Hi All, We have an NT4 machine which is our PDC. I'm looking to replace this with one of our linux servers. I joined the linux server to the domain ok. Then I vampired all the accounts across which worked ok. I then switched off NT PDC, made samba the master and start samba service. Problem is we are loosing all our settings. After a quick hunt around I noticed a new profiles directory was created on my machine. To elaborate: Say we have a domain called MORGAN and a user called jbarnes: when using the NT4 PDC he had a directory under Documents and Settings called jbarnes. When he logged on to the linux PDC a new folder was created called jbarnes.MORGAN. Users loose all their settings :( Can we make windows use the same profiles directory after migration? Why is windows creating a new profile folder? Thanks in advance. Phil.
