Launching workstation local applications creates SMB traffic and STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE errors
I am using Samba 2.2.12 as a domain controller without any use of roaming profiles. Everything is working fine, but I have noticed some strange behavior. I've been working on a problem for quite some time. No matter what local application I launch on a workstation, I will see the following server message block (SMB) packets going from the workstation to the server. I don't want to include the server in local applications being launched. I checked the path environmental variable and there are no references to network drives at all. Trans2 Request, QUERY_PATH_INFO Query File Basic Info, Path: \.appname Trans2 Response, QUERY_PATH_INFO Trans2 Request FIND_FIRST2, Pattern: \.appname Trans2 Response, FIND_FIRST2, Error: STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE Another example will be if I go to "run" "cmd" to bring up a DOS window, I will see the following SMB packets from the workstation to the server which clearly creates creates performance problems. Trans2 Request, FIND_FIRST2, Pattern: \CMD"* Trans2 Response, FIND_FIRST2, Error: STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE Trans2 Request QUERY_PATH_INFO, Query File Basic Info, Path: \cmd Trans2 Response, QUERY_PATH_INFO, Error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND Trans2 Request, FIND_FIRST2, Pattern: \CMD"* Trans2 Response, FIND_FIRST2, Error: STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE Trans2 Request, FIND_FIRST2, Pattern: \CMD"* Trans2 Response, FIND_FIRST2, Error: STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE Trans2 Request, QUERY_PATH_INFO, Query File Basic Info, Path: \cmd.exe Trans2 Response, QUERY_PATH_INFO, Error: STATUS_OOBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND It will then bring up the CMD window, and the prompt will be at the Z: drive (users home directory). I want it to come up with C:\ by default. I would like to get this behavior to stop and have tried searching to no avail. Please let me know what I need to do in order to stop the local workstation from this inefficient behavior.
