Does anyone know how to setup the smb.conf file for the my document folder redirection in windows. If I point it to a root share, with a Microsoft file server, it will automatically create a folder for each user with a my documents folder under that. How can I get that to happen with a samba share. Using Debian Etch and Samba 3.0.24 and fairly new to samba. The default smb.conf makes mention

Hi all, I am going to be in the process of updating my custom system policy templates (probably within a month or two) and I am asking for what policies anyone is in need of to help them deploy samba as a domain controller. Currently I basically have a single template.adm file, a few people have asked me to separate them into a few different files that would serve an overall single purpose - I

Hello all Tomorrow is the day , I'm gonna migrate all our mailboxes and imap folders from our old mailhub to the new one. In the same time I will migrate from UW to Dovecot , I've read all the stuff about it on the Dovecot web site. I have one question , do I have to care about the .imap cache directory created by Dovecot in any way or will it be "all automatic" when starting

Hi, I think I have two questions - one which is samba and one which is windows policy files. I'll try to limit this question to the samba side but will give the full picture for completeness. I'm trying to implement a simple policy to redirect a few simple folders (for starters). I have a policy file called NTConfig.POL that is available on my share \\wilson\netlogon (wilson is the

Is there a way to create an NTConfig.POL file without having access to an NT4, w2k or w2k3 server? Is there a way to do it in linux? Or a winxp/9x workstation?

Dear Group, I'm using samba 3.x as a PDC, and I'm using linux system quota v2 for samba. Here is my problem: if a user copies a big file to the desktop (bigger than the quota set for that user), when he logs off, the profile wont syncronize with the server with the message "disk full". Is there a way to let the WinXp client to understand how much space is available also for

Hi Everyone. I've read a few posts (mostly a repeat of the same 2) on win7 folder redirection but I'd like to ask here nonetheless. What is the proper method for implementing folder redirection for roaming profiles in Samba3? -- Thanks, Phil

I seem to have solved the problem. While I had the 'wins' entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf of the samba machine, winbind wasn't installed, so it wasn't able to do a netbios lookup of the client machine. Since I fixed this problem, the 'not responding' problem didn't occur anymore. Greetings, Heiko 2008/8/10 Heiko Harders <heiko.harders@gmail.com>: > Hello, >

Hi folks, I running samba 3.x in PDC mode with an ldap backend. Works great! I use roaming profiles with folder redirection on win2k, no problem. Here's the issue, I have a few machines that run xp pro that I need to give the users domain access but NOT roaming profiles. So, I have disabled roaming profiles on the pcs by using the "no propagate changes to the server" and "only

Heiko, I suggest you concentrate on the re-directed folders - not the roaming profile - because the roaming profile is copied to the local hard disc when you log on - so throughout your session it is locally stored. You might try un-directing your re-directed folders one at a time (over a period of a week) to see which one appears to be affecting performance. Regards, David Collins On Sun,

We'd like to add an adm (administrative template) to our Samba4 server. I see where the .adm files are in the filesystem - /opt/s4/var/locks/sysvol/micore.us/Policies/{ED429C7D-156A-4F75-B21D-92DB8E10ACAB}/Adm/conf.adm - but how can I add a new ADM file? The ADM file in question allows the controlling of IE Favorites and a few other items on XP (not available in the default templates for

Hey List, I'm using Samba 3.0.24 and OpenLDAP 2.3.30 (with the ppolicy and smbk5pwd overlays). While testing Samba as a PDC with an OpenLDAP backend, I've hit a snag on password change. I currently have the following in my smb.conf related to password changes: passwd program = /usr/bin/ldappasswd -x -W -S -D uid=%u,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com passwd chat = "*Enter

Hello, I'm quite new to Samba administration and I've inherited a working samba setup with roaming profiles however the login and logout times for users has been growing and I'm starting to think it's time do something about it. I'm thinking redirect some folders to a samba share on the network will speed up the login and logout times. Our setup has 25 Windows 7 workstations

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hi everyone, I have had a few system freezes in the recent months (debian squeeze with vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem), with the following message in dmesg : CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -88 CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -88 It is the same symptoms as in the redhat bugzilla : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711400 It it mentionned that it is patched in redhat kernel

Using simple authentication I have been able to tie FDS to Samba 3.x.24. Knowing that the unix passwd and smb passwd are different, dare I ask how difficult it would be to have them sync? Most of my users are using netatalk w/ posix user info and MD5 password. I would like to swing this over to samba without the worries of two passwords per user. I have seen blips on this but not directly related

I'm running Samba 3.0.7 on SuSE 9.1 with OpenLDAP for auth. I've been mostly following along Terpstra's Book "Samba 3 By Example", as lots of other people here have been. The three big problems I'm having are: 1) After a Windows XP user logs out for the first time, upon next login they get an error message saying "Windows cannot log you in because your profile

Dear all, I have installed many PC infrastructures with Samba and Windows roaming profiles working successfully and fast with installations of around 100 users. But now, a customer of mine is asking if this is possible for around 1500 users. Of course I know it is possible, but I would like to know if some people here already did such an installation, if it requires more than one Samba
