Re: [Samba] Samba 3.0 and XP roaming profiles
Ups, forgot something: with the script in /var/samba/netlogon and named like the user, in smb.conf you need this: [global] . #this path is relative to the root of the netlogon-share logon script = %U.bat . [netlogon] path= /var/samba/netlogon Hi all, the share, subdirs and script have to be readable and executable to the "guest" user. The netlogon-share gets mapped by guest, not the user.

RE: [Samba] Samba 3.0 and XP roaming profiles
Here's my logon script (edited... This is just for mapping drives. I have others that get called from here also.)(XP clients. Domain Members) The ifmember part is optional. It checks for group membership and only maps the drives that the user needs, based on his group membership. I have a mixed environment so far. Migrating from a peer to peer workgroup to a domain. Machines that are part of the domain run this when a user logs on. No roaming profiles for me, though. Public is read only, so everyone gets that mapped. Ifmember.exe is part of the W2K (or later) server resource kit. Ifmember.exe only exists in the netlogon share. net time \\server /set /yes :accts \\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\acctsdep" if not errorlevel 1 goto parts net use j: \\server\accounts :parts \\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\partsdept" if not errorlevel 1 goto service net use k: \\server\parts :service \\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\servicedept" if not errorlevel 1 goto sales net use s: \\server\service :sales \\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\salesdept" if not errorlevel 1 goto hr net use l: \\server\sales :hr \\server\netlogon\ifmember "domainname\hr" if not errorlevel 1 goto public net use m: \\server\hr :public net use p: \\server\public It's named logon.bat (you can name it whatever you want.) It's in /var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts My smb.conf says: [GLOBAL] .. logon script = scripts\logon.bat (this has to match what you named the above.) . [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon (path=/var/samba/netlogon/%U would have a subfolder with each user name, and you could build a script for each user) public = no writeable = no browsable = no Hope this helps.
