Thanks dalesit - The link looks like it just tells me about domaining the machine.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for the machine to save what i've done on the desktop for when I next login. At the moment - it forgets what was there when I last logged off.<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
Just managed to get our Mac to authenticate though our Domain Controller and AD, but need to ask about local profiles.<br />
<br />
Now when a user logs into their account - everything comes though including their home drive - but whenever they save something to the desktop and logoff - it's not there when they log back in.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to enable local profiles on a Mac? A bit like the way Windows uses local profiles on a machine?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks,<br />
<br />

Local Profiles on a Mac

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Apple Hardware

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
