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. The following is an example configuration for the [profiles] share:

    [profiles]
    path = /var/opt/samba/profiles
    read only = no
    create mode = 600
    directory mode = 770
    writeable = yes
    browseable = no
    guest ok = no
