You can easily redirect the typical data store for user documents (i.e. My Documents) to any network share you want. That isn't difficult. Additionally, you can configure just about any mail client on the planet (Outlook included) to put the data store there. No big deal. There are several prob

Hello, everybody in this thread and thank you for contributing! First of all I'll change the [profile]settings in my smb.conf and see what happens. I am not sure if that hits the problem. Do I really want roaming profiles? The user should not be allowed to have personal settings on the client.

To prevent users from changing their profile you could assign to them a "mandatory profile", that is not stored back to the server and is deleted from the client upon logout. (I haven't used such a thing, I only know that it is supposed to exist.) An easier way of making the user's profile go away

I am not sure from Bernd's email what he is trying to accomplish, but there are things to consider if you are trying to do roaming profiles. With the volume of data often stored in today's profile, it is non-trivial to enable this option and I do not recommend doing so for the average user. The

Greetings! So Bernd, previously I wanted do the same, but I didn´t get success because the profiles from Windows 2000 and Windows XP are differents (when a user logs in on a Windows 2000 and after that he tries to log in on a Windows XP, it returns some errors)... But, if you want, you can look
