migrated roaming profiles problems

[cibrahim]

Hello,

I've just set up a new RHEL 5 server with samba+openldap working as a PDC and I'm having problems with all the roaming profiles I migrated from another server in my network which had the same configuration but run on RHEL 4.

I migrated all the roaming profiles I had on my old server to the new server using the 'profiles' command to replace the SID of the old domain by the new one, and added all the Groups and Users (using the same UID and GUID) to my new machine.

The problem is that the migrated roaming profiles only work if the owner User is in the "Domain Admins" Group. If they are not in that group the Windows machines load the desktop icons when the user logs on, but no other stuff is loaded.

Users in my domain only need to be in the "Domain Users" Group to use the shares and log on in the domain.

My old server is down so that the only PDC in my network is the RHEL 5 machine.

Anyone can help?

I have a similar problem. I replaced an old existing PDC server running RHEL3 with some new hardware, I installed RHEL4 and kept same SID and SERVER NAME, restored profiles from backup, checked permissions etc. All seemed ok, until users started loosing desktop settings. After checking the profiles share, it seems no profiles are being updated on logout. Checking profiles settings on the desktops shows that the profiles are TYPE=roaming, but STATUS=temporary. All normal users have this, Domain Admins have no problems. Does anyone have any ideas on fixing this or even advice on tracing this fault. Any help much appreciated.
