Michael,Thanks for the quick reply John. I tried setting the local GPO option as described in the article, but the problem still occurs. The issue described in the article is not exactly what I am experiencing - the event id is 1521. The permissions of the profile on the server are correct after it is created:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] profiles]# ls -la total 6352 drwxrwxr-x 7 root dusers 4096 May 3 10:05 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 30 15:14 .. drwx------ 13 michaelv dusers 4096 May 3 11:45 michaelv <=======
where dusers is mapped to the "Domain Users" Windows group with net groupmap.
The ownership of the profile on the Windows XP client also appears to be correct.
I would expect the problem described in the article to be a more consistently occurring error - my problem is seemingly random, and usually works after leaving the client for a long period of time, or restarting it.
I have tried experimenting with some of the other GPO settings on the client, and also setting the "profile acls = yes" option in the [Profiles] section of smb.conf, but the problem remains.
Thanks for any additional help.
Add me to the list of me-toos on this one. However, I've noticed it appears to be something specific done to the workstations which is causing this. I don't know if it's a particular Microsoft patch or what, but we are only experiencing this in one of our 8 installations. Unlike most of the installations, I didn't build the machines myself for this one. I tried creating a duplicate set of Microsoft patches on a freshly imaged workstation and could not reproduce the problem. The only thing I can figure is there was some setting or software package installed by the contractor who was setting up these machines which was causing the issue. I'm afraid I don't have much more insight other than to say I don't think it's a Samba server side issue, I think it's something which could be fixed on the clients if I could find what was done to them to cause it. The ultimate fix for this problem is going to be re-imaging these machines to a known-good image which has been used in other islands (although these machines started with that, I just can't figure out what was done to them after the image to get them to this state).
