[ubuntu] Samba Server Roaming Profiles: Some users occasionally unable to login

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a Ubuntu Samba Server setup to handle roaming profiles for my windows 7 machines. After a few early hiccups, everything seems to be working alright, however every once in a while a user will not be able to login at startup with an error code saying 'there are currently no logon servers available to service the login request' even though a different user right beside can login without a hitch. It takes restarting the windows machine three or four times before it finally allows the logon. Are there any special router settings i need to setup or is this a problem on the server itself?

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Samba Server Roaming Profiles: Some users occasionally unable to login

I am gathering that this sounds insane and impossible to do, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

I'd like to setup roaming profiles for my self and a couple of other users, but we don't have the resources to purchase a server. I have a VPS that I use for testing, and prototyping, etc. that's Ubuntu 12. I installed OpenLDAP on it, and I can authenticate Mac OS X Login against it.

We're having some issues with Windows 7 Roaming profiles and I was reading here that the login process can be monitored using process monitor.

"There are a couple of ways to configure Process Monitor to record logon operations: one is to use Sysinternals PsExec to launch it in the session 0 so that it survives the logoff and subsequent logon and another is to use the boot logging feature

We have a Windows Server 2008 r2 Standard and a server that everybody logs into using RDP which runs Windows Server 2003. Now when people log into the RDP server, they only use an MS-Access frontend as their shell, explorer doesn't even run. However...it appears that all of their roaming profiles are needlessly being copied over to the RDP server when they log in.

Hi all,

I want to set up Roaming Profiles on Ubuntu Server, so users can login into any computer.

Scenario

I want user to store all there files on the server and they can able to log in from any PC and access there data.

Please provide with this solution

Thanking you :popcorn:

i have setup a samba pdc and everything is okay except my profiles which when i try to create profiles for every account it creates only one profile for every users please can you help me

Morning all,

I'm replacing our old Win XP Pro office server with a HP Microserver running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.

I'm not a linux expert but I can find my way around a terminal prompt, I'm a Mac user by choice, sorry :)

The office use a mix of Win XP Pro machines and OSX Lion laptops.

First of all, sorry for my poor english.

I have correctly installed Samba 4 on my Centos 6 server. Windows pcs join correctly the domain and users have their roaming profiles working good. In our office we also have some Linux workstations with Fedora 18 joined to the Samba 4 AD Domain.

I set up a Active Directory on a server machine with Windows Server 2012 and I'd like to create some users with limitations like Windows Steady State does in Windows XP (locally).

Seen already the Windows SteadyState Handbook (with Windows Server 2008), but I'd like to know if anyone has tried this before, the limitations are the following:

1.

I've setup a FTP server in IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard and enabled Basic Authentication. I have a basic user ("Ropstah") on the server which is in the Users and Some Custom groups. I've allowed the Some Custom group read/write access on the FTP folder.

Now when I connect to the server using "Ropstah" I get the following error:

530 User cannot login

Why is this?
