So there seem to be some shortcomings in NTFS, still. 1. Symlinks are not supported. Proper symlinks exist in NTFS since Vista, so we should support them. 2. readdir() seems to be broken. I have been using the following test load to generate disk images: http://www.zytor.com/~hpa/syslinux/exttest-20140521.tar.xz Anyone who has been involved with the NTFS code who has a chance to take a

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. The interesting thing is that all else being the same, I do not encounter the same issue for Windows XP roaming

Hi All Our company got a Windows Vista installed laptop even though we ordered it with XP. Now I'm faced with the task of integrating the beast into our samba controlled domain. Something I was hoping to delay for some time. Our PDC is samba 2.2.8a with openldap 2.1.4 We also have a Domain Member Server running samba 3.0.10. There is a document on the Microsoft site that I downloaded

Hi all, I've got some problems with vista sp1 + samba 3.0.28a vista will not save the profiles nor load them. ! I'm all familiar with the .V2 thing. vista however does create the "profilename.V2" directory, but does not populate it with the data Xp machines work like a charm however. profiles path's are: \\<server>\profiles\testuser so the problem with the .V2 part is

Hi All, I just started really looking into deploying Vista in a Domain Environment and here is some info I gathered so far: With Vista, Microsoft Updated their "profiles" to version 2, thus Vista profiles will not co-exist with previous Windows profiles. To alleviate the need to specify a different profile for Vista, Microsoft decided to automatically add a ".V2" to the

Hello List, i have set up a Samba PDC and it is running smoothly. Now i would like to convert my Windows Vista Profile (which i have been using locale for months now) to a server profile. How i tried to solve this or convert the profile: 1) In the system properties of Vista you can "change" the type of the user profile. Unfortinatelly the server based profile is greyed out at my

Yes, if you're using roaming profiles Vista will automatically accept your login (if your PDC is configured correctly, check the firewall on the clients and server also, write/read access to the profile for the current user, but i guess these things were already said here but I'm only replying to your last question without having read most of the rest) The profile is not needed to be

Hi, I'm running samba 3.4.0 as PDC with a bunch of Windows boxes (XP, Vista, 7) on the domain. Unfortunately, I lost my passdb.tdb and secrets.tdb files and had to create the domain again on a new setup. Consequently, all domain computers had to be rejoined and all users had to re-enter their passwords. This must have caused major confusion on the clients / controller (I don't know which

Hi, I have some problems with DFS, too. I create a share (say, VistaShare) on Vista client, and have a DFS root = share (say, SambaShare) with the VistaShare. I also set appropriate = permission for the share. From windows XP, 2003 server, I can access the = share without a problem. But when I use the Vista client, I get permission deny message.=20 I set host "msdfs =3D yes" in global

Hi, I've set up a domain where some of my users are using mandatory profiles to logon to the network. However, I got one problem that just doesn't go away. When my users log on, they do not get the correct keyboard setting - even if it is the same as configured for the mandatory user + all other users on the client machine. Instead the users get the us-keyboard settings. Also the users

After update from 3.0 to 3.4.7 roaming profiles were not being saved on XP. Disabled ipv6 on our Samba server (some update must have re-enabled it) and rebooted. Now profiles on XP seem to be working OK again. Not so for Windows 7. This is a newly set up Windows 7 machine, registry fixes were applied as indicated here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 was able to join domain, and

Hello everyone, We are investigating migrating our Windows 2003 active directory domain to a purely Samba one. I am a relative novice to Samba. I have used it many times to do simple file and printer sharing on an individual or workgroup basis, but never in a domain environment. One of the things I need to find out how to do involves delivering Windows profiles. On our Windows network, some

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

Thanks for your reply. Compiler-rt was a problem. From the documentation I thought it was mandatory (so what is it used for?), but it was giving all those error about stdbool.h missing that I reported. Now things got better, but I have still problems. I receive an error that seems related to the fact that the grep command is missing. Is it possible? If grep is needed, how can I found it in

Hi, first of all: my name is uli... i'm from bavaria/germany and i'm working with linux quite a long time (maybe 10 years). Now my "problem": my samba is setup with ldap-backend. my configuration with mandatory profiles is working quite good. i created a Default User - Profile in my netlogon-share (migrated from a windows-xp client). ntuser.dat has been renamed to ntuser.man.

Hello all, I've been trying to figure out what the best way of doing the group policy thing is. We are running samba 3 on slackware 9 with winxp clients. We are a school. i'm unclear on how much AD is actually supported... OU GPO all that. so i decided to go the "administrative template" way (used to be .pol files) I'm thinking of having the students run off of a

Hello, We're working on setting up a SAMBA server, but it is not working. There is a standard configuration for our Windows Vista machines. With the previous configuration of Windows Vista ("Alice") it connects to the SAMBA fine. However, the latest Windows Vista configuration ("Bob") will contact the SAMBA server, send the required password then just stop communicating.

Hello, I have a PDC and a File (member) server for homes and profiles (Samba 3.4.17). For XP clients I have mandatory profiles with all user shell folders redirected to their respective home share. Now I'm adding win 7 clients to the mix and I want the same thing. It's (almost) working but I think my procedure is a bit dirty (i.e. I use "windows enabler" to build my ntuser.man
