Hello, I have a big problem with a samba setup. After I tried the config option smb ports = 139 in the global section, 90% of the roaming profiles are not usable by the windows XP clients. Removing the smb ports options didn't help. No errors in the samba logfile. erasing the profiles seems to fix the issue, but I cannot afford losing all my users profile data! here is my smb.conf.

I didn't build our smb.conf file, but I've read tutorials on roaming profiles, and it seems to be set up correctly. I've included the text of that file at the end of this message.

Ever since I upgraded Samba from 3.0.x to 3.4.x, and reconfigured it to support Windows 7 clients, I am having issues with roaming profiles on my Windows XP clients.

A user with no profile will

Hi folks, I am trying to deploy an LDAP based Samba3 PDC, migrated from an old WinNT4 Domain to support roaming profile for new WinXP clients. But I do not want a full roaming profile. AFAIK WinXP profiles tends to grow. If possible, I would like to roam only the desktop settings, and maybe the navigator (IE or Firefox) configuration. Another important (I believe) information is that our WinXP

I had the same problem. We used samba 3.0.14 and upgraded to 3.0.20 After that profile were not loaded anymore. Th problen you are discribing looks like Windows is loading the local copy of your profile and after you deleted it it tries to load the profile from samba and fails.

Hi All, I've happily had Samba (3.0.24) operating as DC for my Win2k/XP network for years. I've just upgraded to Vista and eveything seems to be working fine (shares, domain logons) apart from roaming profiles.

I have a PDC named GOMER with IP 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG1 with IP 10.8.3.231, both in the domain ADAMSTEST. I have a user testuser who logged in successfully to GOMER and has a roaming profile in /var/lib/samba/profiles/testuser. So I changed the TCP/IP settings of the windows XP computer testuser uses from the WINS server of 10.8.3.37 to 10.8.3.231 so it would use BLDG1 for

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

Hi, I installed a SaMBa PDC and a BDC. When I log in to an XP client with a new user, sometimes I get the initial profile settings from the netlogon share, but often from local. When I get the local default settings, it is not syncronized to the server at logout. Even if I get the new profile from the server, on the same client, next time, with a new user, I get the new profile from local. I
