samba - Dec 2004 - Problem with network share

Hi

I have the following problem. I had just added a windows XP Pro machine to a 
domain. This process was just fine, but when a user logs on the system 
creates the needed shares they are:
H: for homes (default, i think)
Other 2 shares for apps needed
and Z: share also mapped to the home folder.

My problem is Z. Beyond being "re-shared" this Z drive is used by a
network
application of vital importance. The use of startup system on the machine 
itself is not a solution. I just want this Z drive to be gone...so can map 
it to the correct place. This drive IS NOT being mapped by any logon scripts 
on the samba server neither on the WIN XP machine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers.

Hi,
this Z:mapping is a standard "feature" of win2k/xp if you do 
domain-logons and have set logon path to a real path.
set it to

logon path 
This disables roaming profiles and the mapping of the Z: drive
completly. if you need roaming profiles you can alternatively set

logon drive = Y:

to make windows map the profile-share to Y: instead of Z:

Hi

Thanks for the help. Couldn?t test the solution yet but it will probably fix 
my problem.

Merry christmas and happy new year...
