Hi, strange things or normal behavior? We have a samba domain and "Domain-guests" accounts that are limited to log on to only some machines, on this machines the "Domain-guests" are in the lokal admin group. All data inc settings will be deleted if you add this user to the local admin group (if the user was logged in one time before...). Here the steps how you can rebuild this behavior: 1.) log on with an "Domain-guests" account and make some settings (and store some data under "Documents and Settings") 2.) log off and add this "Domain-guests" account to the local admin group 3.) log on again with this "Domain-guests" account -> all data and all settings are gone. I was not able to find any of the files stored in this account (under "Documents and Settings") and all settings are set to the default. Is this normal? If the account is a "Domain-user" (or higher) you can add and delete them from the local admin group without the lost of data. So this only appears to the "Domain-guests". Maybe that is one of the special hidden features from M$ which let the people go berserk.... greetings and thanks for any hints! mario gzuk
Hi again, no one knows something about this behavior? The same happens if you add the "Domain-guest" account to an other local group. I will be happy if some one can point me to some documentation or give some hints about that. I have searched the internet but with this keywords you find million of pages .... with zero solutions. greetings mario Am Montag, den 18.06.2007, 11:39 +0200 schrieb Mario Gzuk:> Hi, > strange things or normal behavior?

Hi, no hints, no solution. So we take it like all other M$ problems: living with it is easier than try to find why this happens. Thank you for your advertence. greetings mario gzuk Am Mittwoch, den 20.06.2007, 10:50 +0200 schrieb Mario Gzuk:> Hi again, > no one knows something about this behavior?

The M$ documentation says the same as you, but that is not correct for domain-guests, so this behavior is completely strange.... But dont think about that any more. It is as it is, and I dont think that M$ will correct such damn things.... greetz mario
