Sorry for asking that, because I think this error is very frequent, but I can't solve it. I searched over the Google and mostly the samba mailing list archives, but I couldn't find anything useful about it.
Here is the situation: We are using A Samba3 server with LDAP password backend, configured as WINS and PDC server. We're also using roaming profiles. And here is the problem! Sometimes users got this error message from WinXP below. The logon finishes correctly except that the profile wasn't coped back to the server.
======
Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causes of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
DETAIL - The network name cannot be found. ========== if I am right, the network name for Windows means NetBIOS name. But I can resolve the NetBIOS name of the server every time it is needed. The other I thought about is that the network name is the user name in the domain. So I checked my config(below), but I think the logon parameters are OK. So I don't know what happened, and this error is very annoying. Every help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark TolmacsPs.: http://home.sch.bme.hu/~tolmika/samba <== Here you can read a level 10 log when a user log in, and got that annoying message. And the -2.log file contains the full log, with logging out and doing nothing else.
