>Hello list,

>I am facing an issue which I cannot explain myself. The

>server was configured exactly as explained on the wiki for 
>roaming profiles. It works like a charm for all domain users, 
>*BUT*: if a user is member of the group "Domain Admins" it 
>*doesn't* :-( That means in detail:
>
>I create a new user "test1" and assign the correct profile 
>directory to that user (\\membersrv\profiles\test1). I add 
>this user also to the "MYDOM\Domain Admins" group. On the 
>windows client I login for the first time with "test1" user 
>and I watch the content of the linux filesystem on my member 
>server. As soon as "test1" is logged in on the client, a 
>directory membersrv:/srv/samba/profiles/test1 is created with 
>the appropriate mode and owner+group. Until here everything is 
>fine, but as soon as user "test1" logs off, *NO DATA IS 
>WRITTEN* into its roaming profile directory.

>When I remove that user "test1" from the group "Domain

>Admins" anymore, the roaming profile works like a charm as one 
>would expect. When the user logs off, data is written 
>correctly to its roaming profile.

>I don't suspect security issues on Windows or POSIX ACLs, 
>because the user "test1" can create directory "something" on

>he is allowed to create subdirs or files. I don't think that's 
>the problem. I ensured that by putting "EVERYONE" to sharing
