Hi!<br />
<br />
I'm trying to set up a mandatory profile to use with a number of computers. I'm running a samba 2.8 that handles the logins, and in the smb.conf i have added <br />
logon path=\\%L\profile\default<br />
and the sharepoint is also specified in smb.conf.<br />
<br />
I then create a new profile locally on my computer and creates the profile I want to have as mandatory, I then copy the entire profile to the profile share and rename the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man. But when I log on to the domain windows does not load the ntuser.man but the \\HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT settings. Other files from the default profile, like the startmenu objects are transferred okay.<br />
<br />
As I understand it the logon path setting in smb.conf replaces the profile path setting in a local user account, can anyone confirm that? Does anyone have a clue to why this is not working?<br />
<br />
Regards, Linus

WinXP - Setting up mandatory profiles

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
