Hello List, i have set up a Samba PDC and it is running smoothly. Now i would like to convert my Windows Vista Profile (which i have been using locale for months now) to a server profile. How i tried to solve this or convert the profile: 1) In the system properties of Vista you can "change" the type of the user profile. Unfortinatelly the server based profile is greyed out at my user. Even if i log into vista with the administrator user. 2) I added my username to the pdc, logged in and off again (to make sure the permissions of the profile folder is okay). Now a server based naked profile exists. Then i have deleted its content and copied ALL files from my local VIsta profile into my pdc users profile folder. When i now log in my Vits box still does not use the server profile. How can i convert a local profile to a server baed one? How does this work for XP and Vista? Thanks, Mario
