Re: [Samba] Folder Redirection with NT4 Domains (II)
I forgot one detail. The shared profile is mandatory. When I create the profile with an user and just rename the NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN it works only with the user I created the profile, so had to copy the NTUSER.DAT from " C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT" to the shared profile directory and rename it to NTUSER.MAN. And IÂd like to thank you and all the samba time for the amazing work!

Re: [Samba] Folder Redirection with NT4 Domains (II)
Hi John and all, I didnÂt implement it in a prodution server, but itÂs working in my test server. IÂm working with poledit to redirect the "Desktop" and "My Documents" from the default profile directory to the userÂs home directory on the PDC. In the file system.adm (got it from win2000 server) there is already a police to redirect the Desktop folder, I added a police to redirect My Documents folder, I changed the NTConfig.POL (with the poledit.exe tool) and itÂs working. There is a single shared profile directory "\\PDC\profiles\template" for all domain users and the local copy of the profile is erased when the user logoff. I didnÂt finished all the tests I planned to do and there is stil some problems with implamentation that I hope I can correct til the and of the year. IÂll keep you and the list informed about the problems this environment can bring.

I'd like to see further comment on that too. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Folder Redirection with NT4 Domains (II)
> Redirecting My Documnets isn't a tricky one. Just right click -> properties and change the target location. This is automatically done in our network by changing the location in the default profile. This is then applied to every user when they first logon. Do you mean Local Settings or the Application Data folder. The Applications Data folder is part of the profile anyway. I cant see why you would want to copy the Local Settings directory with your profile. I just work with samba 2.2.8 as a part of FreeBSD ports colecction. All the workstations are Win 2K SP4. All the things runs ok but lately there are some users configured with roaming profiles that put in the desktop some folders. I recomend that they do it with links to the My documents folder opposite that creating folder in my desktop. In some users if I change this by this way ,the folders previusly deleted reapered when users close and open the logon again. I donÂt know about how to track a solution about this. All the users have the same rights and directory permisions in Unix and they are part of local administration group of Win2K boxes. I donÂt know if this is about recycle bin in samba or I have roaming profiles misconfigured.
