Windows 7 clients require that a version 2 profile folder exist in the profiles$ share, which on SME Server is located in /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles

Windows 7 clients require that a version 2 profile folder exist in the profiles$ share, which on SME Server is located in /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles.

{{Note box|If you attempt to log in to a Windows 7 client with an account which does not yet have a corresponding .V2 profile folder, a temporary profile will be created. No settings will be saved to the server until the .V2 folder is created.}}

This additional profile folder is automatically provisioned for existing users when installing latest version of e-smith-samba (see [[bugzilla:5425|bug 5423]]). After this point, all new user accounts have the folder created as soon as they are added.

Any new users you add will automatically be given this additional folder, see [[bugzilla:5423|bug 5423]].

{{Note box|If version 2 profile folders are not available, Windows 7 will create a temporary profile when you log in. Should you experience this problem, make sure that your SME Server installation is fully up to date.}}

For existing users, you will need to add the folder manually:

Version 2 profiles are not compatible with Windows XP an earlier versions. If you have mixed environments you will be required to maintain two separate profiles for each user.

 

cd /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles

 

Replace <myuser> with each user account name in turn.

 

 

chmod -R 700 admin.v2
