similar to: Vista roaming profiles

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

Am in testing phase with just a few lucky users to go live with samba. However, I just had a thought. What happens when we eventually do vista? Seems like I may need to add %a to my path = statement, but it did not work. No profile was created for the user under the "windows version" directory.. Here's my testing smb.conf. Please have a look and see what I may need to do to

Hi, I know this question is FAQ, I set up samba PDF before and still run well, and now I need to create another PDC for another branch office.

I was just setting a Windows Vista machine up on my network and have the following problems. If the user logs into the domain, then there are no network drives showing. It is as if the script is not executing. If I logon locally with an administrator and then run '\\server-name' to get a list of drives, I can see them but nothing shows up in any of them except for two of the shares

I have a Samba PDC (Ubuntu 12, OpenLDAP 2.4.28, Samba 3.6.3), and at two remote sites, I have some Samba BDCs. For now I've manually entered the DCs as WINS servers on the workstations I'm using for testing. At the remote sites, I can log in with an account that has no logon path or logon home specified, and it works perfectly. But at the main site, when I try to log on to one of these

Hi All, I have recently successfully configured Samba 3.3.15 and OpenLDAP as my offices PDC. I would like to disable the roaming profiles capability but it appears that no matter what I said, it is being ignored by Samba.

Hi guys i asked about this a couple days ago but i'm guessing everyone glanced over it. So here's my problem. I have a SambaPDC with LDAP With WinXP i can join/login the domain fine. With WinVista i can join the domain but can't login to it after i join to the domain. It gives me an RPC failure. I noticed that it doesn't seem to even find the PDC. I don't even get any

Hi, I have a domain controller which was configured to use the local profiles. We have a relatively small group whose work required it.

Grettings, all I have a bizarre problem on a laptop in my Samba 3.3.4 domain. This domain includes a mixture of XP Pro and Vista Ultimate clients. I had just completed a migration to this new domain (from a Samba 2.2.8a domain), and all seemed happy and well - machines had rebooted and were still active in the domain, users were logging in with no problem, shares were working perfectly - all

Hello, I'm having an "Access denied" issue using roaming profiles for Windows Vista Ultimate RTM (patched to current). The actual login is successful, the full name is set properly and the password is handled correctly, however only a temporary profile is created.

Hi Dirk, thanks for your reply! I definatly want to go down the BDC route so that I always log on to the nearest server. The link between the two isn't really an issue - both have a DSL connection to the internet.
