Hi Everyone, Does anybody use roaming profiles in domain level?
I'm looking for helps for setting up Samba as a NT4 domain member to support roaming profiles for sharing during domain logon of Windows clients. I ran into the problems. log files couldn't show specified messages, except for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. If a profile share directory is mounted on a Windows NT DC or a Windows domain member, all Windows clients can successfully use roaming profiles in that share during domain logon. If the profile share is mounted on a Samba server that is a NT4 domain member, and successfully joined to the domain, then all Windows client can save profiles to the share. But only Windows NT clients can load roaming profiles from Samba. WinXP(SP1/SP2 and Win2K(SP4) couldn't download roaming profiles from Samba profiles share. I captured network traffics of domain logon for profiles stored on both Windows and Samba domain members. By comparing behaviors, it looks Samba couldn't handle the case well. I've tried both Samba2.2.12 and samba3.0.7. All have the same problem. So I'm looking for others' experiences, and see if Samba has capability to provide roaming profiles in domain level. I have all log files or ethereal log files. If needed, I can send to you as reference. Any hints or helps, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Ying Li smb.conf [global] server string = Samba Serves as Roaming profiles security = DOMAIN workgroup = NT4_DOMAIN_NAME password server = * encrypt passwords = yes log level = 10 log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m # followings for Samba3.0 only idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind use default domain = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind separator = ; [profiles] path = /profiles browseable = no guest ok = yes The directory /profiles is owned by root with 777 permission, and includes all directories for a profile saved by Windows.
