[Samba] moving from local profiles to roaming profiles
Hi, I'm runnung samba 3.0.24-6etch4 as PDC with local profiles in a 100% Windows XP environment (about 250 clients). Now I'd like to use samba's roaming profiles feature. I'v deployed "User Profile Hive Cleanup Service" on each client and plan to add the following entries to my smb.conf: [global] .... logon path = \\server\profile$\%U\%a .... [profile$] comment = Network Profiles Service path = /vol/profiles read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 Did I forget something or is there anything special to pay attention to (read something about cache files)? And is it possibility to start with a small number of users? If I understud the documentation correctly, the above configuration would affect to all users when log in/off the next time. Thanks, Marcus
