Hi there, I have a Samba+LDAP Debian box as a primary domain controller. I configured the server in order to support roaming profiles. Everything is working perfectly. Roaming profiles are loaded and saved correctly from the server for every user on the domain. The big problem is this: after typing username and password from a Windows XP client computer, it starts reading the profile from the samba server; it says: loading settings, then it says: applying settings, then it becomes stalled, and after about 2 minutes the computer starts to load the desktop. I have these packages installed: dhcp3-server, bind9, openldap (and required packages as libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap, etc) and samba server. Do I need something else (a package or configuration) in order to avoid this? Why do clients last too much before the Windows desktop is ready to use?
Have you checked the size of the roaming profiles? Since windows downloads a new copy each time you log in these must be only a few MB if you do not have a gigabit to every desktop. Also you should get any internet explorer cache out of the roaming profiles as this usually contains thousands of files which take forever to download...
