Hi,
Reading your email, are u implying that the default user settings are updated in the
SP3. If this is the case if you have a Default User directory under the netlogin share
does this mean it will have to updated. If this is the case then our highly modified
NTUSER.dat will need to be updated from SP3 then all the mods will need to be
reapplied. Is this the case???
Cheers

Subject: Re: [Samba] explorer.exe crashing at login
I don't think I'll be able to help solve your problem completely, but I
may be able to send you in the right direction. We recently had this
problem as well, and found that giving the users higher priviledges on
their local client machines solved the problem (which, for our users, was
not a desirable solution).
It turns out in our situation it had nothing to do with samba being
configured incorrectly, but in the fact that the ntuser.* files in their
profile directories had older (now incorrect) information in them (after
the upgrade).
The way I had to solve it was to log in the users (non-priviledged) with
out having their profiles roaming (so that Windows created a new profile
for them) and then manually copy their new ntuser.* (uh... ntuser.dat,
ntuser.dat.log and ntuser.ini, I think) files from the new profile back
into their old profile (and then setting them back up to access their old
profile) Doing this kludge solved the problem you are talking about in our
system.
I am guessing (and this is just a shot in the dark) that in our case, the
upgrade caused Winwoes (W2K) to think the domain had changed, and that
this caused the previous profile information on the client machine to be
lost (at least, when viewing ownership on the client machine, the user
name was replaced with a long string of garbage).
