Hi there, SuSE 8.2 Prof.+Samba 3.0.3 / WinXP Prof clients: I made a script to create new users (creates homedir, sets permissions, creates personalized logon-batch, creates smbpasswd and something more). When the new user logs in for the first time from the client-machine (domain-logon, only domain-users, no local users), he gets default profile with the xp-style menus and so on. I tried to copy a profile from the local machine to '/home/netlogon/default user', but it doesn't work. Can I provide a default profile with predifined settings for any new domain user? How do I create it? Where to place? Anything to do to activate? thanx to all Uwe
