Off-line Files and the Profiles Share
Going through the event long on one of the clients of my FreeBSD/Samba domain controller, I noticed several warnings in the Userenv category. Event ID: 1525 — “Windows has detected that Offline Caching is enabled on the Roaming Profile share – to avoid potential profile corruption, Offline Caching must be disabled on shares where roaming user profiles are stored.”
A quick hunt through the smb.conf man page leads to the section on the csc policy setting. The Samba client-side caching policy, or csc policy, needs to be set to "disable" on a roaming profile share. Added line "csc policy = disable" to [Profiles] section of smb.conf and restarted Samba. This clears up the warnings. A small point but I like clean logs.
