[Samba] migrating local user profiles to roaming domain profiles
I have a network of 2K and XP clients that I am migrating to a domain using Samba 3 as a PDC. I have the domain working quite well after quite a bit of tweaking. My problem is that I want people to logon to the domain, but I also want them to keep their profiles from their local users. How can I go about this? -- Andrew Gaffney -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

How can I go about this? You will need to convert each profile from a local profile to a roaming profile, then copy it from the local workstation to the profile share on the samba server. To convert the profile on XP, Right click the My Computer Icon, Select Properties, then select the Advanced Tab, locate the tool to manage Users (roughly in the middle of the panel). Click on the profile you wish to convert, then click Copy, the rest you will need to figure out. You can use tis tool to copy the profile directly to the user's profile directory. Oh, do not forget to set on this profile permission for the domain user to access the profile. You can do this with the profile conversion tool, or else using the Samba profiles tool. - 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
