similar to: Samba 3 Windows 7 Temporary Profile on 2nd Login

Hi, I have a server which until recently was serving a domain of about 20 XP PCs in a school. Over the summer I updated Samba to 3.5.4-0.70, and replaced the desktops with new machines which are running Win7 Pro 64 bit SP1. This being a school, I have a system of mandatory group profiles set up, and all of the pupil groups curently have copies of the same mandatory profile (generated via the

Hi, I have a very odd issue - I cannot copy a large-ish (1.1GB) ISO file to a Samba share on a specific server, and having spent a couple of days on the issue, I'm running out of things to try, and I'm hoping for some suggestions. The destination system is an old P4 system on a Via based motherboard (P4MA Pro). It has two IDE disks, a Maxtor 40GB on IDE channel 1 as the system disk,

I've been struggling for several days with an issue to which I found a number of references, but few solutions, so wanted to put my experience "out there", in the hope that others may find it useful at some time. A client company network of 10 WinXP Pro PCs and CentOS 4 server (a Fujitsu RX300x2) running Samba was last week replaced with 10 Win7 Pro PCs and a CentOS5 server

Hello, I am so close!!! So far I have a Samba PDC that machines and users can log into, but here's the deal: I would like to find out how to allow them to log on and receive their login script, but not use a roving profile. Here are my relevant settings as they are set right now: ; logon drive = x: ; logon home = "\\Gluon\Gluon G" ; logon path = \\Jupiter\Profile\%U encrypt

Many thanks, that should really help.

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

Maybe this is not the right place but i'm still having trouble with synchronisation. Samba 3.0.14 as pdc. I used gpedit.msc to tell the computer not to sync Documents ( i used the italian name Documenti, since my windowsxp is in italian ) on login/logout. I mapped documents using regedit on drive z: (i.e. the roaming profile on the samba server), but when i logout i have been still seeing

Yes, it was maybe a sync trouble. But after some trying i realized it was not a good way for two reasons: At the end windows xp tried to sync the folders loosing as much time as with the usual roaming profile; Disabling the sync i used to loose something anyway. So now i'm looking up a new solution: activated the 'use only local profile' in the gpedit.msc config tool, so the client

Hi, We have a bunch of users that have local profiles, and when the login to the domain they get a new profile created on their workstation. For example, a user like c:\documents and settings\rguyton changes to c:\documents and settings\rguyton.HMDCDOMAIN Is there a way to get this to use the existing profile? Also, i went into gpedit.msc and set "allow local profiles only" since

After update from 3.0 to 3.4.7 roaming profiles were not being saved on XP. Disabled ipv6 on our Samba server (some update must have re-enabled it) and rebooted. Now profiles on XP seem to be working OK again. Not so for Windows 7. This is a newly set up Windows 7 machine, registry fixes were applied as indicated here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 was able to join domain, and

Hello! We are using samba3-3.0.2a-30 as a PDC. Everything is working fine, but now we would like to use user policies. As I learned that can be done by the ntuser.pol file in the 'profiles' user sub directory on the PDC. So her is what i already tried: 1.) Set up a test Window$ 2000 Client and get it into the Domain 2.) Log in as Administrator 3.) Start gpedit.msc (and change

Greetings to the samba community, I am trying to set up a small (12 workstations) Windows XP network served by an Ubuntu 6.06 samba PDC. I have domain logons working, but I am unable to properly set up roaming profiles. One of the users called "host" (which means "guest" in Czech) is able to login without any warnings. Other users (so far "administrator" and

I've got a problem with roaming profiles. I've googled, trolled the mailing lists, and read the documentation. Problem details I'm running samba 3.0.7 as PDC with WinXP clients. When I log onto WinXP as a domain user the profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a while and hub is lit up) but the profile won't load properly. Specifically I notice that the desktop is

[samba v3.0.24, gentoo w/ kernel 2.6.15] I'm hoping someone has some insight into the following problem that I've recently encountered: Basically, winxp seems to be creating roaming profiles that are incompatible with another winxp client. I've got two sets of winxp clients, which I'll call 'new' and 'old'. Profiles created (and perfectly usable) by the old

Hello everyone, Not really a Samba problem, but I hope someone can help me : I am doing some tests for integrating XP clients on Samba 3.02 with LDAP backend. I have tried this on a test machine on which I have applied local policies withthe gpedit.msc console (ie : Delete the roaming profiles or hide the logon scripts...) and this work perfectly. Now I'd like to do the same on other

James, I configured the account lockout policies by RSAT, GPEDIT.MSC. By GPEDIT.MSC I set the value = 10 attempts. Through the samba-tool, I used this command: # samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --account-lockout-threshold=11 INFO: Current debug levels: ... pm_process() returned Yes Module 'tombstone_reanimate' is disabled.

How do you disable roaming profiles in Windows 2000? I know in Windows XP you use gpedit.msc but I don't see where in windows 2000 to disable roaming profiles. Any suggestions? Thanks, Adam

Hello all, First Thank you everyone(especially the samba team) for helping to make this GREAT file/print/auth MS-RPC service. :) Environment: I've migrated my 2.2.7a PDC (clients XP & 98SE)configuration to the 3.0 alpha21 PDC and all is wonderful except for one thing. Problem: When signing in to the domain HTTPS is not allowed. I tried using gpedit.msc policy editor and received access

I am fairly sure Samba will ignore GP password policies, but if you set the policies with the samba tool command, then it should adhere to it, unless you are running across the bug I mentioned. You would see multiple badPwdCount increases for one bad password in the logs if you are experiencing that bug. -James Crouch On Aug 19, 2016 2:26 PM, "Ricardo Pardim Claus" <ricardo.claus at
