Sounds like your terminal server is creating a new profile on each logon. Whats the profile path set too ?

Subject: [Samba] please wait for the user profile service...

hi all

got a windows 2008 server using samba as a primary domain controller.
also got terminal services on the windows box for remote desktops, got
some clients set up with thinstation to automatically connect to the
terminal server with rdesktop.

got a problem with logging on and off, its taking about 2 minutes to log
in, "please wait for the user profile service", time increases if theres
lots of users trying to log on at the same time.

has anyone had experience of this and can provide any assistance? does
it sound like a samba problem or a windows problem?

the samba profile settings??

i've got:
[profiles]
comment = Users profiles
path = /home/samba/profiles/%U/%U.pds
browseable = no
profile acls = yes

[profiles.v2]
comment = Users profiles for Vista and Windows 7
path = /home/samba/profiles/%U/%U.pds.v2
browseable = no
profile acls = yes

but nothing is in those directories in /home/samba/. global settings
here:
http://pastebin.com/DedrS9Uh

should i be able to use group policy management in windows to alter
profile settings? or can i do it somewhere else? i try and add the
domain to the group policy management tool and it says domain cannot be
found.

humm

do those folders exist ?

I would do the profiles diffrently because this methord is prone to problems

defining the path as follows should resolve as long as the user has
full control on there own folders.

[profiles]
comment = Users profiles
path = /home/samba/profiles/%U
browseable = no

this will create the two folders you described below and should work.



after that the windows XP hosts will work.
windows vista / 7 clients will need the profile registry keys removing
before this works.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
make sure you don't remove local user profiles.

the xp entry was just contingency, all logins are from remote desktop
connections connecting to remote desktop services on the 2008 server.

which profile registry keys need removing?

under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\ProfileList i can see directories for users (S-1-5-21-26....) and in
each is a CentralProfile entry which is "\\samba\username\profile.V2",
and a ProfileImagePath which is "C:\Users\username".

i dont want profile data in C:\Users, can it just get it all from the
samba profile dir?
