Samba as Domain Controller wrong language of profile


Hello,

Im running a Samba server as a PDC

Every thing works fine When I log in it creates a folder on the server for the user. when the user logs out, it is copying the user data to the server, for example folders like Documents,Favorites and so on.

My problem is,Im using a Dutch version of Windows 7 but the folders sync are English

This is Samba 3, is it?

Assuming your PDC machine's locale is set correctly, the Samba configuration goes into /etc/samba/smb.conf - specifically, add/modify something like this in the [gobal] section of the file.

dos charset = 1255
unix charset = UTF-8
display charset = UTF-8

Does that help?

Hey,

I added it to the file and restarted samba.

I make a new user logged in the Windows

On the samba server the directory for the user was created

On Windows all folders are Dutch, I logged out of Windows.

Then Windows Syncs the profile to Linux and all are in English

The problem seems the be Windows I Installed a Dutch version of it

But underneath in the register of Windows everything is English

Windows Uses a layer on top of it which is Dutch.

Does anyone has this problem before? maybe in a other language.

I added some items in the register of Windows and thats helping I now have Documents and Mijn documenten, so still somewhere I have to edit a file..

Can't help with the Windows machine, but one thing does occur to me... You may have problems with old directories and files that were created before you instigated the char-set change. If so, this might help:

http://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/man/

It's a tool for converting file names between char-sets. Maybe of some use to you, I don't know?

Hi,

I deleted all the profiles created new ones but also the new ones with the changed smb.conf are English

So Linux is not the problem it seems
