Samba as a Client Accessing Windows 2008 Roaming Profiles

Hello,
I am using Samba on Linux as a CLIENT which is accessing Windows Server 2008
and I am trying to setup roaming profiles on the Linux/Samba client. My
Linux distribution is openSUSE 11.3 RC1/Factory and YaST does a very good
job at setting up Kerberos/Samba to join the domain. It all seems to work,
except the Linux profile isn't synchronized back to the Windows domain
server. I assume this is working-as-intended using the configuration I have
setup, but for the life of me I cannot find any configuration information on
how to synchronize Linux profiles so it can be used in a roaming
environment.

I realize that what I'm asking for is likely a hack-job since roaming
profiles are fairly ugly to begin with, but unfortunately there's not many
other options. I am not the network admin, nor do I have admin privileges,
but I am working on this project with the approval of my network admin.
There is some room for minor setup modifications, especially if I can prove
it works, but I would like to do this with as few network-level
modifications as possible.

The setup in my office currently consists of all Windows XP machines using
roaming profiles, but we have some older machines we would like to convert
to Linux in order to avoid spending money on new systems. Because we do not
have enough computers for each user to have their own, we are forced to
allow people to share computers and sit where ever they can (we are a
24-hour call center). Because of this I need the Linux computers to be able
to roam within the network as well. Items preserved just need to include
documents and Linux/Windows settings.

Any suggestions (beyond "scrap it all and start over with the proper
solution") are greatly appreciated.

Openfiler (http://www.openfiler.com/ Linux based) or  FreeNAS 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/ FreeBSD based) as an NFS 
server.  You should be able to use pam_winbind winbind AD domain 
joining and idmaping to manage ID's across the Linux WS's and the NAS. 
 Have the Linux WS's mount the /home (or whatever you're using for the 
*nix users) directory as an NFS share from the NAS.

Cheers,

Re: Long delays when launching programs for the first time in my Windows 7 Profile (Samba 3.4.3 as PDC)

here is my 5 pence, of a POSSIBLE cause...

if you have a large network Winbind enumuration can take a loong time,
that is if it is used in this instance...

Re: Long delays when launching programs for the first time in my Windows 7 Profile (Samba 3.4.3 as PDC)

I have seen this behaviour with overcrowded profiles, too.In my cases I have identified huge iTunes
backups and (old) installations of Google Chrome as the source for very huge profiles.

Re: Samba 3.0.23d - Solaris 10

Solaris 10 comes with Samba 3.0.x (I think 3.0.35 is the most recent) so no
need to compile it yourself.    It includes backported support for zfs
acl's.    I  have compiled Samab 3.4.x on solaris because I needed better
support for domain trusts with Windows 2003 mode domains.

Good Morning

I have not been able to find the binary file(s) for Solaris.  I have
downloaded the tarball for 3.0.23d, but when I go to run the "make all"
command I get the following error:

  make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'dynconfig.o'

I have not been able to find a workaround for it.  Do you have any
suggestions?
I am running this on a Solaris 10 (release 11/06) box.

Re: Problem with Windows XP: Cannot join Samba PDC

Hello Samba friends,

Did you check or disable possible firewalls in between the network
traffic? This is usually causing this error in my case.

Re: Password policies in the LDAP server

Hello Samba Friend,

I'm sorry that I cannot help you in finding an answer to your question,
but I'm rather interested in how you can add password policies to the
LDAP sever. Is this openldap? and how did you implement the policies?

Re: Password policies in the LDAP server

Hi

We are using 389 Directory Server (formerly Fedora Directory Server).

http://directory.fedoraproject.org/

There, regarding to password policies, you can specifiy minimum password
length, minimum digits, minimum letters, minimum uppercase, minimum
lowercase, minimum simbols, minimum ascii characters, minimum group types of
characters, password history, etc.

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/User_Account_Management.html

Regards.

Default Hidden Disk Shares

Windows automatically creates an Admin level disk share as \\server\volume$
<file:///\\server\volume$> .

Can anyone tell me if Samba automatically does the same without having to
define these in SMB.CONF?

Thanks, Robert.
