In the latter case, nothing short of re-installation of the Win NT/2K/XP machines seems to solve the problem. ouch Another thing I found is that if the debug level is set to 0 when the client first negotiates roaming profile handling then no problems ensue, but if the debug level is set to 3 or more during first negotiation of yes - i have been running at log level 10 to flush out all the problems that i have been having. so, when i jointed the domain, i was at log level 10. roaming profile handling for a freshly installed Win2K/XP system, then about 2 out of 3 stations will experience a problem. That problem could be anything from: 1. Pop-up of notepad with the contents of what looks like a .ini file this occurs with one of the login names from that machine, but so far, not the others Secondly, embedding of '.' (dots) in a NetBIOS name is a very bad practice. If your Win2K clients use DNS for name resolution and your DNS domain is thecompany.com, then the above NetBIOS names would map to mars.genwax.test.thecompany.com the fully qualified domain name of this server is mars.genwax.test. i know that is kind of strange, but this is a test server, on a test network, so it has its own ip addresses, domain, and netbios names. i changed it to simply mars, and it did not change any of the system behavior. os level = 99 Why 99? An OS level of 33 is more than enough and setting it higher does not add anything. This is trivial so please ignore. My comment is just FYI. got it from page 6 of the Unofficial Samba How-To. -- ___cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.genwax.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Error Saving Certain Files in Profile from Win XP PRO
running samba 2.2.7 on linux as a PDC. client box is win XP PRO SP1. When shutting down windows i am getting an error message as follows (paraphrased since it lasts for 30 seconds and disappears no matter what you do **#$#$ ): Problem saving profile Documents and Settings/Start Menu/Programs/ Accessoreis/Entertainment/Windows Media Player.lnk there are lots and lots of other files and settings that get saved without a problem. i have tried it several times, with some different settings, and it sometimes chokes on a different file, but never completes properly. here are some of the relevant settings from smb.conf: domain logons = yes domain master = yes logon drive = Z: logon script=logon.bat logon home = \\mars.genwax.test\netlogon logon path = \\mars.genwax.test\profiles\%U os level = 99 preferred master = yes security = user [profiles] path = /usr/local/samba/profiles profile acls = yes browseable = yes read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 i have tried it with and without profile acls, same result. profiles seem not to work at all without browseable = yes. i have checked and windows has created this directory and it has proper ownership and permissions for the user to write in it. there is also a Windows Media Player.lnk that is correctly written into the Programs directory i have level 10 logs, but they are too big to post here. does anyone know what the problem is, or give me some more hints on how to diagnose it? is anyone out there successfully running 2.2.7 as a PDC with windows XP PRO clients? is everything running smoothly for production, or should i downgrade to using the samba workgroup features only? thanks for the help!! -- ___cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.genwax.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Pop-up of notepad with the contents of what looks like a .ini file I get this, and it's just plain weird. Notepad pops up, with every one of my three XP Pro users (using Samba 3.0alpha21-1 as PDC, and LDAP authentication). Here's the Notepad text I get: [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787 I don't want to have to re-install XP *again* though :-( So, for now, I just close Notepad. Good to know I'm not alone with seeing this behaviour, though. -Gord -- Gordon Pritchard, P.Eng. | Institute of Electrical and Research Labs Manager| Electronics Engineers Simon Fraser University, Surrey | Quarter Century Wireless Ass'n [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Telephone Pioneers of America phone: 604.586.6186 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
