Setting up Roaming Profiles

Hi everyone,

 

I am facing a problem that I am not able to have AD users to connect to a Roaming Profile, that a path is pointing to a ReadyNAS share. When I login to the AD Windows gives me a message of "You've been singed in with a temperory profile", the settings are based on the following link.

Except for the part of the folder advanced sharing, which instead of Windows Server, ReadyNAS is taking care of the sharing permission in its "Network Access" settings. And here's the details:

 

Model : ReadyNAS 516

Firmware : 6.2.4

Windows version : Windows Server 2008 R2

 

Share settings:

Network Access > SMB > Security

  Everyone - None

  Domain Admains - READ/WRITE

  Administrator - READ/WRITE

  Allow anonymous access - None

Network Access > SMB > DFS

  Enable DFS Root - Yes

File Access > Security  (I have not changed any settings because I assume Windows have the control. Anyhow, parameters as follow)

  Folder Owner - Administrator

  Folder Group - Domain Admins

  Everyone - None

  Folder Owner - READ/WRITE

  Folder Group - READ/WRITE

  Domain Admains - READ/WRITE

  32774 - READ ONLY 

  Administrator - READ/WRITE

 

Could anyone point out where the problem could be, or it would even better if anyone could share a tutorial of setting up Roaming Profiles with OS6 ReadyNAS. Thanks

 

Tommy

    You may be better off using iSCSI and sharing the files on the LUN from your server.

     

    You can get into some issues with smb signing and how profiles expect ntfs permissions to work.

      Thanks for the solution. I have come up with a follow up question regarding on using iSCSI. As I am currently teaming up the network adapters of the NAS to a managed switch, while the connection between the switch and Windows Server terminal is a single 1GbE connection, would I need to worry about the lower data transfer rate due to the bottleneck of the connection as well as the performance hit of the services running at the Windows Server? My goal is to setup a AD with 20 users and so there will be 20 user profiles. Thanks
