Hi The introduction is a bit long, but the question is really short (last paragraph). Here I have samba 3.0.14a (debian/stable) acting as domain member server with home dirs for domain users which are located on the w2003 r2 serwer being domain controler. I have a few problems with this setup, but it is hard to track them. Meybe answer to the question below could help me a bit. Samba once was PDC, than whe have installed w2003 and it was promoted to PDC. Also users form samba were transeferd to w2003. OK. Those users had in theirs Profiles tab (in user preferences window): Logon folder set to (for example): logon.bat and Home folder/Connect (for example): M and the path to: \\samba_serwer\user_name\.profiles. And it worked. Than I wanted to change logon sctipts to GPO specific (so removed logon.bat form Profiles tab) and also removed home drive mapping (M: and \\samba_serwer\user_name\.profiles) So now I don't have to fill in the Profiles tab for every new user, and home drive mapping is setup in the logon script: net use M: \\samba_serwer\%UserName% /PERSISTENT:NO It is working (so home dirs are mapped to M:), but I wonder why previously in the path to the user home dir there was .profiles? Now when I have omited this, should I expect some surprises from samba? Regards Piotr
