Hello @Damien I remove nt-profile.v2 and deleted all server profiles in Win7 but I still was logged on using a temporary profile. I found a msg in sambalog like: service [nt-profile.v2] not found
@Linda I made the same experince. There was never a profile <username>.V2 referenced and used. Now I'm fully confused in that topic. I my test environment (1 PDC, 1 WinXP and 1 Win7 virtual machines), I was able to logon with win7 using a server profile with just <username>. The profile was newly created and empty and samba had defined a [nt-profile.v2] share. The same settings don't work in my production environment. I have the same settings, defined a new user but Win7 is logging on using a temp profile. I set log level to 4, inspected all messages but couldn't find any reason why a temp profile. Does someone have a good tip for me for further investigation or a reason? This there a link available "How to setup samba with win 7 clients"? regards robert -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Sun, 4 Apr 2010 16:37:34 +0100 > Von: Damien Dye <damien.j....@googlemail.com> > An: r...@gmx.at > CC: samba@lists.samba.org > Betreff: Re: [Samba] question difference of roaming profile between WinXP > and Win7 > Robert > > remove the .V2 share and then remove your profiles from vista/win 7 at > this > reg key > > HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList > > then all will work as expected. > > > -- > Damien Dye BSC(hon) > > > > On 4 April 2010 16:15, <r...@gmx.at> wrote: > > > Hello Christian > > This what I expected with Win7 clients.
