samba - Jul 2004 - PDC without profiles?

Hi --

I'd like to try running Samba as a PDC simply for authentication -- that
is without doing any profile management, i.e. I'd like Windows to not
write anything to the network after logout. Is this possible with Samba?
I'm not seeing an obvious answer to this. Thanks!

What version of Windows are you running?

If the clients are an NT type, you just need to tell the clients not to do
roaming profiles. This is the flag at least on Windows 2000

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
"LocalProfile"=dword:00000001

BINGO! Good bye stupid roaming profile concept! Just make that part of your
process to join the workstation to the domain.
