    I've most recently configured a Samba PDC with version 5.10. I followed each step. however, i got some problems

    here is my smb.conf:
    1. I log on a win XP as a local admin then i upload a user's profile to /home/samba/profiles and rename the profile to "tom":

    debian:/home/samba/profiles# ls -la
    drwxrwx--x 13 root users 4096 2006-03-08 00:07 tom

    I can successfully login from WinXP using the domain account "tom", but when I do, I get the following error, "Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile..."

    2. i writed a logon script and i converted the file to the Windows format by using unix2dos, but the winxp workstation never execute it:

    debian:/home/samba/netlogon/scripts# cat login.bat
    net use P: \\DEBIAN\allusers

    debian:/home/samba/netlogon/scripts# ls -al
    total 12
    drwxrwx--x 2 root users 4096 2006-03-08 00:36 .
    drwxrwx--x 3 root users 4096 2006-03-08 00:36 ..
    -rwxrwx--x 1 root users 30 2006-03-08 00:30 login.bat

    Would you please kindly help ???

    thank you so much !!!!

    Why did you copy the profile manually to the linux server. I'am not sure if the profile will work when you copy it manually. The better way is to let windows create the profile for you on the windows server after logging in as user tom.

    I think it is a security problem, in fact an ownership one.
    Make sure that the owner of the profile folder AND ALL it's SUBCONTENTS is the same as the user who is logging in. And this also applies to the group.

    No. You can do this with a proxy like Squid.
