Thanks for the quick reply John. I tried setting the local GPO option as described in the article, but the problem still occurs. The issue described in the article is not exactly what I am experiencing - the event id is 1521. The permissions of the profile on the server are correct after it is created:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] profiles]# ls -la total 6352 drwxrwxr-x 7 root dusers 4096 May 3 10:05 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 30 15:14 .. drwx------ 13 michaelv dusers 4096 May 3 11:45 michaelv <======= where dusers is mapped to the "Domain Users" Windows group with net groupmap. The ownership of the profile on the Windows XP client also appears to be correct. I would expect the problem described in the article to be a more consistently occurring error - my problem is seemingly random, and usually works after leaving the client for a long period of time, or restarting it. I have tried experimenting with some of the other GPO settings on the client, and also setting the "profile acls = yes" option in the [Profiles] section of smb.conf, but the problem remains. Thanks for any additional help.
