Hello I want to add Win7 machine to my Samba PDC with WinXP clients. Google tells me I have to add a .V2 to my profiles. The samba log ask about a .v2 share. Can someone explain me the difference of the v2 extension at the profile names and the roaming profile share? Following my settings:
smb.conf: [global] logon path = \\%L\nt-profile logon home = \\%L\nt-profile [nt-profile] comment = Client Profiles path = /BUERO/samba/nt-profile/%u read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [nt-profile.v2] comment = Client Profiles path = /BUERO/samba/nt-profile/%u read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 ls -l /BUERO/samba/nt-profile drwsrwsr-x 24 kira users 4096 2010-04-03 16:16 kira drwxr-sr-x 2 kira users 4096 2010-04-02 18:59 kira.V2 These are 2 empty profiles. I logged on to user kira with an XP client, set the background colour to green and logged of. Profile kira was filled with data. Now I logged on to user kira with an Win7 client, the background was black. I set the background to yellow and logged of. The profile kira.V2 is still empty. Finally I logged on to kira with XP and the background was yellow. So Win7 and XP are using the same profile, which should be if I understand "mr. google" right. I thought I just had to copy the roaming profiles to a profile with extension .V2. I found following in the samba log during Win7 logon: : get_referred_path: |nt-profile.V2| in dfs path \testserver\nt-profile.V2 is not a dfs root. : Connect path is '/BUERO/samba/nt-profile/kira' for service [nt-profile.v2] : connect to service nt-profile.v2 initially as user kira (uid=524, gid=100) (pid 12087) : reduce_name [.] [/BUERO/samba/nt-profile/kira] : Further, there is a reference to nt-profile.V2 (uppercase V2) and next a connect to nt-profile.v2 (lowercase v2). What is the difference? Finally, the profile kira is used and not kira.V2. Why? Can someone explain me the correct setup of samba for Win7 clients? regards robert -- Sicherer, schneller und einfacher.
