Hi Adam,

I would be very gratefull if I could have a look at your smb.conf
BTW, the version installed is 3.0.28 and the setup is simple: 1 samba server and 4 Vista workstations...
In the mean time, I did continue to search and found other pointers like:
 - Looking in My Computers/Properties/User Profiles, copy the local profile and change permissions to allow the domain.
 - Enable the "Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders"
 - Do I need "profiles acl"?
Did not have the opportunity to try those yet...
The strange thing is that the profiles on the server have been used at
least once...  I have no idea what changed in the meantime.
I have to point out that Vista does not say it cannot load the profiles...  I begin to wonder if he even tries.
Also, I found out that one of the registry fix (RequireSignOrSeal) had been reverted by Windows:
That is why I am thinking the reason is from updates...

Here's mine if there is something blatantly wrong in it:
