I'm not sure :/ Theres only 1 windows box, and the clients connect to it via RDP. So does that need roaming profiles?? Does it always have to create the users profile in C:\users ??
The profiles directory, profile.V2 doesn't seem to be where i thought it would be, ie whats in the smb.conf. Everyones home directory showing up in network places as a share is also a bit of a mess, and I'm not sure why they are showing up there.
