similar to: Move local profile to domain profile.

I have a strange issue with roaming profiles. It only happens for users which has no roaming profile on a Samba server yet. When a user logs out for the first time, some files can't be copied from: C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo\ to a profiles directory on the server. (Files like 31/2Floppy(A).lnk, some *.tmp files etc.). Only very rarely, a first-time logout process happens

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...

I have a Samba PDC and a file server (domain member). They are both running CentOS 4, with Samba3-3.0.24-30 and LDAP 2.3 (on PDC). Domain authentication seems to be running fine and file access on the file server works also. I have one share on the file server that gives me trouble. Whenever I access files from this one directory, the network seems to lock up for close to a minute. I get 64%

I submitted this question to the Postfix maillist and they suggested that I post to this one. Here's my issue: I have a Postifx email system running on a CentOS 4 box, with Dovecot pop3 and imap. Last week, one of my users reported to me that about a dozen emails suddenly showed up in his in box (as unread messages), but none of them were addressed to him. Under further investigation,

Hello all, I've installed samba on pretty basic install on centos 4.4. I'm running a P4 2.8Ghz, 1G Ram, Raid 5 SATA-2 disks running on both a 3ware and Highpoint Rocket raid (this is going to get swapped out for a 3ware card soon). When users copy files from a mac os x client I'm seeing the cpu load avg (in top) get up to 7. These copies included 150+Gigs of lots of smaller

I'm running Samba 3.0.10 as a PDC for Win XP Pro (SP2) workstations. User Outlook .pst files on desktop machines are (obviously) very important, and must be synced with server at logout for proper backup (which occurs on server). I've noticed that said Outlook .pst files are stored on the XP Pro desktops in a folder called: "C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local

I have Samba 3.0.24 running on CentOS 4 as a PDC with an LDAP backend. When I first set everything up, I could join workstations to the domain automatically with the Windows Network ID Wizard. Now when I try to join a workstation I get: Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error has occurred: The user name could not be found. If I add the computer

I recently set up a backup domain controller using Samba 3.0.23. I have a Samba PDC already running, and all is working fine, but once I added the BDC, now when people log in to their windows account, their home directory is now being mapped to their home on the BDC (which is empty) instead of the PDC. Conf files from each below: PDC Samba Conf: [global] unix charset = LOCALE

I have been having some problems since I updated from Samba 3.0.23 to 3.0.25b. I have installed the latest version of smbldap-tools but I am still not able to make certain changes to a user's account. I have created a new user named JROLFE. After I set up a new user, I will set it so they are required to change their password when they first login. I usually do this through LDAP Account

I have a working Samba PDC, I can log in and out from a windows xp workstation. I recently upgraded to 3.0.25b-33 and now, when I add a new user, I get: The system cannot log you on due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not fuctioning Please try again or consult your system administrator I have network connectivity. I was able to join this machine to the

Hello list. I have Samba working as a PDC, but when I try to join from a XP computer I get the message: "Access denied". The message appears right after I change the domain name in the XP network settings and the login window pops up. My smb.conf is: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN.NAME server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) obey pam restrictions = Yes

Just a heads up. I recently built a new (XPSP2) image with the Kaspersky 6.0.3.837 on it. I had issues joining the domain with the AV running. Had to disable. (A domain controller for domain ABC could not be contacted.....) I didn't have AV on my previous image, so I don't know if version 5 did the same. I don't recall seeing this on the list, so I thought I would throw it out....

Four years ago, I migrated our network from Windows NT based servers to Linux, Samba+LDAP based setups. This setup has worked fine. Last year, we replaced our Exchange 5.5 server - the last "real" Windows server - with Scalix. This last decision has come back to bite me. Several new "thingys" that the boss wants, among other things, are forcing me to implement Exchange

I just set up a Samba 3 PDC, and my users want to use their local profiles. Unfortunately their XP systems won't allow them to copy their existing profiles - that option grays out for their local accounts. Is there another way to accomplish this?

I've scoured the mailing list archives and the internet...has anyone actually figured out how to enforce strong passwords when using Samba and LDAP as a PDC? My users are allowed to change their Windows XP passwords, how do I enforce the use of strong passwords (either locally or globally)? -- *Jason Baker */IT Coordinator/ *Glastender Inc.* 5400 North Michigan Road Saginaw, Michigan

Hi, We have a linux/samba only domain serving files to about 16-18 Windows clients (mostly XP, a few W2K). PDC: SuSE OpenXchange 4.4 samba 2.2.8a openldap 2.1.4 Domain Member Server Fedora Core 1 samba 3.0.10 Currently the Domain Member Server uses the default passdb backend (/etc/samba/smbpasswd). Each user in the ldap directory on the PDC has a duplicate entry in both the

I'd like to start scanning our boxed up documents. I'd say about 30,000 files total. Mostly to eliminate the boxes of paper we have. I'd like to scan them, store them, Have some sort of index, and be able to retrieve them on multiple machines. I think PDF would be the desired format. I'd like be able to set some permissions as well. (not a deal breaker...) I've searched

I'm currently working on a streaming radio server that will be streaming randomized archive shows 90% of the time and then live shows 10% of the time. The solution I came up with was to have /main the archive mountpoint and have a /live for the live shows. What we want to do is use the functionality of icecast's moveusers.xsl to move them to the live at the specified time and have

Dear all, I have created two virtual machines on my computer (With Vmware 5.5.3). One is running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Samba 3.0.22. The other one is runnung a WinXP SP2 client (name: test01). I can browse the shares of the Samba Server. Furthermore I can connect to them with different user names. When trying to join the client to the domain I get an error message that the

Hello! I am migrating an old Red Hat Samba 3.0.9 server to a new Debian Etch Samba 3.0.23d with an OpenLDAP backend. I've got almost everything working with the new server except the roaming profiles. When a user logs off, Windows complains that the permissions are not correct and the profile can't be saved. I would LOVE to get rid of roaming profiles but that isn't an option
