Hi, Samba: samba-3.0.21 OS: OpenBSD I built a new WinXP (sp2 and fully updated) box with the the idea of making a Default User profile. I followed the directions in the "Making Happy Users" section of the Samba-3 By Example guide. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold Folder redirection is working, using the %LOGONSERVER%\profiles\%USERNAME%\

How to set up roaming profiles that samba doesn't download whole profiles, only necessary files ntuser.ini ntuser.dat eg. end rest of registry settings? I would like to setup profiles running (downloading) fast from server when clients login. Clients XP PRO SP3. Samba ver. 3.0.33-3.29.el5_5 Which file form samba registry should I use to force using roaming profiles :

I too have been experiencing the same issues with my Samba server and Windows 8. I am currently running Samba 4.0.3. My Windows 7 client's profiles are synchronizing, but I am receiving that same error on my Windows 8 machines. The user has full permissions over their roaming profile directory, so I'm not too sure what the issue is.

How do you enable local profile creation on machines connected to a samba PDC? I thought it would be automatic, but it doesn't seem to be. If there isn't a roving profile, windows complains it can't find your profile on the server, then instead of creating a local one, it throws up this message: "Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary

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

Hello, I've finally managed to get roaming profiles working (kindof). However some issues (after lots of googling) remain unresolved. Here's a summary of what I've done to date: 1) Setup samba shares according to gentoo-wiki.org <http://gentoo-wiki.org>(there were some problems with permissions etc after that but they're ok now) 2) Edited NTUSER of a foobar user account

Hi, Just a quick question about Roaming Profiles : Is there a way to force Windows to use Roaming Profils only on the share network, and without local copy ? I set Roaming Profile on a samba share with a GPO, but some users have a big profile so login is very slow Thanks Tom

[I post the same message on Ubuntu forum] Hi, I need help to fix a problem with Samba as PDC and Folder redirection on a Roaming Profile. I know it's not the best place to post this, but I don't know any better place. So if you have suggestion, tell me. Here my problem : I'm in a testing environement with a Samba server setup as a PDC with some share (netlogon, profiles) to support

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 All, Today I was able to implement Samba4 as a DC with AD in a test environment. I eventually got it all working and was able to join the domain from two different virtual machines. I was also able to set up a roaming profile share and configure a user to utilize this share. My issue is that when I first logged into the domain after setting up the roaming profiles I did so from a

Hello, I created a GPO Roaming Profiles redirection in my AD as shown on this page (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Roaming_Windows_User_Profiles#The_Windows_Roaming_Profile_Versions). The data are stored in a sharing file server (samba member domain). When I open a windows user session it doesn't work. Event observer says "Access denied". So I changed 'chmod 1750

Hello All, I have a problem with my roaming profiles where they are becoming too large due to the Thunderbird mail accounts (stored by default) in Application Data. What I would like to do is exclude this directory from being part of the roaming profile. How can I do this? Also, how hard is it to have some users not use a roaming profile but others continuing to use a roaming profile? We

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

using samba v3 windows xp sp2 clients. i have profiles working to some extent, that is when i create a new user on the server, when that user logs in, the profile gets downloaded from the server from the /etc/netlogon/default user directory. any customizations that the user makes work just fine and get saved to the profiles share under profiles/username when the user tries to go to a different
