[Samba] roaming profile corruption with windows xp client and samba PDC
roudoudou
I have roaming profile issue on my SAMBA PDC with an LDAP backend
running on FreeBSD 6.3. It seems that randomly, user's profile get
"corrupted" on windows XP. When that happens, the user log in as usual
(%userprofile% variable is set and all the share are properly
connected) but he gets a default desktop configuration (default
wallpaper, english keyboard layout...while i'm running windows xp
french edition...) and every desktop settings he try to modify are not
saved back on his profile and restored next logon. I don't know if
it's relevant but the NTUSER.DAT file is renamed Ntuser.dat when that
happens.
While trying to debug this issue, i saw a lot of the following lines
on the XP clients in %windir%\Debug\UserMode/Userenv.log file and i'm
wondering if those error messages could be related to my issue please
?

By the way, I tried to debug the issue by loading one of those
Ntuser.dat corrupted roaming profile and it seems related to a
permissiosn issue as the user hasn't full control of the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive ?? For example, when logged in with the
credentials of one those users, i can't create a DWORD registry key
under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
To workaround this issue, i have to rename the user's profile
directory on the samba server (aka mv ~user/profile
~user/profile.bak) right now...till the next time it'll happen :(
I have read a lot about this issue and it seems that it could be
related to either:
* Symantec Antivirus corporate 10. And i have this software running on
some of the domain computers but not all
* Enabling "The Cache Option for Offline Files" . And indeed, i forgot
to disable this option on some of the computers (the same where
symantec is running by the way :(
I'm on my way to fix those configurations problems but would really
appreciate any help on the userenv.log error messages pasted above
please :-)
Thanks.
