Hi everyone, I get this problem when I connect a computer (Win 2000) to a domain (Samba on Redhat 9). When I log on to the domain for the first time, I get 2 error messages. First is: You don't have permission to use your local profile located at \\manta1\pauldell. Contact your Network Administrator Then after that I get the second message: Windows cannot find the local profile and logging you with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. 1. I don't want the profile to be roaming. Why its not making the profile local even though profile is local (as seen on the win 2000 computer) 2. Even though I don't want the profile to be roaming, I have checked the permissions on the folder pauldell on the domain controller and has full Read/Write permissions for user pauldell. Please suggest a solution. Saad.
