We had this issue also, you need to ensure 3 things : 1) Ensure that the time is being set (as Nigel suggested). 2) Ensure that the C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS area of the client PC is not filled up with many profiles - e.g. <USERNAME> <USERNAME.000> <USERNAME.001> etc... 3) As I don't know what kind of desktop-security you use, I'm not sure how relevant this next part is.
If you are using POLEDIT to control 'Start Menu' or 'Desktop' locations (such as redirection), make sure they are NOT set. With NT/2K/XP, Samba's 'logon-home', 'logon-drive', 'logon-path' values are picked up and used correctly, the only time you would need to specify a user start menu or desktop is with Win98 clients. E.g. logon-path = \\%N\%U\profile logon-home = \\%N\%U logon-drive = H: Provided your profiles exist under \\SERVERNAME\USERNAME\profile (and have sufficient permissions), this should sort out your problem, I hope. If you are using poledit or gpedit with folder redirection, make sure the policy for start menu/desktop is NOT CONFIGURED, not set or unset, otherwise if you set it, it doesn't update profiles properly. If you unset it, you get the same thing. Not configured basically makes it use the samba-supplied values. Hope this helps. > This could be a time sync problem.
