Hallo! I have reinstalled the server, specially the Samba PDC. I copied all the data back and the system seemed to work. People were able to log on and had the drives mapped. Now, at the day "0" after reinstall, the users cannot work. The user's settings on the "Windows 2k Professional" machines are not adopted. They all have their desktops and own documents, but the keyboard settings and outlook-express settings are not taken from the profile. I think it has to do with the users having new SIDs (as the PDC and the domain itself have changed). I am now DESPERATELY trying to get the user settings to work ... any hint? Saluti! Ludwig

I think the tool I found named profiles. I guess it's part of Samba. You take the NTUSERS.DAT of the users and change the SID with this tool. Then the keyboard mappings and outlook settings should be alright again. "profiles -c <old_SID> -n <new_SID> path_to_ntusers.dat" You get new_SID from "pdbedit -Lv username". I hope this works.
