I was hoping to use a mix, and not just one or the other. I did try having a "Default User" profile in netlogon, and in profiles, but it didn't do anything. I tried with various permissions and ownerships, with a blank directory, with a blank directory tree (empty dirs for the common things like My documents, etc), and with a copy of the "Default User" directory from an XP Pro box. None of the combinations seemed to work. I'm not positive I tried all combinations in both netlogon and profiles though. The samba PDC will replace an old NT domain we have here, so to start with, it needs to support local profiles. I'd like to move to roaming, with the redirection, but the important part right now is that local work. So far the only way I've gotten local profiles to work is by disabling roaming via the "logon path = " line you suggested. Before disabling them I was playing with the redirected folders via an NTConfig.POL file I made using the custom.adm template from http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html . The results were mixed, but that was probably due to my being new to it. Anyway I digress. You say that if I enable roaming profiles, and have a "Default User" profile in netlogon, I should be able to have a mix of local and roaming profiles? --Kyle -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
