[Samba] Copying profiles to a new samba server
Well I had to set up Samba on a new server and everything seem to went pretty well for the most part but now when I try to log on the domain it gives me an error message saying it couldn't load the profile on the server. What I did was set up new server with pretty much the same configuration, then one evening when there was nobody here I copied all the profiles and other stuff from the old server to the new one and now the profiles don't work. Any ideas? Jean-Rene Cormier -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Any ideas? Yes. The profiles (in particular the NTUser.DAT file) are keyed to the domain and user SIDs. Samba-3 will has a tool called 'profiles' that allows you to change the SIDs to those on the local domain. The only way you can solve your problem now is to find out the SID for the old domain and change the new controller SID to it. You can use smbpasswd with the -S DOMAIN and -W SID options. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
