I could do with some help getting my head around a Windows/Samba issue. I have a set of windows machines currently authenticating against a PC-Netlink server (Sun Samba equiv). The netlink server set all machines to save profiles locally (on the users harddrives).
I tried migrating the settings up to the samba server and also changing the samba server to save the profiles locally (not desired). Nothing seemed to work completely. We ended up with having users desktops etc, but loosing registry settings etc. The local settings are held in 'user.domain' format, post the change to samba the same settings are held in 'user' on the machine. I'd much rather migrate the local settings up to the samba server (to enable roaming profiles etc), but the best we can do is to get the desktop up there. My guess is that its something to do with 'ntuser.dat' which I think is the bit of the registry that sets the user prefs. Not had any luck in playing with it though. I've done a lot of samba work in the past, but never had to migrate profiles etc. A google shows up various people having similar problems and a few 'possible' fixes - nothing concerete though. Anyone seen/done this before and able to offer any suggestions? Greeno -- Tony Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tel : +61-(0)2-9500-9996
