I warned of this problem in my response - however I'm not sure if the imap situation will have an effect.
I think that with imap the outlook files don't get out of hand. The profile method avoids you having to create directories for every outlook user. I agree that the resource kit method is superior in all other cases. I don't have access to the resource kit and I imagine that other don't either. brad -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
