Note that the Outlook PST file can be stored on a network share, eliminating the need to synchronize it. However, Outlook Express files MUST be on a local drive. (I have tried moving them to a network share and ended up losing data. It's like Microsoft has written a routine to guarantee that it won't work.) You must either prevent the OE identity from being synchronized, or move the directory to a folder on the local machine which is not synchronized.
For this reason, Outlook Express is NOT RECOMMENDED in a roaming profiles environment, as the OE identity cannot be on a network share and synchronizing the files is an excercise in masochism.
For your information:
* OE identies are usually found in [%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{IDENTITY}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\*.dbx]
* Registry entry for OE store location: REG_EXPAND_SZ, [HKCU\Identities\{IDENTITY}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Store Root]
* Outlook PST files are usually found in [%USERPROFILE&\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst]
* You may also want to consider the Windows Address Book, which is a .WAB file. The registry entry that describes the path to the WAB file is REG_SZ, [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name\(Default)]

I have samba set up as primary domain controller, and have problems with my Windows XP SP2 machines. Logging in is quick, but most of the time (nine out of ten times) the logout process takes a long time - I do end up rebooting, but once I let it stay and it took a whole hour before it was logged out. It seems to act the same way for all users.
Possible sources already eliminated:
- I have disabled the synchronization of My Documents (which was also taking a long time), and have instead configured My Documents to sit on a mounted SMB homes share. Though the problems were present before this change as well (ie it was not the synchronization that was taking the time, if Windows' messages are correct). - The profile share is not the same as the homes share (because the documentation stated that that would create problems).
Anyone?
I'm running Samba 3.0.10-Debian.
