Hash: SHA1
Hmm..
Surely there's someway to make a non-changable profiles for all users? I mean, Windows 2000 Server can do this, and so could NT4...

registry file contains ACLs, and unless you set the ACLs to allow
everyone to use the profile it won't work (regradless of the server).
However, some features won't work right if you do this, such as the list
of last-opened files in many applications won't be updated, since this
information is store in the registry.
AFAIK, windows requires write access to the profile, otherwise it won't
All users are using the same profile share; the concept is that
there's an "Admin" user which can read/write to this, so I can setup
things such as Internet Explorer settings / Desktop/Start Menu items /
color scheme, etc..., and all other users only have read only access
to this share, yet use the same profile.
load it (or it may, but will warn you that your changes will be lost
everytime you log in). You can enforce a lot of these settings by
policies, however the policy implementation changed with windows 2000 to
use AD, and policy files don't quite seem to work as they should with
windows 2000. And policies didn't seem to be very robust with NT4
anyway. We don't use policies that much any more, since they broke the
one (expensive) application everyone here uses.
For desktop/start menu items, you can use the "All Users" profile on the
client machine, I don't think the "All Users" profile can reside
server-side.
At the moment each user's trying to create its own profile, which
isn't what I want (and isn't possible, considering the fact its a read
only share).
If it makes any difference, I'm using jelmer's mysql module, and all
users are in the same unix group.
Don't think it would make a difference.
