[Samba] explorer.exe crashing at login

[Orion Poplawski]

We're running a network of Windows 2000 SP3 machines with Samba 2.2.7 as the PDC and roaming profile store. Certain users logging onto certain machines will see an error dialogue pop-up saying explorer.exe has generated errors and will exit. This keeps popping up and to only course of action is to ctrl-alt-del and logout. For most people, everything works fine.

I've been able to clear it up temporarily my moving the profile directory out of the way on the server, but the problem can re-occur.

smb.conf:
[global]
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
; nt acl support = no

;Run as a PDC
domain logons = yes
security = user
os level = 99

encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
local master = yes
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes

logon script = %U.bat
logon path = \\%N\%U\profile
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\%N\%U
wins support = yes
domain admin group = @wheel
share modes = no

[netlogon]
comment = Net logon scripts
path = /var/netlogon
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
writable = no
guest ok = no
browsable = no


This seems to have started after I made some changes to our samba server, and may have lost certain machine trust information, but I'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


TIA,

Orion Poplawski
