I have troubles with roaming profiles, It seems that particular
files/directories can't be saved to the server. I get a
STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION error. I can't figure out why.

I have a Samba4 server and an XP client for administration and user logging.
And another domain with W2k3 server and its XP client.
I use the same admin tools on XP clients for both servers.
If I compare file permissions and other settings or if I compare network
frames when logging in/out, I can see a lot of differences.

I see an "Account Unknown" for example in files permissions.

Shared permissions are set for "Authenticated Users" under W2k3 and for
"Everyone" under S4. These settings are set in smb.conf I think.
All Samba 3 options are not implemented.
etc...

I successfully created a GPO :) Yes !!!!

With Vista, 2008 server and Windows 7, users and companies may switch to
Linux. Lol. AD is useless in that case.

Let's dream that we can run a tiny AD server on a tiny Linux distribution...
I should stop dreaming :)
 
I just rebuilt my sources from git.

Thanks a lot, it very nice to exchange experiments ;)
