Samba: Adding Homes to PDC causes netlogon.bat script to not execute

I have a samba server running as a PDC with ldap as its backend. The PDC does not have a [homes] directive as I have another samba server running on our file server that has the homes directive. It was no problem being that I had a script in [netlogon] called netlogon.bat that would mount the home directories on windows. Now everytime someone logs on, I get an error message in the logs that say service 'username' cannot be found. Well I tested it out with a user by creating a [username] directive. Well the message goes away, but now netlogon.bat is not being executed. And its not like it cannot be accessed. I can from windows navigate to \\pdc\netlogon and execute the script and have it mount the directories. Any ideas?

need to see some conf here, how about your logon.bat???

Code:

[global]

        workgroup = x.x.x

        netbios name = Ross

        server string = PDC %v

        map to guest = Bad User

        encrypt passwords = yes

        add user to group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m '%u' '%g'

        delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x '%u' '%g'

        set primary group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g '%g' '%u'

        add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w '%u'

        logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U

        logon script = netlogin.bat

        ldap passwd sync = Yes

        ldap suffix = dc=x,dc=x,dc=x

        ldap ssl = start tls

        ldap user suffix = ou=people

        create mask = 0640

        directory mask = 0750

        case sensitive = No

        dont descend = /proc,/dev,/etc,/lib,/lost+found,/initrd

[netlogon]

        comment = Network Logon Service

        path = /etc/samba/netlogon

        guest ok = Yes

        browseable = no

        valid users = %U

[profiles.V2]

## For Vista

        copy = profiles

        path = /etc/samba/profiles/%U.V2

Then the netlogon.bat

Code:

NET USE * /DEL /YES



Net TIME \\ross.x.x.x



NET USE W: \\cajal.x.x.x\Public



NET USE X: \\cajal.x.x.x\homes

I think it is the issue with permissions

Check the netlogon directory(and similar specified in the smb.conf global aswell as homes sec)
whether the these directories are writable by the concerned users?

I have had also the same problem. But it solved though i don't exactly know how it solved. May be I changed the permissions

in you smb.conf(G) you have;

Quote:

logon script = netlogin.bat

but your script is named netlogon.bat

Quote:

NET USE X: \\cajal.x.x.x\homes

you dont seem to have the [homes] section, so where are the users' home directories????
