I don't chime in on forum threads too much, but given the number of extremely frustration and low-level problems with Leopard Server and severe lack of useful answers on various forums, this post was so nice to see--straightforward and it works. Thanks!

hi there,

sorry for bumping this up more than a year later, but I ran into the same problem as described here.

I'm on 10.5.6 server and my windows clients had the same issues with the Thumbs.db files. My users couldn't load their profile from the server because Thumbs.db was <same error as the thread starter>.

So I edited smb.conf in changing both "yes" to "no".

After restarting the smb service, the issue with Thumbs.db was gone, but now there is a new issue: Windows can't save a profile to the server because it tells me that /User Data/Templates (I hope it's Templates, I have German Windows XP systems here - folder contains some very small files with .wav, .xls endings, one was called excel4.xls) can't be read (reason: path not found) and then doesn't save anything from the profile.

If I turn no/no back to yes/yes, everything is back to "normal".

I checked, the /Templates folder is definetly in the user account on the server, permissions are fine as far as I can tell, tested with several user accounts.

Anyone had this experience? Thanks!
