Samba Roaming Profiles

SBN · 11-29-2007, 11:31 PM

Hey guys im trying to setup roaming profile on my samba domain server i have these setup in the smb.conf

Quote:

[global]
.
..
..
..
..
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u\%m

[profiles]

path = /home/samba-ntprof

but when i logged an error appears saying that the roaming profile cant be located....

also whats the difference of the logon path and the [profiles]?

add following lines to ur global section..

Quote:

logon script = %u.bat
logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u

Add this line to u r Profiles ..

Quote:

[Profiles]
comment = public profile
path = /home/samba-ntprof
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
profile acls = Yes
browseable = No

And Finally add a new share

Quote:

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /home/netlogon
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
browseable = No
share modes = No

Change as per as required.

Hope it will work If not then post all of ur Global section.

Problem solved.....

i only specify these on the smb.conf

Quote:

logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u\%m

[profiles]

path = /samba

also is the use of these necessary?

Quote:

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /home/netlogon
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
browseable = No
share modes = No

also is this "%u.bat" in the logon script also necessary? and is it created automatically?

I m happy that u can solved ur problem.

No its not necessary. But Its helpfull for user to Remember map network drive when logon.If u want u have to create manually this share.

/home/netlogon

%u.bat It should create automatically If not,
parheps u have to create some text file like xxx.bat where xxx is ur user name under netlogon dir.

all the best of u......
