Samba-3.0.x: Strange problems with roaming profiles

[Erlend Aasland]

Hello

I've got some strange problems with Samba-3.0.4. When using roaming
profiles, keyboard layout is set to english (instead of norwegian) and a
lot of programs wont load correctly. Setting log level = 3 revealed a
lot of errors after the netlogon-script had executed (and all shares
correctly set up). I switched to log level = 10 to get a more detailed
view of these errors (show below). Most of the errors were for a lot of
*.com, *.exe or *.dll files. There were multiple error for desktop.ini
and wdmaud.drv. I've attached my previous post (to samba at lists.samba.org)
below.

I can provide more logs if needed. In the meantime I'll keep browsing
the logs.

Hello,

I've just upgraded from Samba-2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.4. After tuning some
charset variables in smb.conf and downloading convmv I finally solved
some profile problems. All seem to work well now; I can log on to the
domain and the logon-script execute correctly. But one strange problem
remains: The keyboard layout is set to english (instead of norwegian)
when roaming profiles is used. It seems that some other language
settings are affected as well, since MS Office wants to install some extra
language settings when I start it. It seems like the registry might be
affected. Local login (e.g. Administrator login) works perfect: No
language problems - all programs behave normal.

I've googled without much luck, so I really hope that some of you might
point me in the right direction or give me some clues!

The Samba server is configured as a PDC.
