Title: Not sync roaming profile and slow
Post by: ricardocenteno on December 24, 2019, 11:46:24 pm
Hello everyone.
I installed the zentyal server to be AD and File Server, among the features, decided to share a folder to behave as roaming profile, put the ACL for all users of the domain. In a local profile with 1.5gb of files stayed for over 40 minutes on a GB network.
I noticed that the zentyal storage space jumped from 12GB occupied to 52GB, I went to check and noticed the syslog file that was this size. I could not open the file to interpret the log, it seems that in some process of profile copying, something is looping.
Has anyone caught this problem?
PS: Translated Google Translate. :)
Thanks!!!

In my experience there are two ways of using roaming profiles wisely: in an ideal world with users who deserve the sysadmin title or through  folder redirection (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Windows_Profile_Folder_Redirections#Using_a_Group_Policy_Preference (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Windows_Profile_Folder_Redirections#Using_a_Group_Policy_Preference))

I don't understand how nor why did you configure a shared folder to reach this goal. Use the default Zentyal options, simply enable the Roaming Profiles option in the webadmin Domain menu... Zentyal manages all these stuff for you!

I do it this way because I came from Windows AD, I always chose to share a folder in a hidden way, whose Zentyal "does not leave" and where users' profiles are stored. From there I create a roaming profile GPO, so I can have better control for who or to which computer I want to assign the roaming profile through delegations using Group Policy (RSAT).
The curious thing is that when I log in for the first time and log off everything goes perfectly, so I decided to put the saved files from the old profile and everything locked, I decided to do a test with a smaller file volume and it worked too.
I don't know if this is a mistake or something Samba compatibility, but it was to work.

Anyway, thank you very much for the reply, I will try to fit in this new way to realize the mobile profile.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
