We're a Solaris/Linux shop, trying to migrate the last vestiges of our NT domain over to Samba. We've got a few users using Windows 20000 workstations, and for some odd reason can't get them to join the domain with local profiles. The Winboxen always try to create roaming profiles on the PDC (which we don't want), and there's no way to force a local profile, other than letting the Windows box create a profile directory when the user logs in, then setting their profile to 'local'. So, in short, we want to force the Win2K clients to use local profiles only. Any ideas? -- Don Werve <donw@examen.com> (Unix System Administrator) Yorn desh born, der ritt de gitt der gue, Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn bork! bork! bork!

Try setting 'logon path = ' in your smb.conf - but this is somthing that I'll need to chase up with some VMware sessions and a sniffer.
