Re: [Samba] question difference of roaming profile between WinXP and Win7
Hello Damien That's it. I changed logon path and logon home and path in [nt-profile] according your answer and now there are the username.V2 profiles. Further I removed [nt-profile.v2] because it wasn't requested anymore.

Please define share defined as

What you need to keep in mind is that Windows XP profiles are not

Betreff: RE: [Samba] question difference of roaming profile between
WinXP
and Win7
Hi,
IMHO both profiles can stay within the same share, so you don't
need a
separate .v2 share. It's the same with Windows 2003 Server and a
mixture
of
XP/ Vista/Seven Clients.
What you need to keep in mind is that Windows XP profiles are not
compatible with Vista/Seven profiles - hence the .v2 suffix and
they're
completely different profiles. When you're logging into Vista/Seven
for
the first
time, your exisitng pre-Vista profile will be converted and will be
renamed
to username.v2. Each time you're logging into Vista/ Seven the
username.v2 profile will be updated, and each time you're
logging
into XP your
username profile will be updated.
Cheers,
Christian

But I was disturbed to see my different clients now using different profiles when before I could share the same home dir. Now, files that once were insync in the different profiles are growing out of sync. Most changes I make in one profile, I want to show up in my other profile. This used to be 'automatic'. Now they are out of sync with each other... Anyway to resync them? For common subdirs, I might be able to use a widelinked dir out of either profile to the shared subdirs, but for individual files...would be a pain to symlink each to a single source on the server, not to mention unwieldy. Wondered why MS insisted on making my home shares named user.V2 when that wasn't their real name, and user had worked fine before. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Re: [Samba] question difference of roaming profile between WinXP and Win7
Hello Christian This what I expected with Win7 clients. But in my case XP and 7 are using the same profile (which shouldn't be), but from different shares. It seems XP is connecting to the profiles via my share [nt-profile] and Win7 via share [nt-profile.v2]. If i comment [nt-profile.v2], Win7 cannot connect to the profile (it starts always with an temporary profile). My username.V2 profiles are still empty. I never saw an logentry pointing to username.V2. Several hits in google answers just to create/copy a username.V2 directory and that's it. Which didn't work for me. [nt-profile.v2] was just a guess due to entries from the samba logs. The only possibility I see, is to define path = /BUERO/samba/nt-profile/%u.V2 (or something similar) in [nt-profile.v2] to differentiate between XP and 7. Who is adding the v2 extension? Is it samba or Win7? I'm running Samba 3.4.3. regards Robert Original-Nachricht Datum: Sun, 4 Apr 2010 00:00:40 +0200 (CEST) Von: Christian Rost c...@rocon-it.de An: r...@gmx.at CC: samba@lists.samba.org Betreff: RE: [Samba] question difference of roaming profile between WinXP and Win7 Hi, IMHO both profiles can stay within the same share, so you don't need a separate .v2 share.
