I have been having some trouble getting roaming profiles to work on my new samba domain. Actually, it works for some machines but not others. First, the server is debian testing with samba "Version 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian" and the smb.conf is this:
[global] server string = calypso01 netbios name = calypso01 workgroup = Calypso security = users domain logons = yes encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes preferred master = yes local master = yes os level = 99 logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u logon drive = H: logon home = \\%N\%u logon script = logon.bat time server = yes domain admin group= root @admins hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xx.192/255.255.255.192 printing = cups load printers = yes printcap name = cups socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 utmp = yes unix password sync = true passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *successful*
[netlogon] path=/home/netlogon read only=yes writeable = no browsable = no write [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[profiles]
path = /home/profiles
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700[homes] comment = Home Directories read only = no browseable = no guest ok = no valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775
The clients are Win2k SP3 machines. I have two different installs of
Win2k on two different pardware setups. Both are SP3. One of the sets of machines doesn't work, the other does. All on the same subnet. All
machines have been added to the domain successfuly and the users can log
on AND the logon.bat gets executed in both cases.
The specific behavior I see is that one set of machines propogates profiles like I expect. The other set will pull a profile from the server IF there is no profile for that user on the machine already, but it will not push any changes to that profile or pull a newer profile from the server again.
The times are correctly synchronized between the server and the
clients (in my logon.bat I run "net time \\calypso01 /set /yes").
I have noticed that the case of the machine name in "My
Computer->Properties->Network Identification->Properties->Computer Name"
are different between the two machines (of course the NetBIOS name in the Advanced Panel is still the same, all caps). The working machines have lowercase names and the non working have uppercase. But I don't see that it matters in some of the network captures I looked at, it seems that anytime the workstation name is sent it is sent in all caps.
Lastly, another problem that has caused some confusion is that the machines were on a previous Win2k Domain. There were some profiles for that domain remaining and this has cause some confusion, but I have tested on machines free of preexisting profiles, with a clean profile and the problem still persists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
