I'm using Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 as PDC for our Windows workstations. The passdb backend is tdbsam.
I want to employ roaming profiles and due to the fact that we have a mixed Windows environment (Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro) I have the following entry in my smb.conf: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a Basically, this works fine. If a user is working on a W2k workstation, his roaming profile is stored under \\servername\profiles\username\W2000. If he is working on a WinXP workstation, his roaming profile is stored under \\servername\profiles\username\WinXP. Currently, I'm experimenting with the User Manager for Domains (USRMGR.EXE) from Microsoft to evaluate how good this tool is for administrating a Samba PDC. Concerning the type of roaming profiles described above I have some problems with USRMGR.EXE: When editing the User Properties of a Samba user account with USRMGR.EXE, the user's roaming profile path is "hard-set" to \\servername\profiles\username\W2000 (or \\servername\profiles\username\WinXP, according to the workstation's OS I run USRMGR.EXE from). So, next time the user logs in on a machine with the other OS, for example WinXP, the roaming profile for Win2k is loaded. Remark: This problem only occurs, when editing the User Properties of Samba user accounts which were created using USRMGR.EXE. User accounts which were created the UNIX way (useradd and smbpasswd) seem not to be affected. Any ideas how to avoid this problem, apart of not using USRMGR.EXE?
