On the OLD server you ideally would have typed

 net getdomainsid
 net getlocalsid


(I think you could have also used pdbedit or smbpasswd or "smbpasswd -w" to get this info.)


The resulting SID should be the same same. On the new machine you would then type

 net setdomainsid SID
 net setlocalsid SID


You should also be able to on each workstation try the following
    - delete (or maybe rename)  the "new" profile
- check the permissions on the "old" profile to make sure that it is owned by the appropriate user.

So if you are user "Jsmith" from "MYDOMAIN", when you log into a PC it should look for a profile directory called "jsmith." If for some reason that profile directory is owned by another user, it would then create a directory called "MYDOMAIN.jsmith."

If that doesn't work you can always copy the contents from the old profile directory into the new one and then make sure you do a reset of the permissions.

Hi there Gaiseric,

Just to clarify, you are using local profiles?  There is not profile

yes it is local profile, and the machines still added to the server,

Does the new samba PDC have the same SID as the old one?  Did you have
rejoin the machines to the domain?  My guess is the PC's think it is a
new domain, therefore new user, therefore a new profile.
ok, I think thats the point. the SID isnt the same, but by now I cant figure 
out how to set the same SID.

can u tell me how to do this ?

Cheers !

My name is Pedro Ribeiro and I´m new here, but not so new with samba.

I have a question about new domain and what occurs with windows profiles.

I had a samba PDC that worked fine, but it´s broke now, so I created another 
samba PDC, with the same configs, but when an user try to login, a new profile 
is configured.

How can I create a samba PDC where a windows station can login and load the 
proper local profile ?
