Hi All, I am upgrading my Samba server to a PDC from a work group server. Question: when a client computer joins as a domain member, is his "My Documents" automatically mapped to his [homes} directory? Or, is it something I do optionally? (In my test bed, My Documents is getting mapped to his "C:\Documents and Settings...") Many thanks, -T

I know its a little un samba ish, but we force this registry change via the login scripts and its pretty useful - you might want to turn off Offline Files in windows to sync all folders otherwise when any user logs off it tries to sync all other users and this prompts for their password. Logon.bat: regedit /s \\<server_IP_or_name>\netlogon\user_shell_folder.reg user_shell_folder.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Personal"="h:\\" "My Pictures"="h:\\My Pictures" "My Music"="h:\\My Music" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "Personal"="h:\\" "My Pictures"="h:\\My Pictures" "My Music"="h:\\My Music" Assuming h: is the users mapped drive letter.
