Hi,

thanks for your answer.
I have found the problem, was not as complicated as it looked.

I did not read the error message well enough to see that only some files could not be saved in the profile.
These were files the user was not the owner and so he did not have access to them.
Reason was he copied them from the local admin profile.


Once I got this fixed everything is working as expected.

Thank you
Rainer

Hi,

I am in the process of migrating our windows workstations to a samba domain.

Here is the problem:

When creating the domain user I put every user additionalyy in the domain admin group so that he/she can copy his old files on the local profile to his new domain account.

Then after this is done I put them to the domain users group but some (!) of the user the lose then access to the profile.


Yeah, that's what happens. It's mostly a Windows problem...well not problem, rather it's security related.

If you're using WinXP, the best way to do this is to using the file and setting transfer wizard in the non domain account and export the settings. Then login to the domain account and import those settings. This way the user needs no special permissions and the profile is fully restored for the user.

I've done this numerous times, and this is by far the best way to do it.

When I look at permissions on their workstation everything looks ok, but he/she has no write access, though he is listed as owner.


samba is samba-3.0.13-1.4E.2 on Redhat EL4.

Here are parts of smb.conf

        comment = Roaming profiles share
        path = /shares/profiles
        writeable = yes

Thanks for help Rainer
