similar to: fixed delay logging onto Samba3.3 from Vista Business

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody has experienced a fixed delay about 30-40seconds while logging onto the samba domain running samba version 3.3 from Windows Vista Business Cheers, Abey

Help please, a file server was upgraded from: Mandriva 2007.1, Samba 3.0.24-2.7mdv2007.1 to Mandriva 2008.1, Samba 3.0.28a-2.1mdv2008.1 and it broke something badly. After the upgrade logins from all XP workstations broke - some of the time. For an existing account (one with a profile already in the home directory) sometimes it will login normally. Well, almost normally, it never seems

I recently ran into a situation where a Samba upgrade apparently broke the machine records in the smbpasswd file, with the resulting symptom that domain logons on those computers would fail about 95% of the time. (A very strange symptom, how it worked sometimes is still a mystery to me.) Similarly, this would fail: % smbclient -L saf01 -U 'saf/mathog%(password)' session setup failed:

I am trying to automate W7 joining to our Samba domain. It works fine through the Windows GUI from the W7 workstations. However, for a script one would have to store password used for domain access, and since that is the server's root password, I really don't want to hard code that into a file. Is there a way to set (temporarily) a Samba server so that it will accept (admin/anything) as

A samba server (2.0.2 linux/intel) is the primary domain server for "SAF". 5 workstations (nt 4sp3 intel) belong to this domain. In order to trash the event viewer, do the following: As administrator: 1. select any file (on C:, this has nothing to do with samba file sharing) 2. properties 3. audit 4. add at this point it tries to look up the users in SAF, fails, and Dr. Watson

I recently took over maintenance of a linux computer which is drawing power from a "Maruson Power Net 1500" UPS. However, there is currently no monitoring or control of the UPS by this (or any other) computer. Can nut control this device? There are serial, usb, and EPO connectors on the back of the unit. (There may be a manual but I'm going to have to hunt for it.) Thanks, David

Hello all. I have a Samba 3.5.4 server that we're attempting to join to an existing Windows 2008 ADS. Doing "net ads join" seems to go ok, and a follow up "net -P ads testjoin" says we're OK. However... at this point, doing "wbinfo -u" or "wbinfo -g" returns no data (the programs exit with erro code 0, and no output). Attempting to log into a

Hi, In samba logs I see these entries. {"timestamp": "2024-03-22T17:00:13.553400+0530", "type": "Authentication", "Authentication": {"version": {"major": 1, "minor": 2}, "eventId": 4624, "logonId": "d42e868adc3300ef", "logonType": 3, "status":

I'm wondering what the difference is between the two wbinfo functions, "getdcname" and "DSgetdcname". The help is not very helpful here: --dsgetdcname /|domain|/ Find a DC for a domain. --getdcname /|domain|/ Get the DC name for the specified domain. I have a Samba4 PDC that is returning different results for these depending upon whether it's run on the

Setting up nut on a system where an LVM volume holds the root filesystem.. What is the appropriate device form to use with "mdadm --readonly" in halt? This is on a CentOS 5 system. So far I have found three possibilities, but I do not know which one (if any) will still be valid that late in the halt procedure: 1. /dev/md0 (from posts on the net) 2.

This is a bit off topic, but I'm looking for a convenient way to manage N "identical" Windows PCs, using as much as possible 1 command to do the same thing on all of them. The capabilities I'm looking for, preferably in a single tool are, given a designated master machine and N clones of that master: 1. Compare all (or to a specified depth) files below some directory on the

Just in case anybody else ever needs these, here are my semi-automated powershell cloning scripts for Windows domain clients for Samba domain servers. ftp://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/windows/Cloning.zip They are not very polished, but do what I need, and could serve as a starting point for other sites. These have been tested only on XP SP3. These scripts do not use sysprep, so the

Our XP SP1 (patched with everything but SP2) workstations are logging events like: "Windows has detected that offline caching is enabled on the roaming profile share - to avoid profile corruption (etc.)" Following some goodle threads this was added to smb.conf (attached) csc policy = disable but the event still occurs, although only when something has been saved to the profile before

I have a couple of Windows Vista Computers that i freshly (re)installed, updated to SP2 + all updates, and joined to my domain... i also got an empty profile on the server (the storage folder is there, but there are no files inside) When i log into the domain Windows creates all files and folders just fine and stores a cache of that profile in c:\users\username (like it should), And when i log

Yesterday I migrated a Samba server from one machine running Samba 3.0.13 (on Mandrake 10.0) to another running 3.0.20-3 (on Mandriva 2006). The contents of: /etc/samba/* (all the .conf files) /usr/local/samba/private/* (secrets.pdb, smbpasswd) were moved intact from one machine to the other, as was all of the user data. I even checked md5sums - no changes to any of the samba files. Then

Hi, I am trying to join a microsoft AD domain using RHEL 5.3. I tried with the default Samba release (provided by redhat) with no luck. I've just upgraded to Samba 3.3.6 (using http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/recent/rhel/5/x86_64/) but it still fails. The AD domain is "example.domain.org" and has its own DNS servers. My /etc/resolv.conf file redirects DNS queries to the AD DC DNS

Well this is even more interesting. Parts of the profile are not being saved back to the server, at least for existing users. For instance, 1. login 2. change the start menu to "classic view" 3. rearrange the desktop 4. logout 5. login again start menu is back as it was and it isn't classic view any more. Very strange. Wipe the test profile on the server and the copy on the

I was hoping that someone may be able to shed some light on some issues I'm having on trying to get an Asterisk test server up and running. At the moment I have the basics, two Polycom hard phones (301 & 601 with expansion unit (which oddly will not power up)) that can call each other, log into voicemail (one touch) and have custom directories & buddy lists. Unfortunately some of the

After doing some system work, including upgrading the Samba server to 3.0.28a from 3.0.24, upgrading the kernel to 2.6.24, and changing the firewall rulesk, the XP workstations which belong to that domain, the right click "run as ..." option is slow to bring up a dialog. The phenotype is this: right click some program (for instance, a shortcut to the "command prompt")
