similar to: roaming profiles

Hi list, I intend to run an old pentium 133 as a linux-based fileserver on my home network (I have to use windows for my main machine and laptop!) Im having great diffiuculty synching the data, email, etc on my laptop and desktop, so I thought I might configure samba to act as a DC and use roaming profiles to make sure that my data is always synched. My question is this: is it worth the effort?

Good morning everyone. I wanted to ask the people on this list who are currently using roaming profiles with samba 3 how it is working? I worked a little with roaming profiles with 2.2.8a, but it was not working as well as I wanted it to and im hoping that samba 3 roaming profiles are working pretty well. Our network here is really calling for roaming profiles to be a major option here. Our

Hi, i have a LDAP Master / Slave setup, but my roaming profiles are lying on the PDC. Whats the best method to keep the profiles in sync? Or should i use another FileServer for the profiles? what do i have to check in smb.conf for having profiles on a different machine? do i also need to move the netlogon dir? cheers juergen

Hi, I'm working on a server that was upgraded a few weeks ago (Linux Mandriva was reinstalled with a more up-to-date Samba version which is 3.3.2). Now, roaming profiles no longer work. I even wonder what would be the proper to way to test them. Workstations are running Windows XP. I followed the procedure for Win2000/XP located here:

I am on a rh 7.2 machinr running samba. My clients are windows 2000 and whn using locl profiles I experience quick log-ons and quicj log-offs. Whwn I flag the client for roaming profiles, it seems to take many minutes to log off. The users roaming directory IS created and is populated with their user inoformation, one user has 300M of stuff.Which I thought was alot. When the user goes to

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

I have a PDC named GOMER w/ IP of 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG2 w/ ip of 10.8.7.2. when someone on the 10.8.7.x network using the WINS server of 10.8.7.2 logs in and out, their roaming profile is stored on the PDC. is there any way to have the roaming profile stored on the BDC?, because I will have other 10.8.x.x networks and some of these remote sites will be using DSL and I don't

I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and Samba 3.0.1 and I can't seem to get roaming profiles to work right. When there are no profiles stored locally on the win2k machine, and a user logs in for the first time, it successfully reads the profile from the server in the \\netlogon\Default User share. Next, if you manually copy the profile to server and login to the workstation, it

Background on setup Here is some basic background of my setup I have 3 domains setup running over a IPSEC tunnel over the Internet with one PDC BDC and some file servers at each location all running samba (I am sorry I do not have the version number in front of me for samba) from SUSE enterprise 10 using the LDAP backend. There is a trust setup between all the domains and the IPSEC tunnels is

Hi everyone i have running 2.2.5 on RH73 and few days after i have upgrade all my roaming profiles have died !!!! in my error log i have constantly a messages saying: nmbd find_response_record: response packet id 32896 received with no matching record. nmbd/nmbd_responserecordsdb.c:find_response_record(234) and this is going on and on !!!!! I have moved my Roaming Profiles Dir to other place

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

Hi, I have Samba setup on a Debian server and have implemented roaming desktops for the windows clients. In this network, there are also LINUX clients that i would like to use roaming desktops and the users be able to access their home directory on the server when they login to one of these linux clients. Is this possible using Samba? And can anyone point me to a website/tutorial or any

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

using samba v3 windows xp sp2 clients. i have profiles working to some extent, that is when i create a new user on the server, when that user logs in, the profile gets downloaded from the server from the /etc/netlogon/default user directory. any customizations that the user makes work just fine and get saved to the profiles share under profiles/username when the user tries to go to a different

Hello friends, I am running Samba 3.0 on RHEL4 server. Around 200 roaming profiles are also configured and they login to XP machines. Things are working for us except in network rollout scenarios. We dont know how to roll out patches or some global changes to all the profiles. We have to visit each and every profile (loggin each of them) to do even the small changes. Today we have to map a

I'm configuring a new samba 4.1 server with NT4 style domain. I've copied most of the configuration from our working 3.6 server, making some changes as needed for the newer samba version. So far, I have been unable to get roaming profiles to work. It seems like the users cannot write in the profiles directory, but I don't see why not. Here is the relevant part of smb.cond [global]

Hi people. Im in need of help as far as roaming profiles are concerned. Allow me as I know this issue has been discussed timelessly but let me just ask it because I have been unable to get it to work. My Samba + Ldap setup is fine and XP users can authenticate alright. Im using samba 3.0.28. However when logging in for the first time, they get the message; Windows cannot locate a server copy....

Hi all I have a samba 3.0.21c with OpenLDAP 2.3.19 as Primary Domain Controller.

Does anybody have any insight into what could be causing this strange problem? I have Samba 3.02 (sorry, can't upgrade right now). My Linux box is running Mandrake 10 Official. I have Samba configured as a PDC. I can successfully add machines to my Domain -- and log on as ANY user from ANY machine. However on a SINGLE MACHINE, when I log on as USER_1 and access that user's roaming

Hello. I see a lot of people having this problem, but found not solution so far. The setup: samba 3.0.37 on FreeBSD 7.3/i386 acting as PDC; a similar BDC (only amd64) and XP clients. Users have roaming profiles on the PDC. What happens is: _ a laptop user disconnects from the network (so the local and server profiles are fully synchronized); _ at home [s]he deletes some files; _ back in the
