The HP CIFS Server, configured as a PDC, supports Roaming Profiles with the following features:

  • A user's environment, preference settings, desktop settings, etc. are stored on the HP CIFS Server

  • Roaming Profiles can be created as a share, and be shared between Windows clients

  • When a user logs on to a workstation in the domain, the roaming profile is downloaded from the share which is on a HP CIFS Server configured as a PDC, to the local machine. Upon logout, the profile is copied back to the server

Configuring Roaming Profiles

Use the following procedure to configure roaming profiles:

  1. Modify or enable roaming profiles by using the global parameter named logon path, in the smb.conf file. Example:

    [global]

    logon path = \\%L\profile\%U

    workgroup = SAMBADOM

    security = user

    encrypt passwords = yes

    domain logon = yes

  2. Create a [profiles] share for roaming profiles. Set profile acls = yes for the profile share used for the user profile files. Do not set profile acls = yes on normal shares as this will result in incorrect ownership of the files created on those shares. The following is an example configuration for the [profiles] share:

    [profiles]

    profile acls = yes

    path = /etc/opt/samba/profiles

    read only = no

    create mode = 600

    directory mode = 770

    writeable = yes

    browseable = no

    guest ok = no
