Re: [Samba] speed of samba vs Windows
On Jun 28, 2012, at 7:02 AM, Todor Fassl wrote: Is there any reason to believe that a samba server would be slower when serving up roaming profiles than a real Windows server? I know roaming profiles are slow by nature and that there are things you can do to help like configuring ffolder redirection. But all else being equal, how would a samba server compare to a Windows server when it comes to speed specifically with respect to roaming profiles? Our Windows guy insists samba is slow but I don't believe it. He claims that when you load a roamng profile, Windows downloads only files that have changed and samba downloads everything. But he doesn't know anything about samba and I don't know where he got that from. True roaming profiles upload and download the entire profile at every logon, logoff. Doesn't matter what server is on the other end. If folder redirectoin is not implemented the profile grows over time and this copying of the entire profile will slow down logons over time -- whether you're using a Windows server or a Samba server. If one sets GroupPolicy to only create local profiles for domain users it's possible that the local Windows box will do an rsync-ish changes only, though I've not tested this. It's also possible to implement local profiles with folder redirection and no roaming component which will never copy the NTUSER.DAT and other files at logon/logoff. It's important to remember that the server is not doing any of the roaming profile work other than informing the client of the user's profile folder location (though in the case of Active Directory -- delivering additional GroupPolicy behaviors). The client's copy of Windows is doing the roaming work and it's behavior is determined by local Group Policy settings. The only way to really control the amount of data going up and down for true roaming profiles is implementing folder redirection where at least the AppData folder is redirected to a location on the server outside of the roaming profile store -- typically to a folder in the user's home directory. The Samba HowTo has some very good basic info on how to implement folder redirection. Works with Windows XP and Windows 7.

These local profiles are the result of the previous profile not fully unloading at logout. It is a Windows problem, not a Samba problem. There are many causes for this behavior. In Windows 7 the typical reason is a service or process has locked a resource in the profile and is not releasing it at logoff. Try looking in the profile to see what files/folders may be being left on the drive. You can also try logging in as local administrator, disabling all services and startup processes that are non-standard and then enabling them one at a time to see if you can isolate the problem.

Re: [Samba] Samba PDC with Windows 7 support request
Have you tried these settings (posted here about a year ago)? When the following local GPO is left in its default setting Samba domain logons are delayed for 30 seconds: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Set maximum wait time for the network if the user has a roaming user profile or remote home directory. Enable this and set the value to 0 to work around this timeout. The timeout does not occur when logging into an Active Directory PDC running Server 2008 R2. I have not tested this with w2k8 R2 client. In addition, if the user's desktop is set to a solid background color logons of any kind (local, AD, samba) will be delayed by 30 seconds. Set the background to any .jpg image or apply Microsoft's hotfix to work around this issue. This is a cumulative timeout; that is, if the above timeout is in affect and the solid background color timeout is also in affect the delay is 60 seconds. I also experienced a 30 second timeout when I set the local GPO to Run logon scripts synchronously. This problem has inexplicably vanished and I can't replicate it though I don't see it listed in any Windows 7 updates. Might have been happening to me with Windows 7 PRO. I'll check that if anyone is interested. The fix was to apply an old Vista reg setting. Can be Googled as Vista Run logon scripts synchronously.

I have a couple of questions related to Windows 7 : - opening a domain session on the Win7 client takes a long time. At least 40 seconds, while there is no delay on XP client. Is it a kown problem ? A bug ? What can be done to avoid such a delay ? There are a least two timeouts that I've found that can affect domain logons -- Roaming profile logon timeout: When a user with a roaming profile attempts to logon to a Samba domain Windows will display the Welcome screen for 30 seconds before enabling the user's desktop.

NOTE: this bug may only be extant in Windows 7 Professional, not Enterprise or may have been addressed in service pack. Creating the following REG_DWORD registry key will work around this bug: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout Set to: 0001 There is also the solid color background bug (again, it may have since been addressed in a service pack): Change the background color to any .jpg image. - in smb.conf , the %a value for Windows 7 is Vista , right ?
