similar to: roaming profile does not work for "Domain Admins"

I am facing an issue which I cannot explain myself. The roaming profiles don't work for users that are members of the group "Domain Admins". The [profiles] share on the member server was configured exactly as explained on the wiki for roaming profiles. It works like a charm for all domain users, *BUT*: if a user is member of the group "Domain Admins" it *doesn't* :-(

Hi list, I am experimenting with two member servers (both samba4). I am using following configuration: membersrv:/etc/samba/smb.conf: ========================== [...] username map = /etc/samba/smbmap [...] membersrv:/etc/samba/smbmap: ========================= !root = MYDOM\johndoe MYDOM\foo MYDOM\bar MYDOM\Administrator Administrator So the domain users from my AD called "John Doe",

Hey all, I decided to use the default ranges in the smb.conf of my member server, so I changed my smb.conf and it looks like that: ================================================== [global] netbios name = MEMBERSRV workgroup = MYDOM security = ADS realm = MYDOM.EXAMPLE.COM encrypt passwords = yes idmap config MYDOM:backend = ad idmap

Hello list, using AD with rfc2307 provisioned and NIS extensions are available. In ADUC tool I choose the group "Domain Admins" and click on the [UNIX Attributes] tab. I activate it for my domain and choose the GID=500. When I execute on my member server "net cache flush && getent group 500" I get the result domain admins:x:500:johndoe,name1,name2 So far so good,

Hey all, according to the whitepaper http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736591%28v=ws.10%29.aspx I would like to a windows shortcut on the desktop that allows me to open and run the "Group Policy Editor" *for my samba4/AD domain*. The shortcut command should be: "gpedit.msc /gpobject:"LDAP://CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=mydom,

Dear Davor, would you please stop abusing this thread? The topic and initially posting is talking of something quite different than Rowland used in his first answer and to what you have replied. Thanks for your understanding. And no, uid and gid is not the same (uid!=gid) Regards, Mirco

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

Hi all, I wonder if there are any pro/cons between using Samba4 of Debian's official Wheezy-backports repository which actually is version 4.1.11 -or- using Samba4 of Sernet's official repository which actually is on version 4.1.12 I understand that Sernet's package at that moment is more recent, but recently I had an issue which was Debian/Samba4 related and unfortunately I made

Hello list, I am using the Microsoft ADUC (Active Directory Users & Computers) tool from the RSAT suite for creating and modifying my domain users. I am aware of the "copy" functionality which really is very nice to use. Unfortunately I am missing two important actions during the user-creation process which I try to describe: 1.) When I use the template feauture (by using the

Hello list, I am not sure if this is a bug or known already but I will describe it. I have two domain controllers running on 4.1.12/sernet which are linked together. I am using unison for bidirectional sync for the sysvol directory as described on samba's wiki, although in my opinion the problem I will describe in the following has nothing to do with the sync process. The sync occurs every

Hello, I am running Samba 4.1.12/Sernet on Debian Wheezy 64bit and I am about to setup my member server. The DC was provisioned with rfc2307 and extended attributes. I have assigned to the domain group called "Domain Users" the GID=10000. My member server was prepared with ACL+user_xattr and winbind support. My /etc/nsswitch.conf is using "winbind" for passwd+group, and

Hello everybody, if I use Microsoft's Active Directory & Users tool to add a home drive mapping to a users profile, I encounter the problem that ADUC tool cannot create automatically the home directory for the desired user. ADUC tool fails with the message, that the share cannot be accessed. My smb.conf contains: [global] template homedir = /data1/homes/%ACCOUNTNAME [homes]

Oh! I think I did find the error now :-) If I understand "NOW" correctly, I have also to assign a UID to EACH of my AD users in ADUC tool in the [UNIX Attribute] tab, is that correct? I just tried out. In ADUC tool I did choose "testuser3", and on the [UNIX Attribute] tab I activated the NIS domain so it reflects to "MYDOM". Then by default there was UID=10000, I

Hello list, my DC and member server is running Samba 4.1.12. The DC was provisioned with rfc2307 and NIS extensions. Through ADUC tool and the [UNIX Attribute] tab I assigned a uid to the AD user "testuser1" and I also assigned a gid to the AD group "Domain Users". The member server was configured according the official wiki of samba.org. Winbind was configured on the member

> Comment from Rowland: > [...]an AD user without a uidNumber is merely a windows user Hi Rowland, just for my understanding, I have a question. If a domain user in my samba4 AD domain does not have been assigned with a "uid" on the [UNIX Attribute] tab of my ADUC tool, that user in general *cannot* access any of the shares of that particular member server? Is that correct? My

Hi, For several linux server on our network we want to allow the AD domain group called "MYDOM\Domain Admins" to login through ssh with their AD credentials. Our DC1 and DC2 are running on Debian 64bit using Samba 4.1.12/Sernet. I'm kinda confused, what exactly I need therefore. Do I need to setup a PAM_authentication as explained on that tutorial here?

Hi all, I am referring to the official wiki here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_home_share#Setting_up_the_share_and_filesystem_permissions I was struggling around for many hours before I have found out what caused my issue. Well, I have created the [home] share exactly as epxlained on the How-To, in detail: I am creating on the linux prompt at the member server the directory with
