Okay, let me try to explain it the simple way as I understand it. We are running a debian-server with debian-clients and also a mixture of WIN98SE, WIN2000 and XP-clients. Users are logging in from all these four types of clients. They have one personal share on /home/username accessible from all types of clients (via SAMBA for WinXXXX-clients). This is working fine, but as soon as a user is logging into the domain on one of the WIN2000 or XP-clients for the first time on this client, the client is creating a local user-directory.
In a first step I would like to avoid this creating of local user-directories, because after a while each user has a local home-directory on every win2000/XP-client. Opening the explorer he should only find one home directory, which is his samba-share on the server. In a second step it would be great, if he is trying to save data, WORD or what ever automatically offers the users samba-share for saving data. What I do not want to offer is a personal desktop that is available from every computer he is logging in. I want to have the Win2000 or XPdesktop the same for all users. They can use the Linux-KDE-computers if they want their own desktop. How can this be achieved? Thank you for helping. Am Dienstag, 3.
