similar to: PDC will create new roaming profiles but fails to load them on subsequent logons

Hi everyone. I am running samba version 2.2.4-1 and using samba as a PDC for about 30 windows 2000 machines. I set it up and it works at times, (users can log in to different machines and there settings appear the same), however, sometimes for no apparent reason the following error messages appears on windows when a user logs on.... "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile.....

I experience pb with roaming profiles when laptops are used offline. When connected to the network everything works fine. Here under is the problem description. All the users of my company use laptops. They often work offline. Desktop components (My Documents files, Desktop files or folders, ...) are sometimes deleted by the user while working in offline mode that means, not connected to any

hi ! thanks now I have my samba up and running fine. I have it configured as a PDC, and all the roaming profiles work, the management, etc. it's all fine. now, the client that I'm working for, told me ( after some days of making it all work ) that he sees that the use of roaming profiles in his network is useless. ok now, he says no roaming profiles ! I have searched around the network

Hi list At the momtent I use samba as a pdc with tdbsam as passwd backend. I plan to use ldap and I already tried it out. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to disable roaming profiles. I used the smbldap tools. First there is the question if I should use add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" with the -a (is a Windows User) option. If I don't, then windows account

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

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

<expletive deleted> My roaming profiles keep "forgetting" they exist on my W2K boxen. It doesn't occur server-side, as other W2K clients log in fine. But, once one of the clients has forgotten about roaming profiles, it usually takes a re-install to make it remember them... and then, only temporarily. (Except on one machine that's worked fine from the get-go.) I even

Hi, This is my first post to the list, so iam hoping luck is with me :) Ive run samba as a simple smb fileserver for over a year, but never needed to do any more than provide shares to users (who always use the same machines). However Iam not in need of running samba as a PDC for some windows 2000 machines, and need to use roaming profiles. This is where the problem sets in. Ive set up a nice

Hello everyone, I am trying to find out if the following is possible: I a HOME domain setup at home running on samba. I also have a WORK domain setup at work. Both of these domains are using remote profiles. Since I recently added VPN support to the server at work, I want to explore the possibility of checking of the "use dialup connection" in my Win2K login screen and login using

Hello, I use a Samba 3.6.12-59.23.1-3256-SUSE-SL12.3-x86_64 coming with openSUSE 12.3 as a PDC. I also use roaming profiles with Windows 7 Pro clients. This works perfect. Now I need to _move some clients_ / profiles to another server with Samba 4.1.9-3.22.1-3256-SUSE-oS13.1-i386 (openSUSE 13.1). This one works already fine, but with different users. So I can exlude mistakes in my

Hi All, I am having some trouble getting Windows XP with SP2 connected to a Samba 3.0.10-based domain controller. With SP1, I only had to change a single registry key to prevent Windows from demanding a signed connection, then it worked. But with SP2, and the same samba-configuration, I have noticed that upon log-off, the user's profile is updated by the user "root" of the group

Hello, I'm using an openSUSE server with Samba Version 4.1.18-3.33.2-3407 and Windows 7 Professional clients for years without problems. Now I have 5 PC with a freshly installed Windows 10 Professional on it.

Since years I have a Suse Samba PDC running with Win2000 and WinXP clients. Now I tried to add 2 Win7 clients and I'm having a problem. Win7 don't load my roaming profiles, Win7 always logged in to a domain user using a temporary profile. First I upgrades to Samba 3.4.2 (Suse 11.2), than I set the registry entries according Samba wiki: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 Now I was

Hello, I'm about to deploy Samba PDC and several BDCs. As far as I understand Samba and domain logons, this means that a user will be able to log onto any server, with his workstation choosing a domain controller that is probably the closest/fastest etc. one. As a consequence, this also means, that on each server there has to be a copy of a profile of a given user, right? If so, how can

Hello, After a great deal of tweaking, I finally got the Samba server working, so that it would accept domain logins. However, the problem I now have regards roaming profiles, which refuse to function. After successfully authenticating the user, the following 2 messages appear: Message 1: ---------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on

Hello all! I am having severe problems with my Samba PDC. 1. My Roaming profile in 3 out of 10 times does not get synchronized correctly with the server - without any obvious reason. This sometimes destroys my profile by losing data and commonly from then on the profile is never again synchronized correctly. A backup restore of the computer is necessary. 2. When I edit a document (e.g. word

Hello, i must admit that i'm totally lost. After working a lot of hours my new samba server is still not running fine. I had read a lot of papers but i have no idea what's going wrong. My goal: --------- Samba 3.0.9 (Fedora Core 2) working as a PDC for windows 2000 professional client (with sp4 and all hotfixes applied) _with_ roaming user profiles. My status: ---------- *

Greetings! I have configured samba as a PDC. This works fine so far, I can add users, log in at my Win2k workstations and use roaming profiles. But now my problem: I want several "template" profiles. I want to use several different pre-configured base-profiles. 1) I configure a template-user: configure the corresponding Desktop, network and printer connections and so on. 2) After this
