We have recently upgraded from Samba 2.0.4 to 2.2.7 on our test machine with a view to using W2K and WXp clients. We are using Samba on Solaris 7 version of Unix. Our client PC's are all NT 4, SP5. We have a default profile for users who login and load the major application (they don't see any of the NT desktop or have access to the Start button). Other users who have access to the desktop have their own profile in the ntconfig.pol file. Everything was as it should be with Samba 2.0.4. Users could save their mapped drives, run server and local applications. With Samba 2.2.7, the users can login, however, their previously stored mappings are no longer available. When they go to map a drive (say, thru Windows Explorer), they receive a NT message box 'Cannot change your save connection settings'. They can map to the drive during their current session, however, (as the message says) the setting are lost on subsequent logon sessions. Those users who loaded and ran the major application after logging on, now go straight to the desktop. We have set the permissions on the ../home/<user_home> to 777 (their profile is stored in here), but this has made no difference. We have created a new ntconfig.pol file (all default options), this has made no difference. I do not want to stay at Samba 2.0.4, I need to upgrade to 2.2.7. We have searched thru various forums for possible solutions, but have found none. This is my first posting to this group, which i am hoping can point me in the correct direction to resolve this challenge. I feel like the sailor with one foot on the boat and the other on the jetty and unsure which way to jump.
