OK, I've finally got my Samba-LDAP PDC operational. Everything seems to work fine but it takes an age to save settings when logging off. What can I do (i.e. what would one normally do) to speed things up? I do have a huge volume of files under ~/profile/My Documents Will this affect the logoff time? Jim C.

I encourage my users to keep their files on the server and work on them in place. I redirect My Documents to their home directory on the server. I also move mozilla's cache into their Local Settings folder We use IMAP to reduce the amount of mail stored in the profile. You could also increase the speed of your network... note: this is not a samba specific problem brad -- Bradley W. Langhorst <brad@langhorst.com>

Disable roaming profiles. To do this on XP pro run gpedit.msc ...then enable : Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles/Only allow local user profiles. there is another setting of interest as well: Prevent roaming profiles uploaded to server........or similar. Maybe there is a way to do this enmass....via a logon script? hope this helps Richard Coates.
