I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and Samba 3.0.1 and I can't seem
to get roaming profiles to work right. When there are no profiles
stored locally on the win2k machine, and a user logs in for the first
time, it successfully reads the profile from the server in the
\\netlogon\Default User share. Next, if you manually copy the profile
to server and login to the workstation, it will read the profile.
The problem comes in when any changes are made to the profile or if a
profile exists (for that user) on the workstation, it won't read the
profile from the server nor will it update the profile on the server
when they log off. I can't tell if this is a Windows problem or a Samba
problem, but everything looks like it set correctly in Samba and on
Windows and I just don't know what to do now!
