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

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 have samba 3 configured and running fine as a PDC with LDAP as the back end user database. I have most users using roaming profiles but there are a few I would like to be able to only have local profiles. Is it possible to configure samba to use both types of profile rather than one or the other. I have the profile path set on each user account in LDAP as the field

Hi! I have an Windows 2003 with Active Directory providing authentication to the network, and a SUSE box providing file services (currently hosting the users' homes). Now I want to migrate the roaming profiles from the Windows 2003 box to the SUSE box, but it is proving difficult. I copied a profile folder for a test user to the SUSE box and changed its permissions to give ownership

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

Grettings, all I have a bizarre problem on a laptop in my Samba 3.3.4 domain. This domain includes a mixture of XP Pro and Vista Ultimate clients. I had just completed a migration to this new domain (from a Samba 2.2.8a domain), and all seemed happy and well - machines had rebooted and were still active in the domain, users were logging in with no problem, shares were working perfectly - all

Hello, I have set smb.conf to turn off roaming profiles by putting "logon path" and "logon home" as blank entries. However, I find that if I attempt to login as an user in a Windows machine that does not already have a local profile for that user, I get "Unable to logon as DOMAINNAME is not available" or something like that... It does not create an automatic

Hello all, I've been trying to figure out what the best way of doing the group policy thing is. We are running samba 3 on slackware 9 with winxp clients. We are a school. i'm unclear on how much AD is actually supported... OU GPO all that. so i decided to go the "administrative template" way (used to be .pol files) I'm thinking of having the students run off of a

hey guys i want to hear your experience regarding this situation got this one user who store lots of big chunk files in his "My Documents" folder now as she logs out ... it took us several minutes for us to be able to shut down... how to take care of this? can i select which to include in the roaming files ... TIA Kent

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

Hello, I have a shiny new RHES4 box running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E (as included in the Red Hat distribution) which is set up as a domain controller, using openLDAP and the IdealX scripts. User PCs are Windows 2000 and XP. We would like to avoid roaming profiles altogether, so we set "logon path =" and "logon home =" (with no argument to the right of the equals sign) in smb.conf.

Hi, we are using samba 3.0.10-17 with openlddap 2.2.6-37.22 as backend. We use roaming profiles, but because of problems with different operating systems and the profile size, we want to use locale profiles. I tried to change logon path in smb.conf in an emty string, but no changes, if I delete this entry in smb.conf, samba use a default value and this is on the server. So I tried to change

Hi list, In my current organization, we aren't going to be using roaming profiles (for various reasons, it's not desired). I'm moving us from no domain controller to Samba as a PDC (with an OpenLDAP backend), and I'm trying to make the process as invisible as possible to the end users. Each XP user's local desktop exists at: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>

Howdy everyone: Here's an interesting one: I have joined a machine to the domain, and I log on. Then, I get a message to the effect that the user's roaming profile couldn't be [loaded or found?], and a local profile will be used instead (and actually this also fails, but is not the point of my question... I don't think). Background ========== I took my previous PDC, and

Hi people. I have some issues, I setup a samba server(3.0.28) with gentoo, samba + ldap. Is working, I can create users, change, add, mod, etc,etc. I setup each home drive, using smbldap-tools. Everything is working good. But I have 1 problem, I want to setup my windows xp pro sp2 users to have roaming + folder redirection to my samba server. Some folders are very easy to move to be in

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

I would like to have roaming profiles for one group of users (student1, student2), and local profiles for another group of users (Joe, Mary). Is it possible with Samba? From what I've tested, one can use either roaming profiles with a setting similar to the one below: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%G\%U Or local profiles, using the logon path empty: logon path = I have no clue how to

Hello, I've setup a PDC on Ubuntu Feisty with Samba 3 ... My users can join and use the domain but each time that open session the environment is reset to default parameters ... ! Note I don't want to use Roaming just local profiles ! In my smb.conf I've got these lines : ... logon path = logon drive = H: logon home = \\%N\%U logon script = logon.cmd ... [profiles] comment

L.S., I searched the internet and though there were lots of problems with profile, I haven't found a solution to my specific problem. - Samba server running on OpenSuse 11.1 with a ldap backend acting as PDC. - I have a new Windows 7 pro 64 bit client that has been added succesfully to the domain (with the required registry patches) I do not want to use roaming profiles, so logon path
