samba - Jul 2007 - Keeping old profiles

Hi all.

The user did not log in samba.

Now, log in samba, how I make to keep the old profile?

I don't want that a new profile is created.

The username is the same.

Thanks in advance.




Sincerely


Walmiro Muzzi

As much as I know, (and given local user profiles) it is necessary to do a
registry update to tell Windows to load the existing profile rather than the new
one.

Given roaming profiles, then the local profile would have to be copied to the
server. Might be best to reboot the Windows box and log on with local
Administrator, make a copy of the user profile
(use InfoZip zip.exe for example), then log on with a Samba domain account to
gain network access and copy the backup of the profile to the server.
