[SOLVED] Samba PDC without profile roaming troubles
 

Hi,

I am trying to set up a Samba PDC without roaming profiles, so the PDC should just do the authentication process and rights distribution.

When I logon with a Windows client I get the following error-message:

Actually, this is what I do want it to do, but how can I get rid of this error-message, each time a client logs on?

This is my smb.conf:

Thanks,

Search for "logon path" in man smb.conf.
You will find that the stanza
logon path = "" deliberately disables roaming profiles.

Hmm.. I think you didn't read my post carefully enough as I do NOT want roaming profiles.

Uhm, didn't I write exactly that? The stanza 'logon path ="" ` does just that,
disabling roaming profiles.
You can indeed use a netlogon script (share netlogon is necessary) to run
a regedit command as (local/domain) admin, possibly using CPAU, to permanently
disable roaming profile at the client side.

Ouch I see you already have that stanza .... well, at work we use it as well,
but without the quotes, just the empty = ... when I wrote the replies,
I wanted to play safe and took the example from the manpage.
Maybe better omit the "" - we don't see that error, in particular the syntax/label
part.

Wow, indeed, omiting the paranthesis solved the problem..!

Thanks,

Toby

Hi there,

I'm struggling with this, too, and removing the "" works fine. But what about the three commas (apparently taken from /etc/passwd) on the top of Start Menu following the domain user's full name (e.g., John Littleroof,,,)? Is there a way to get rid of them other than switching to classical start menu?
