(you know this type of users). :( This kind of Users are known to exist ;-) The easiests way to cut login time to something users can cope with, is to redirect the documents folder, this can be done by applying a registryfile from the login script. I can post my litle trick if you want it.
Please Rune , post your trick :) This also makes backup a lot easier to have profiles and
documents a central place. Results: My users profiles are around 5 MB pr. user logintime is low (10-15 sec) The second thing to do is to use poledit to limit the size of the profile, this way the login time is kept low. > But there is a nice-to-have feature: > An user can switch to another machine and take his own settings to > this machine (this needs roaming profile) because of broken machine or > holliday substition. > So I want to have local profiles on client systems, and from time to > time roaming profiles.

Is this possible? How can I do this? It can be done if the user has to identical accounts one on the local computer and one on the server, and he/she must keep the passwords in sync and there might be problems with users permissions. This seems a bit complicated, See easier solutions above Best Regards Rune -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
