Again - as far as I know, there is NO way to allow a machine to use the same profile for two different domains - unless, as Alex pointed out, the other domain is trusted, but you'll still only be joined to one domain. One possibility would be to make sure that the other domain has a user account created that is identical to the other one, but you will have to manually keep the passwords in sync - meaning, if you change your password on your main machin, you'll have to chage the password for that account on the other domain account to be the same. > I have found a little thing: > I have added: > - a DWORD value > - in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System" > - with name "LocalProfile" > - and value 1 (to say "Only allow local user profiles"). > I actually it works: I find again my previous profile. > > > But now, I want my "ProfileImagePath" key to be set to the unique > local profile I want to use: "c:\Users\lmhelp" > > Simply changing the value: > "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows NT > -> CurrentVersion -> ProfileList -> ProfileImagaPath" > from "c:\Users\lmhelp.<a_samba_domain_name>" > to "c:\Users\lmhelp" > doesn't work. > I cannot log in as "<a_samba_domain_name>\lmhelp" again after > that change. I would strongly urge you not to muck around with these registry settings unless you really know what you are doing... Here is a thread that discusses how user profiles are created that may be of some help, http://tiny.pl/s86h -- Best regards, Charles -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
