Samba domain disappearing randomly
Hi Folks,
So, there is an odd problem that one of my clients is having. Every once in a while (maybe once every two weeks) they log in and the windows xp machine can't find their roaming profiles (based off the controller setup as a samba/ldap). A quick restart and everyone is back up and running (sometimes the server and router also need to be restarted). This is a big annoyance for both them and me because I get phone calls and they end up wasting a half hour waiting for things to get situated again. Is there anything that I could configure to help keep this from happening? I've checked about the server being the 'master' on the network and it seems thats working just fine. Thanks in advance |
I recommend putting the IP address of the Samba server in the Windows machine's hosts and lmhosts.
\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Code:
192.168.1.5 samba01.my.place samba01 Code:
192.168.1.5 samba01 #PRE I have also found that I have to restart the Windows machines after I restart Samba. |
