[Samba] KB824141 on Win2K and Samba PDC with a mandatory profile
This one gave me a headache yesterday: Last updated version of KB824141 hotfix on a Windows 2000 workstation in a domain with Samba PDC has the following consequences: 1. When a user with a mandatory profile logs on, it doesn't load the profile correctly. The cached profile looks like a default profile - empty directories except for the NTUSER.MAN. No Desktop, no Application data ... nothing. A verbose USERENV.LOG gives a nice list of dirs and subdirs added and reconciled with result [OK]. But they are not there! 2. If the patch is installed without SP4 being installed it raises the Roaming Profiles Security problem (normally raised by Windows 2000 SP4) (see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327462), but does not install the corresponding "Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders" local group policy in the administrative templates. -- Emil Petkov
