Re: [Samba] Disable roaming profiles per user
That's what I was afraid of I guess they'll just have to make sure they know how to turn their profiles by hand, otherwise make the profile small enough to be sane or deal with the hour long logon. Some people just can't realize that an email client isn't a decent file storage medium. thankfully, Outlook has a built-in 2G self-destruct feature - perhaps that is older version, but it was highly educational for those who don't have time to clean up their inbox/sent mail. Too bad (or not ;) ) we don't use Outlook, much. Mozilla products have a slightly different annoyance factor, one that includes the retarded notion of NOT putting your cache somewhere under Local Settings... and then setting a 50MB cache size. Ever tried to copy 50MB of 1-10KB files over the network? It's not fun. -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.

I'd rather do it per user since I've got about 4 people that need it set up this way and don't want to have to go set up the other 50 accounts to state profile path. I'd also like to do it server side so that these people can use as many machines as they want and/or rebuild as often as they need and not have to remember to reset to 'local' each time. -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.

On a seperate thought, would anyone like to comment on if the 'terminal server profile path' parameter is being developed and if so, how far along it is? -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
