Thank you.This did end the temporary profile thing:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System LocalProfile 1 REG_DWORD HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System ReadOnlyProfile 1 REG_DWORD Remenber that this could takes effect only after a Windows restart ... But after all is a great guessing where windows 7 takes the settings, pointing every domain user to C:\Users\temp.. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ ProfileList-->ProfileImagePath= C:\Users\temp I first tried to set ProfileImagePath to \\sambaserver\profiles\ After restart there was ProfileImagePath=C:\Users\mydomain.temp !? Is there anybody out there getting roaming profiles on a samba 3.4.8 /windows 7 running? Or redirection of Shell Folder Personal? ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel Müller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 Tübingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: muel...@tropenklinik.de Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] Im Auftrag von German Molano Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.

Disable completly the roaming profile behavior Win 7 Workstations, this could be done by registry. HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System LocalProfile 1 REG_DWORD HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System ReadOnlyProfile 1 REG_DWORD Remenber that this could takes effect only after a Windows restart ... Second, disable logon path directive unless you need it ;logon path = \\%L\homes\%U\profile logon path = If you need it copy a Default profile generated by Windows 7 to this folder, you could found it on c:\users folder on any Windows 7 Workstation. Third there is a registry value on Windows 7, called ProfileList HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ ProfileList Sometimes when you test or login for first time Windows 7 Workstation, it will write this registry with the user profile path, I don't know how the heck it mixed Temporary profiles with local profiles definition, the result every time you log in with a user it recreates the profile on c:\users\TEMP but the system initially do not recognize the profile as a temporary but as Local or Mobile, depending on your definition. At the logout of the user session it treats the profile as a temporary one deleting the TEMP folder and all changes you done on it --Nasty thing --. So my advice delete those entries where the domain users gets c:\users\TEMP as the default profile path. Then log in the user to create a truly own Local profile. I use kixtart tools to do most of this work, i disable the folder redirection for those users that use local profiles, to them they use the default folders locations. I believe that there is something related with the folder redirection setting and this annoying behavior --deleting the whole profile--. I found out a Registry value that affects Windows Vista and 7 Workstations MachineProfilePath HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System Is for roaming profiles, but maybe could be tricked to be mobile or "local" if you set local or mobile the path as you need it. > Daniel > > EDV Daniel Müller > > Leitung EDV > Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus > Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 > 72076 Tübingen > Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 > eMail: muel...@tropenklinik.de > Internet: www.tropenklinik.de > > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
