When windows login fails, often windows gives a path error. My
suspicion is that some rougue data with incompatible perms has gotten
into the local users profile. I've seen it happen, but I'll be damned
if I can remember the cause.

Subject: [Samba] Odd random roaming profile issues

We are currently using samba and openLDAP to enable our users to have
roaming profiles on our domain network. We have one primary domain
controller and 7 "home servers" at the various locations that serve
the
profiles and such. The problem is that randomly various users are
unable
to load their profile and windows just gives them a temporary profile.
This mostly happens on vista machines but is not limited to that as it
has happened on XP also. What is odd is the user can login as
themselves
on another machine just fine and other users can "usually" log in on
the
first users pc just fine. We have tried the standard checking log
files,
remove/reinstall pc into domain/ldap, remove/reinstall user into
domain/ldap, etc but nothing seems to work. What we usually end up
doing
is reinstalling the users OS and programs. I know there has to be a
better way to do this. Is there anything I may be missing here? Any
pointers are more than welcome.
