Hi ! I hope that someone will be abble to help me with the problem I get with my samba machines, though it is not really a samba problem. Here is the config I use : I'm running a samba controler on a rhel 5 machine (rpm -qa says samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5) which acts as a domain controler. My machines, all windows XP use to be connected to this controler. I have no problem with them. The problem

Hi folks, I've been reading the definitive guide to samba3 and Samba3 by example as well as scouring on line for advice. Sometimes however I find different suggested solutions to the same problem, so perhaps the list can give me some help with current strategies for these issues. We are a small office and are currently going through an IT refurb. Previously we've had a mix of laptops and

Hi All, I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find anything recent. Using Samba4 and windows clients, the client logs include lots off 'windows has detected that offline caching is enabled on the roaming profile share.......' messages. Is this an issue and if so, how do I sort it? I've found references to 'csc policy = disable' but this is not recognised

Hello, I'm quite new to Samba administration and I've inherited a working samba setup with roaming profiles however the login and logout times for users has been growing and I'm starting to think it's time do something about it. I'm thinking redirect some folders to a samba share on the network will speed up the login and logout times. Our setup has 25 Windows 7 workstations

Hallo, I wonder if cached credentials local logins are expected to work with samba. I have users with notebooks that I want to be domain members. If the notebook is in the wild I want the users to use their profiles (either local or roaming) stored on the notebooks. But once disconnected from the network the users can't login. I found a thread:

I have a linux box running samba configured as my PDC with roaming profiles. Everything was running great until I upgraded to WinXP instead of Win2K. Now, when I log out of my XP session, my profile doesn't get uploaded to the server. The local copy remains in effect until I reboot. When I log out, the following message gets sent to the event logger: [quote] Windows has detected that

Hi Samba4 DC and win 7 clients. The user profiles are stored in a profiles share: [profiles] path = /home/CACTUS/profiles read only = No This works OK and the user can logon to different boxes with the same profile. The profile folders such as Desktop, Downloads etc. however, also appear stored on the local disk under c:\users\username. Any file saved e.g. on the Desktop, is not

Is there any reason to believe that a samba server would be slower when serving up roaming profiles than a real Windows server? I know roaming profiles are slow by nature and that there are things you can do to help like configuring ffolder redirection. But all else being equal, how would a samba server compare to a Windows server when it comes to speed specifically with respect to roaming

I'm currently using roaming profiles, with quota, and with a careful exclusions from profiles by folder redirection and 'HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

Samba 4.0.4 installed, provisioned by classicupgrade, running on Debian Squeeze: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The issue is, that changes to the roaming profile is not transferred after log ins/outs between Win2K and XP machine. In example: I log into the W2k machine with my testuser and create a "testdir1" and "testdir2" on

Hello, When a notebook joins a domain, it creates a new (roaming) profile for the domain user. XP sees this user (Domain\User) as someone different from the local user (Hostname\User) which existed before. Is there a way to reconcile these two personalities, while keeping the profile as roaming, so the user can both use different computers in the domain with his roaming profile, and also use

Hi, I have a domain controller which was configured to use the local profiles. We have a relatively small group whose work required it. Now we are moving toward using the domain for all machine with roaming profile. There are a lot of posts dealing with the roaming profiles and the folder redirection. But I've met some issues. My configuration: NS3 and SMB are hostnames of our servers.

Hi, i'm new in the mailing list :)... I have a little question... Is there any way to enable folder redirection for some folders like My Docs, or Desktop without using roaming profiles? That's all :P Thanks

Hello. I see a lot of people having this problem, but found not solution so far. The setup: samba 3.0.37 on FreeBSD 7.3/i386 acting as PDC; a similar BDC (only amd64) and XP clients. Users have roaming profiles on the PDC. What happens is: _ a laptop user disconnects from the network (so the local and server profiles are fully synchronized); _ at home [s]he deletes some files; _ back in the

I've got some annoying Problems with roaming profiles. Perhaps someone is able to help me... I would like to use Samba as a PDC and for storing NT roaming profiles. When I first installed Samba 3.02 and XP SP1 (Before that I used Samba 2.2.8a and XP without SP1), XP downloaded the old profiles it found. But upon shutdown or logoff, changes to the profiles were not written to the server. I
