFAIK WinXP profiles tends to grow. If possible, I would like to roam only the desktop settings, and maybe the navigator (IE or Firefox) configuration. Another important (I believe) information is that our WinXP

Hi everybody! I'm a samba rookie, and I'm trying to make my own roaming profiles. The situation is simple, a single debian samba server and a single windows xp client, with the signorseal value set to 0. I have my unix users with their home directories in /home/username, and I'd like them to have a windows login. Right now I don't care about mixing unix and windows

Hi! I was hoping someone had seen this problem, and might be able to help me out with it; I've tried the suggestions I found in the mailing lists and on web sites, to no avail. I'm running samba 3.0.2 on RHEL 3, and XP clients seem to occasionally have problems saving the roaming profile, resulting in error messages and the use of the local profile. The problem is when renaming

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 read as much as I can find about this subject and still am no closer to understanding why my roaming profiles are not working correctly. I have an existing Samba server with RP working. Now I need to move this to new server due to HW failure on original server. Configs almost identical. Profiles now reside on a different partition, but I' ve told samba where to find them.

Hello, My company has decided to upgrade everyone from win98 to winXP. So, I've begun the process of setting up a test network to test samba with winXP before the XP rollout begins. I downloaded samba-3.0b1 a couple weeks ago, compiled it, and started configuring it. For the most part everything has been a breeze. I have a winXP SP1a machine on the test network that currently sees

We've applied SP1 for WinXP on several machines and now roaming profiles don't work them. I tried swithching "nt acl support = yes" as previously mentioned on this list but this still doesn't work for us and we continue to get the following error: Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile

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

I have been running a Samba PDC with Samba version 3.0.0 on Redhat 7.3 for quite some time. My WinXP Pro SP2 system is part of the domain and everything has been working just peachy. And then, of course, I had to tinker with it. I upgraded the linux box to Whitebox Linux 3.0, a derivative of Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0. It comes with Samba 3.0.7. After installing and updating everything, I

Hi there I am setting up a PDC with Centos 5 + Samba 3.5.4 + Openldap with Roaming profiles using kixstart tools to mount shared folder and modifing some registry entries on windows workstations, The Roaming profiles works fine between Win2000 and WinXP. but when I tried to join a Win7 or Vista workstations i get mixed errors.

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
