Hi, since last week i am struggling with profiles of W2k & XP profiles. Here is my architecture. clients XP, Wk2 --> Server Authentification (samba+Ldap) If authetification is good, then a drive is mapped to another Samba server acting as a fileserver only. I want that when i get connected from my W2k & XP clients, all their profiles(Desktop, menus, icon etc...) need to be stored in the fileserver and not in the Authentification server. I have create a share for the profile on the filserver having the permissions 0777 and chown root.root When i connect from the W2k & XP clients, i am able to authentificate myself but i cannot write the profile to the share of the fileserver. Your helps will be much appriciated. Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
