Hi,
Yeah, I too had that one :-)
The problems are access rights!
So, what I did was the following:
1. I created the standard profile in WinXP (Admin)
installed the progs
set the docs and outlook-paths
started the progs (to check they are working)
set all the desktop settings (for the users!)
played A LOT with "gpedit.msc" ;-)
2. I created a 2nd admin and logged in
3. in ?System\Advanced\User Profile? I selected the Administrator
profile, ?copy to? and set the <b>access rights to ?everyone?</b>
and
copied it onto the samba server
4. I then I logged in as Admin and deleted everything I didn't need and
changed the desktop setting "to admin like"
After that I had the profile on the server with the correct rights set
:-)
Then - if you didn't copy the profile as 'root' - I did "chown
-R
root:root users.man".
directory
---------------------------------------------------------------
server:/home/profiles#
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Mar 5 11:38 users.man
smb.conf
----------------------------------------------------------------
[global]
logon path = \\%L\profiles\users.man
[profiles]
path = /home/profiles
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Well, that should do the trick.
cheers,
Markus
