hi having a few troubles with samba profile directories. im using a windows server 2008 r2 server as a remote desktop server so the terminals connect over RDP, the windows box is then authenticating against a samba pdc. to begin with profiles just were not working so i tried a few different options in smb.conf and stumbled across one that worked... heres my smb.conf - http://pastebin.com/Kcssv9Vp but its creating the profiles in the users home directory in a directory called profile.V2, takes a long time to log in as it is waiting for the profile service, as it does when logging out. the profile is also ending up in C:\users on the windows box, (is this avaoidable? i thought it would start to fill up the relatively small harddrive space i gave to the windows vm as opposed to the samba vm). when logged in to a user account on windows, all the other users home directories are showing up in network places, so it look a bit of a mess when i just want a couple of central shared directories. any advice on any of the above? cheers
