similar to: roaming profiles and folder redirection: programs 'not responding'

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

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

Hi, i'm new in the mailing list :)... I have a little question... Is there any way to enable folder redirection for some folders like My Docs, or Desktop without using roaming profiles? That's all :P Thanks

[I post the same message on Ubuntu forum] Hi, I need help to fix a problem with Samba as PDC and Folder redirection on a Roaming Profile. I know it's not the best place to post this, but I don't know any better place. So if you have suggestion, tell me. Here my problem : I'm in a testing environement with a Samba server setup as a PDC with some share (netlogon, profiles) to support

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 a domain controller which was configured to use the local profiles. We have a relatively small group whose work required it. Now we are moving toward using the domain for all machine with roaming profile. There are a lot of posts dealing with the roaming profiles and the folder redirection. But I've met some issues. My configuration: NS3 and SMB are hostnames of our servers.

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

Hello! I know that this topic belogs more to Windows 7 than to Samba. But perhaps some users had the same problem already and could give some help. I used folder redirection for an existing roaming profile as described in http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold All works fine. But the localized geman names of the libraries changed after the first relogon as

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

Hello, I've setup a samba PDC (3.0.31) and I am using Windows Vista clients. Logging on works fine using roaming profiles and folder redirections. I am also able to write to shares, etc. Now I am trying to get the advanced permissions on files to work. So on my share: [share] comment = Shared directories path = /samba/share read only = No guest ok = Yes With the following user rights

Hello, I set up Samba as an AD-controller as described in the documentation, that is with "samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive", https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO. I used Debian 7.8 as basis and the current packages (last Friday) from Sernet for Samba 4.1. Now I try to set up roaming profiles as described by Microsoft here:

After searching Google for many days/weeks, I've discovered that apparently NO ONE on the planet uses Windows 8 w/ roaming profiles and Samba!

Hello, I have non-roaming users (that is, they have their own PC / place where they sit and they don't change it). They use roaming profiles though - mainly because the profile is uploaded to the server, and then uploaded as a backup somewhere else. Now one of our IT staff is forcing the idea that these non-roaming users should have mad folder redirecting (that is, keep My documents and

This problem has several elements but it did not evidence itself until we moved from a MicroSoft AD-DC to a Samba AD-DC. The environment is is a FreeBSD-10.3 Bhyve VM hosted on a 16 core host also running FreeBSD-10.3. The version of Samba is 4.3.11 obtained through FreeBSD ports. The AD clients are all running MSWin7pro patched up-to-date. Roaming profiles are in use. We have an intermittent

Before last week, we have been running Samba 3.0.28 on Ubuntu Hardy as a PDC for Windows XP Pro machines using roaming profiles. This has worked for years with no issues. We migrated to a server running Ubuntu Lucid and Samba 3.4.7 so that we could start adding Windows 7 Pro machines to the domain. We first moved servers/samba versions and worked out a few kinks with the XP machines.
