similar to: Odd random roaming profile issues

We are migrating all of our users from the current domain to a new one we created. In this process we are moving them from roaming profiles to local. What would be the best practice to accomplish this? I can find plenty of writeups on how to do the opposite. Also we will be doing some extra folder redirection. Currently we only redirect their my documents to the server. On the new system we plan

I'm running Version 4.1.17-Debian as a DC on a Debian/Jessie AMD64 system. After rebuilding a domain with slightly different settings, roaming profiles stopped working. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Implementing_roaming_profiles contains a suggestion (see Troubleshooting roaming profiles) that gets them working again - deleting the user subkey from

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

I'm testing samba 4 (pulling from git) on my ubuntu 10.4 box and have a bunch of questions I can't seem to find answers for on the web. 1) There is some problem with my roaming profile such that windows complains and logs me in using my most recently saved profile. I've tried moving my profile on the server out of the way, but windows doesn't seem to recreate it. How do I make

Hello, Currently our mail server is setup to use postfix and dovecot, which is fine except it is setup to use mbox format mail. That and procmail as we need to move to sieve but that is a different issue. I have searched until blue in the face and cannot find a 100% working solution that doesn't require alot of manual interaction to move the mail boxes from mbox to maildir. I have

Dear *, I''m more used to work with RedHat like OSes. Still, I did not denied the request from a user who wants a domU based on ubunto. I usually use virt-install to do the job, with a script similar to this one: #!/bin/sh BASE=SL-4.7-i386-pv \ virt-install --nographics \ --nonsparse \ --paravirt \ --noreboot \

We recently migrated our install from an ancient fedora 11 install of samba and openldap to a centos 6.3 setup with its openldap and samba. The domain has been totally recreated from scratch as the person that did the previous setup has not been employed here in many years. After fighting with shares for a while we mostly got them fixed and working. However the biggest issue now is when our GIS

I am looking to move our current Samba primary domain controller to a new machine. The current machine is EOL, running Fedora 11 (old), and had way too many services on it to start with (mail, dns, samba, mysql replication, primary ldap, etc). I am looking to move to a Xen domu with either Fedora 13 or Centos 5.5. What my question is is this: what should I look for when I migrate the samba

Hi all, I have a problem with my PDC - BDC LDAP setup with roaming profiles. Both are in the same network. Both servers get the user homes and profiles from a NAS so they are always up to date. I configured to get the profiles and the homes from the logon server like logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon home = \\%L\%U The home directories work as expected. %L is translated to the logon

We are currently looking at upgrading our PDC which is currently Samba 3.4.7 with OpenLDAP backend for authentication. As it stands we are only wanting to move it to new hardware and possibly run the latest 3.X.X branch. However one of my co-workers suggested why not look at samba 4. We understand it is still in alpha but from what we read it is ready for production use. As some background

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

Hello I want to add Win7 machine to my Samba PDC with WinXP clients. Google tells me I have to add a .V2 to my profiles. The samba log ask about a .v2 share. Can someone explain me the difference of the v2 extension at the profile names and the roaming profile share? Following my settings: smb.conf: [global] logon path = \\%L\nt-profile logon home = \\%L\nt-profile [nt-profile]

Hello, The below happens with Samba 4.7.* (didn't checked with other Samba 4 versions): Setup: Samba 4.7.* AD, two domain controllers, 'computer A' and 'computer B' are Windows 10 domain members. 1. A user (login 'username') logs in into domain for the first time, on a 'computer A'. Samba DC doesn't find existing profile directory and creates an empty

In the comming months we will be setting up a few new machines to replace our PDC and BDC that are currently running Fedora 11 with Samba 3.4.7 and OpenLDAP 2.4.15. We will be upgrading to the latest Fedora with samba/ldap. With this we will be recreating our domain fresh to get rid of alot of old junk not needed and add in new features. We do use roaming profiles also. My main concern is this:

I had previously tried to migrate our PDC to a new machine by simply copying the config over and such. That failed miserably but luckily the various home servers (BDC's in samba speak I think) took up the slack. So after much debate, this weekend we moved the PDC back to the original machine. We never moved LDAP off of the original machine, as only samba functions moved. I now know I did

Hello all, We have just concluded a very drawn out test of our domain that is having some trust relationship problems with Windows 7 desktops. Here is a breakdown of our setup: roark PDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN 2 archives3 BDC running samba 3.4.7 (also has OpenLDAP) on VLAN2 arrowhead BDC "home server" running samba 3.4.3 on VLAN 9 archives4 BDC

Hi, we're using Samba 3.5.6 (Debian). Windows 7 clients often create new roaming profiles for existing users for no identifiable reason. Windows XP isn't affected. Is this a known problem? - Chris
