samba pdc without roaming profiles 2
i'm installing a samba pdc on rh8. but i don't want to use roming profiles but local profiles ( i can't have the gig's of document and settings of every user been copy to the pdc every time a user logs in or out!).
any sugestions? thanks in advance regards |
try this
to disable roaming profiles....
Start/Run/gpedit.msc Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles/Only Allow Local User Profiles. Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles Enable both the "Prevent Roaming Profile changes from propagating to the server" setting and the "Only allow local user profiles" setting. enjoy, randomx |
sorry 4 the late response, but had been "cut off" by my isp. all sorted now.
thanks for the response. this looks just what i was looking for. i'll give it a try now. thans again, cheers |
I have a different functionlity that I would like to see using samba and different Windows flavors. I want to disable local profiles for domain logons. I believe that the profiles should be treated as shares like "autohomed" account over NFS. Doesn't this make more sense:
1.) Login - The profile is read from the PDC - The profile is not copied to the Windows box 2.) Session Usage - The profile is accessed via a share when needed 3.) Logout - The profile is already on the server - There is no need to resync the local and roaming profiles How can the above be accomplished? Advantages: There is no wasted network traffic for copying/syncing profiles There is no wasted local disk space for holding the copied profile |
yes, all u have 2 do is only set this:
Enable both the "Prevent Roaming Profile changes from propagating to the server" setting and the "Only allow local user profiles" setting. and it will work just fine edit: but u must set the path 2 the profile. not shure that it wont be copied to the workstation, though |
