[Samba] please help...
i have the following problem, the outlook express desktop settings are being overwritten every time i change the host. i was helped by Laurent HOFMANN (thanks a lot), who pointed out that the exclusion list in ntuser.ini excludes Local Settings from the files, which are being synchronized. However, I still can not figure out the way to change this list for all users. Even if i change it manually (in the user profile on the server) it is being overwritten with the same exclusion list after i log out. i also tried to make changes in the registry, but it did not help either. Thanks in advance for your help.

What could it be? It seems that the windows machine uploads the profile to the server, but in case of start on the same machine the local profile is being used. However the new machine does not download the profile, but overwrites it with a new locally created profile. SO, as i see it the problem is: the client does not download the profile form the samba server. Please help. Thanks in advance.

[Samba] How to enforce the client to download the profile from the server
Thanks a lot for your help. The problem is partially solved. However, for the Samba Server not to overwrite the profile, I have to delete the exclusion list every time I logout from the client, i.e. ntuser.ini is being written back to the server every time i logout with the same Exclusion List, although I changed it before login in. Could you please tell me where can i change settings (may be default user on Samba Server?) so i won't get the same ntuser.ini written to the server every time i logout. Thanks you in advance!
