[profiles] and [profiles.v2] At least this is what works for me. John -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

They can NOT point to the same path. That was the point of having a .v2. Vista+ and XP profiles are not compatible with each other.

From: Christian Rost on 3 Apr 2010 18:20 Hi, IMHO both profiles can stay within the same share, so you don't need a separate .v2 share. It's the same with Windows 2003 Server and a mixture of XP/ Vista/Seven Clients. What you need to keep in mind is that Windows XP profiles are not compatible with Vista/Seven profiles - hence the ".v2" suffix and they're completely different profiles. When you're logging into Vista/Seven for the first time, your exisitng pre-Vista profile will be converted and will be renamed to <username>.v2. Each time you're logging into Vista/ Seven the "<username>.v2" profile will be updated, and each time you're logging into XP your "<username>" profile will be updated.

From: Damien Dye on 4 Apr 2010 11:40 Robert remove the .V2 share and then remove your profiles from vista/win 7 at this reg key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList then all will work as expected. -- Damien Dye BSC(hon) On 4 April 2010 16:15, <r.s1(a)gmx.at> wrote: > Hello Christian > This what I expected with Win7 clients.

I mean roaming profiles (XP and Win7) work for me with the 2 separate shares pointing to 2 different places.. I guess there are several working solutions to this problem..
