• W10 Pro 1903 and Samba with Roaming Profiles: "We can't sign in to your

    [see my original thread started here https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b653e756-f966-4f8f-9d13-f19a88d4cc5e/w10-pro-1903-and-samba-with-roaming-profiles-quotwe-cant-sign-in-to-your-accountquot?forum=win10itprogeneral]

    Hello,

    since the upgrade from W10 pro 1809 to 1903 roaming users can still logon, but they are 'greeted' with the message: "We can't sign in to your account", letting them know, that they are working with a temporary user profile only, and that their work will
    get lost, if they don't sign-off.


    The user profiles are handled by a samba server running in an NT4-Style DC Mode with "Single Label DNS Domain" on a Debian system.

    When the user's logged on to the 1903 machine with the temp profile, his home directory on the samba server is mapped (as usually) locally on to the network drive with the letter Z: [e.g. shown as "zurbel (\\share) (Z:)"] and he also has access to all
    other shares and it's data on the samba server.

    I had a look into the registry for ".bak" profiles, but there aren't any. so I think this is not the problem.

    As a test I created the new and clean empty user profile "zurbel" on the samba, however also this new user gets the same warning.

    The login with this user on to a 1809 system works flawlessly.

    A profile.V6 gets created and also the user's data get properly synced (back) to its directory on the samba server.

    zurbel# ls -al profile.V6/

    Same problem here.

    With users that already have folder .profile.V6 they can logon but not sync the profile, but with new users folder is not created.

    Hope someone helps, regards.
