You can do it from the NT Control Panel->System->Profiles. The reason I suggested using the profiles tool from samba3 is that the previous poster had a problem with SIDs on his existing profiles on his domain controller. In this case, you will probably want to have the current profile retained. While you could go around to each workstation, and guess on which workstation each user most recently logged into, and copy that profile to the server, I think it would be a lot less effort, and more reliable to do this on the server. Note that the tool is only called profiles3 the Mandrake samba3 packages, where we use the major version suffix to prevent clashes with the binaries from the standard samba (2.2.x) packages to allow simultaneous installation. It's normal name should be 'profiles' Regards, Buchan -- |----------------Registered Linux User #182071-----------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
