I have been working on getting Samba 3.0.20rc2 on a Sun Solaris box to play
nice with our institution's Active Directory (AD) environment. The AD set-up
is pretty plain and I have no ability to make changes to its configuration -
a different department runs that show.
Should I be able to store the roaming profile information on my Samba server
in an AD environment? The rest of the campus does not use roaming profiles
so they provide no support or storage for them. We've been using them for
years and do not want to give them up - but we are being forced onto the AD
system. We will go, but I don't want my users to have to give up features to
make the transition.
I have my Samba server as a member server belonging to the AD domain, I can
log onto the Solaris host as an AD user, and Samba provides resources to the
Windows clients - so far, so good.
What I need to be able to do for my group is store their roaming profiles on
my samba server, and run our logon script from our samba server.
I have access to User Manager for AD and have modified the profile entry for
my test user to:
profile path \\techops-test\profile
login script \\techops-test\netlogon\mglcua.bat
Home directory map h:\ to \\techops-test\homes\marteltest
I have also tried:
profile path \\techops-test\profile\marteltest
logon path ? logon home ? (depending on windows version)
not "profile path" :-)
"logon path" doesn't have to point to PDC (which is AD in your case), so
You can specify samba UNC for that. just remember win2ksp4 and later are
picky on profile ACLs, You should either use samba with ACL support or
enable "profile acls = yes" on that share (believe me, You don't want
that option enabled globally).
logon script is relative to \\PDC\netlogon, so You can just specify s.bat
and it will look for \\PDC\netlogon\s.bat
When I try logging onto a windows machine it reports that it is "unable to
locate the server copy of your roaming profile" and the detail says that "The
profile path cannot be found."
When I looked at the smblog file I saw the following:
[2005/08/16 13:52:48, 10] passdb/pdb_get_set.c:pdb_set_profile_path(752)
pdb_set_profile_path: setting profile path
\\techops-test\marteltest\profile, was
Anyone know why the UNC was flipped to \\techops-test\marteltest\profile
rather than \\techops-test\profile\marteltest?
The login script does not run.
The user's home directory *does* get mapped as the H:\ drive.
Thanks!
