The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Roaming Profiles, Folder redirection, and usrclass.dat

Asked by sgbotsford in Samba File Server, Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: roaming, samba, folder, profile, redirection

Roaming profile problems.

1.  If I check the value of UserShellFolders all of the entries refer to \\conan\{username}\Conf\{Foldername}, where username is sbotsford and foldername is, for example, Application Data.

Despite this, the various profile folders are copied from the server to the client.

Part 1: What am I doing wrong in setting up my roaming profiles?

Folder redirection is implemented using the adm template from zenworks.

2.  Despite telling each client to not cache roaming profiles, they are not deleted on logout.
Worse, if the user logs out and I log in as administrator, I can't delete them either until I reboot the client comptuer.  If I go into Documents and Settings, it all comes down to a pair of files usrclass.dat and usrclass.dat.log.  

I've installed UPHClean from microsoft.  No log events other than the service starting and stopping show up, and the problem persists.

System environment.
Servers Samba 2.2.8a running on Freebsd.
Clients Win2k Pro, SP4
Samba server acts as PDC login server.
No active domain.
