Profile Error - Solved
One of my friend have problem with users profile. The IT department change something in the domain server (linux suse 11 with Samba Server). Suddenly the users had error :
“Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logogg. Possible causes of this error include network problems of this error include network problems or insufficient security rights. If problems or insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator. DETAIL - The network name cannot be found.”
After receive that message they click OK and they got another error messages :
“Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.”
Have you experience this error ?. After a short investigation, I found the problem is in net bios name. When the ID department change something in the server, they change the netbios name.
Solution :
We change the smb.conf. in [global] we change a line from :
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
to
logon path = \\server\home\%U\profiles\.msprofile
This solved the problem. When the user login, Samba will look in /home directory to get the roaming profile for that user. You should change “server” to your server’s netbios name.
Phiew….. At last one other problem solved. I am feeling good that I can help on of my friend. That is the most important thing than Samba.
