Greetz, We want to preserve local profiles on our domain. I have configured Samba 2.2.8a as a PDC for Windows 2000 clients but see by default that the profile is set up as roaming. The profile type is also shown as roaming in the Profiles tab of the Win2k System Properties. How can we keep the user profile directory a local path for our domain users? -- Darren Spruell Sento I.S. Department darren_spruell@sento.com
