Thank you for your answer Alex. ------------------------------------- > It's not possible so far as I know. -------------------------------------
I can tell you it is possible with XP. I can log on my computer: as "<my_computer_hostname>\lmhelp" as well as "<a_samba_domain_name>\lmelp" using exactly the same profile located at "C:\Documents and Settings\lmhelp". It is very convenient. But to do so, one has to edit the registry. ----------------------------------------------------- > As soon as you unjoin/rejoin a new domain, XP will > create a username.NEWDOMAIN profile on your laptop. ----------------------------------------------------- Apparently it is what Vista is doing... A c:\Users\lmhelp.<a_samba_domain_name> is being created. ----------------------------------------------------- > The closest I can suggest is to have the laptop in > a workgroup, and just map drives as required? ----------------------------------------------------- I am not sure I understand that. NEW: ---- 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. Thanks in advance for your help. -- Lmhelp -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Vista---Profile---Local-tp20416486p20459254.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
