[Samba] Re: XP Pro Folder Redirection / Roaming Profiles Question
Hi folks, I running samba 3.x in PDC mode with an ldap backend. Works great! I use roaming profiles with folder redirection on win2k, no problem. Here's the issue, I have a few machines that run xp pro that I need to give the users domain access but NOT roaming profiles. So, I have disabled roaming profiles on the pcs by using the "no propagate changes to the server" and "only allow local profiles" in the group policy editor on the pc. However, when I logon as a domain user it's still loading their domain registry and thus redirecting folders to the PDC. Is there any way around this? I want the users to be able to logon with their roaming profiles on the win2k machines but logon with a local profile on the xp pro machines. The reason is that the xp machines are media creation machines which would result in massive profiles. I am open to an alternate method to achieve the same objective. Thanks.
