similar to: Roaming profiles won't save changes

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

Hey all, I've got a few WinXP workstations logging into a 2.2.4pre (CVS from April 30th, around 8 p.m. PDT) PDC, and I'm having some sort of odd problem with roaming profiles. The XP workstations can successfully (it seems) retrieve and save thier profiles to the samba box; however, if I log off a user, say "gary", from one workstation, and travel to the next one, and log in

After almost 40 hours of work and testing over 6 computers I have finally figured out the answer to my problem of Roaming profiles not updating. This has occurred with SAMBA versions 2.2.* and later up through and including 3.0.2a (completely clean install in each case, including rebuilding domain, users and groups and smb.conf from scratch). It does not appear to be a SAMBA issue but one

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

Hello, this message is just FYI. We're using samba4 with bind9 on ubuntu-server-edition with roaming-profiles. We had to deal with unpredictable disconnections, that were most noticeable by the sudden dissapearance of all desktop-icons and often also led to the loss of edited data. The problem turned out, to be caused by dhcp-negotiation-delays due to heavy network traffic. Perhaps

Hi, This is driving me nuts!! Ok, this is a home network, so not many machines! I HAD 1 windows XP machine with local profiles for everyone - worked fine. I have now installed a linux box with SAMBA on it and I have 3 desktop PCs. I have set up roaming profiles (I think) correctly according to the How-To book. I initially had some trouble getting the local profiels moved to the server, but I

the reason why the wallpaper was not following the roaming profile is because i was not using bitmaps... check out this post: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-November/114588.html i am also quoting the last sentence on this web page: http://computertips.toups.info/roaming/RoamingXPPro.htm "There appears to be a problem where .jpg wallpaper does not appear to roam properly.

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.

Hallo, i use a samba pdc (3.020) and OpenLdap on a SUSE 9.3 Server. Everything works fine but the User have different PC's with French Language Environment and some with German Environment.

Ever since I upgraded Samba from 3.0.x to 3.4.x, and reconfigured it to support Windows 7 clients, I am having issues with roaming profiles on my Windows XP clients. All the machines have been rejoined to the domain, domain authentication appears to be working fine, the home drive is mounted ok, and the profile information is even read, but never updated upon logout. A user with no profile will

Hi. This seems to be a simple question: how can I configure a Samba server - and possibly some Windows clients of variable flavor (98, 2000, XP) - to have "roaming profiles by machines"? In smb.conf I had: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%m and [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 As I had permissions problems

Hello everyone. Well, I have a couple of questions regarding roaming profiles. I have been assigned the task of setting up a Samba PDC on our network. Lately, I have been doing a lot of research and reading to find out the best way I setup my system. I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask here, in hopes of getting some feedback. First, some details: The server will be Red Hat 8.0 with

Hello, i must admit that i'm totally lost. After working a lot of hours my new samba server is still not running fine. I had read a lot of papers but i have no idea what's going wrong. My goal: --------- Samba 3.0.9 (Fedora Core 2) working as a PDC for windows 2000 professional client (with sp4 and all hotfixes applied) _with_ roaming user profiles. My status: ---------- *

Hi list, In my current organization, we aren't going to be using roaming profiles (for various reasons, it's not desired). I'm moving us from no domain controller to Samba as a PDC (with an OpenLDAP backend), and I'm trying to make the process as invisible as possible to the end users. Each XP user's local desktop exists at: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>

Hey folks, I've been testing Samba 4 with some Windows 7 virtual machines and the Active Directory how-to instructions here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO. As far as I can tell, the instructions work exactly as described, except when it comes to roaming profiles. When I attempt to use those, the user can log in but gets a message warning that Windows could not load their

Hi All, I am having some trouble getting Windows XP with SP2 connected to a Samba 3.0.10-based domain controller. With SP1, I only had to change a single registry key to prevent Windows from demanding a signed connection, then it worked. But with SP2, and the same samba-configuration, I have noticed that upon log-off, the user's profile is updated by the user "root" of the group

Hi :) I'm working with Samba 2.2.5 (Debian unstable) and have been trying to get roaming profiles working correctly. My test client is NT4 (SP5) which is able to log onto the domain correctly, however even if I do things like change the background colour, change registry entries, put stuff on the desktop, when I log off the account, only some of the profile is uploaded. I say 'some'

Hello, I'm currently planning an environment which will survive any disaster like domain controller crash: PDC02 | VPN | switch | | PDC01 client01 PDC01 and PDC02 are domain controllers, and have identical smb.confs. client01 is a client, has WINS servers set to PDC01 and PDC02. users / passwords are replicated using LDAP. Now, under normal

Hi folks, I've got a bit of an issue with roaming profiles and I wondered if someone might be able to help please? :-) We've started rolling out Samba 4 across our network. Currently it's on 3 of our 4 sites, one site has two Samba servers and two sites have one Samba server each (well one site has two Samba 4 servers but one of the servers was an oldish test box which I'm
