Hi Everyone,

I have a weird problem here... In my SMB.CONF file I specify the server string and when I log on the domain everything works great I have the right security, drives map fine etc all the way it should.

But I changed my Server string a few hours back and the drives CONTINUE to be mapped with the OLD server string.... It's very weird...

BUT if I browse through network neighborhood and look at the PDC it has the correct server string that I want the mapped drives to have. Even if I do a MAPPING with the Tools Map Network Drive it has the wrong description also.

Hope you have a suggestion or two... I tried google and coming up empty.

Thanks,
Vince

I assume you did restart smbd and nmbd?

Then it could be that some other machine
is caching the old name in WINS.

Yes I restarted Samba... I'm using SUSE so I used rcsmb restart... I didn't restart the NMB but I did reboot the server multiple times in case I wasn't restarting all the needed peices.

I was using Roaming Profiles at one time and I think I got them removed but It still posts a copy of the Profile on the users drive on the PDC so I think it is being cached from there.

- Interesting enough I created and logged in as a new user and bingo worked great...
- Went back to my old account "Still Wrong"...
- Removed my old account and created a new one "Still Wrong - Forgot that the profile on the server was there"
- Removed the Server Profile and the Local account created a new one and everything is correct again.

Is there a way to disable the profile from being stored on the PDC?

Thanks,
Vince

I believe if you remove "logon path" from smb.conf, it will disable storing the profile on the server.
