Are you using offline folders- I had problems with offline folders and Windows 7- it could break offline authentication.

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 had similar problems. I was referred to the message in the mailing list archive [1]. I have applied what was described - used gpedit.msc - this but I am still experiencing slow login times, exactly 40 seconds on each workstation. I just checked on one workstation where the user had a jpeg as his desktop background, I mention this because there are references to a Window7 bug about slow login and a plain desktop, and that has the correct group policy setting and still the login time was exactly 40 seconds. I too be interested in hearing what others have to say on this.

[Samba] Samba PDC with Windows 7 support request
Dear Samba support team, I have a question on Samba 3.5.8 please, which is not solved by searching the forums. I tried all suggested solutions, but nothing take effect. Situation: - small public school - We have Ubuntu Server 11.04 64-bit - Samba 3.5.8 as PDC - Windows XP and Windows 7 Pro SP1 clients - On Windows XP everything works. Login is quick and reliable there. Problem: But our problem is with Windows 7 domain clients, where login and logout takes more than 1,5 minute with clear user profile. Yes, we have only 100 Mbit LAN, but why XP can operate so much faster? We are using Aero with background images, but logon locally is very fast. Only using travel profiles is very slow. I have tried: - Disable IPv6, - Disabled UAC - set policies time to wait on server, - I applied all performace recommended settings suggested at samba.org for Windows 7 (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7) Very similar post I have found here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8300 Domain users experience a slow login performance on Windows 7 clients that are joined into a samba domain (Samba version 3.5.4). The Windows 7 client was joined successfully into the domain with the Windows 7 registry settings adjusted according to http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 (DomainCompatibilityMode = 0 and DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0). We need solve this bug, in other case we can’t use Samba as PDC and we must change the platform. Please put this request on free support boards or send me an offer for paid support. Can help adding this to GLOBAL section? domain master = yes local master = yes preffered master = yes os level = 64 Thanks a lot, I hope I’m not disturbing main Samba developers, With best regards, Jiri Prochazka Teacher from Waldorf high school in Prague Czech and English only :-) # # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux. # # # This is the main Samba configuration file.
