Hi Andre,

I have a site with all Windows 7 Professional 64bit clients, and Samba 3.4.3 with an LDAP backend. Roaming profiles are working great.

A few things come to mind.

Disk space on the profile path
Permissions on the directory

Does Windows give any error messages on logout? What filesystem are you using?

Hi Alex,

thanks for your fast reply.

Here the rights.
The profiles directory:
drwxrwxrwx 6 777 root 4096 2010-02-22 16:14 profiles

A profile:
drwx------ 15 andre.drei primgroup 4096 2010-02-19 11:12 andre.drei.V2

Space should be enough:
/dev/md3 454G 32G 400G 8% /store

The file system is ext3.

Good to hear that it can work :-)!

I have had some problems with this. One problem is caused by windows
7. I mean if I install an application and it needs to be elevated (UAC
prompt) and this elevation puts files in my profile that I do not have
permissions on in windows 7, windows pops up a box saying that my
profile was not fully synchronized. The interesting thing is it is
complaining about C: not my network side of the equation..

I have tried to eliminate this by adding excluded folders in

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ExcludeProfileDirs

I needed to do that anyways because my profile had in 4 days grown to
over 8GB (and thousands of files) causing windows to take 5 to 10
minutes to logon/logoff over a gigabit network.

Where is your profiles.v2? This is needed for Vista and above.

[profiles.v2]
