The profiles are different, Vista & later use v2 profiles.
Maybe your issue is related to that as you are using roaming profiles, & you need to configure the v2 Vista profiles seperately to the older XP profiles.

Google it, as there are many articles about this, here is one:

I read about it on google search. In sme server 7 there was something about 11logonDrive files and 22logonDrive files, pratically the difference for xp and win7.
when i search in my sme server 8 i find only this:

tastiero

Your question is not clear. Please be more precise.
When you say:
"When i add a windows 7 client to my domain.........i can't see the logon drive. why?"

Are you referring to the users home drive ?
Are you referring to drive Z: ?
Commonly in SME server in the netlogon.bat file that runs when Windows starts, we specify the home drive as H: using
net use H: /home

Look in /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/netlogon.bat

IIRC save any changes to this file in Windows format ie use Notepad to edit & upload the file to your server

Did you configure the netlogon.bat file appropriately.
Do you see a H: drive ?

I think he is referring to the automatically mapped home drive in Windows XP. This doesn't show in Windows 7 without editing the netlogon.bat file.

Thanks newburns, I understand but i want to documented it in the appropriate wiki page...i'm really not good with windows environment however this ought to be in the good section. So I'd to know exactly what we have to modify to get a netlogon.bat workable on window7 and after that test it for windows 8.

tastiero, it is your turn

Here is my netlogon.bat
Code: [Select]
REM To set the time when clients logon to the domain:
net time \\servername /set /yes
REM
REM To map a home directory to drive h:
net use z: /home

But is this the standard setup? I did it before, but I just remembered I did a AFFA --rise-all recently, so I don't know if this file carried over, or is part of the new install

Last time I did this file, I had to end it with
Code: [Select]
unix2dos /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/netlogon.bat
SME 8.0
Quad 6600
8gb DDR2 800
8 TB RAID 5

I confirm,
i'm referring to the automatically mapped home drive in Windows XP. the above drive doesn't show in Windows 7 without editing the netlogon.bat file.
i've deleted the REM in the line about "net use z: /home" and then it's ok.
Now it works fine.
Thanks to all for the help. i'm trying sme server 8 since few months.

This behaviour is a known issue or it is an issue only for tastiero, if somebody can give his feedback on netlogon problem, i'm quite a newbees on windows. I do not have a W7 or a W8 to play with it as i'm in holiday, a little far from my virtualisation server, but i write this on my Todo List when i come back at home.

Tastiero, don't be affraid to ask a wiki edit right, a bugzilla account, to help the project with some dollars, what the SME Project gives to you, try to give back by your own way.

I'm not afraid about it. i use windows and linux operanting system and i believe that's problems makes us more expert :)
i want to add another thing.
in the smb.conf file the default logon drive is Z: and in the netlogon.bat the default drive is H:.
to avoid to have two drive about the same phisical drive (Z: and H:), we need to change the two configuration file with the same drive letter (Z: or H:).
thanks to everybody
