Jeremy, - Thanks for your help... We use a default user profile stored in the netlogon share. NTUSER.DAT does redirect the following folders:
Registry = [Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] Value <AppData> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 74 [0x4a] H:\.windows_settings\Application Data Value <Desktop> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 56 [0x38] H:\.windows_settings\Desktop Value <Personal> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 30 [0x1e] H:\My Documents Value <Programs> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 80 [0x50] H:\.windows_settings\Start Menu\Programs Value <Recent> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 54 [0x36] H:\.windows_settings\Recent Value <Start Menu> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 62 [0x3e] H:\.windows_settings\Start Menu Value <Startup> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 96 [0x60] H:\.windows_settings\Start Menu\Programs\Startup Value <My Pictures> of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, data length 54 [0x36] H:\My Documents\My Pictures We also add a REG_DWORD value named DeleteRoamingCache to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon \DeleteRoamingCache we also change the grouppolicy to exclude these directories in the roaming profile: Local Settings;Temporary Internet Files;History;Temp;My Documents;Desktop;Recent;Start Menu;Application Data Shouldn't the combination of these things prevent excess network traffic related to loading a roaming profile? We are using a default profile that was prepared on Win2k but all our machines are fully patched XPpro. Should we freshen up the Default User items in the netlogon folder? - Thanks, Matt Finlayson School of Engineering and Computer Science WSU Vancouver 360-546-9226 - Thanks, Matt Finlayson School of Engineering and Computer Science WSU Vancouver 360-546-9226 -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Allison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Jeremy Allison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Cochran, Wayne Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: samba@lists.samba.org, Jeremy Allison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Samba] high cpu load Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:36:55 -0700 On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 04:22:52PM -0700, Cochran, Wayne Owen wrote: > By client I assume you mean the user is explicitly asking for all > this data to be transferred.

No I don't mean the user is requesting this, I mean the client redirector on the Windows box. > Of course none of this explains why the RTF file is being stat'ed thousands > of times! Turn up the debug level on an affected smbd using smbcontrol <pid> debug 10 and then see if the client is actually requesting this data transfer. smbd doesn't stat files unless it's a client request so this may be a client issue, not a server one.
