-<title>Creating Group Prolicy Files</title>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Windows '9x</title>
-<para>
-You need the Win98 Group Policy Editor to
-set Group Profiles up under Windows '9x. It can be found on the Original
-full product Win98 installation CD under
-<filename>tools/reskit/netadmin/poledit</filename>. You install this
-using the Add/Remove Programs facility and then click on the 'Have Disk'
-tab.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Use the Group Policy Editor to create a policy file that specifies the
-location of user profiles and/or the <filename>My Documents</filename> etc.
-stuff. You then save these settings in a file called
-<filename>Config.POL</filename> that needs to be placed in
-the root of the [NETLOGON] share. If your Win98 is configured to log onto
-the Samba Domain, it will automatically read this file and update the
-Win9x/Me registry of the machine that is logging on.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-All of this is covered in the Win98 Resource Kit documentation.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you do not do it this way, then every so often Win9x/Me will check the
-integrity of the registry and will restore it's settings from the back-up
-copy of the registry it stores on each Win9x/Me machine. Hence, you will
-occasionally notice things changing back to the original settings.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The following all refers to Windows NT/200x profile migration - not to policies.
-We need a separate section on policies (NTConfig.Pol) for NT4/200x.
-</para>
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Windows NT 4</title>
-
-<para>
-Unfortunately, the Resource Kit info is Win NT4 or 200x specific.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Here is a quick guide:
-</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-
-<listitem><para>
-On your NT4 Domain Controller, right click on 'My Computer', then
-select the tab labelled 'User Profiles'.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Select a user profile you want to migrate and click on it.
-</para>
-
-<note><para>I am using the term &quot;migrate&quot; lossely. You can copy a profile to
-create a group profile. You can give the user 'Everyone' rights to the
-profile you copy this to. That is what you need to do, since your samba
-domain is not a member of a trust relationship with your NT4 PDC.</para></note>
-</listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Click the 'Copy To' button.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>In the box labelled 'Copy Profile to' add your new path, eg:
-<filename>c:\temp\foobar</filename></para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Click on the button labelled 'Change' in the "Permitted to use" box.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Click on the group 'Everyone' and then click OK. This closes the
-'chose user' box.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Now click OK.</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>
-Follow the above for every profile you need to migrate.
-</para>
-
-<sect2>
-<title>Side bar Notes</title>
-
-<para>
-You should obtain the SID of your NT4 domain. You can use smbpasswd to do
-this. Read the man page.</para>
-
-<para>
-With Samba-3.0.0 alpha code you can import all you NT4 domain accounts
-using the net samsync method. This way you can retain your profile
-settings as well as all your users.
-</para>
-
-</sect2>
-
-<sect2>
-<title>Mandatory profiles</title>
-
-<para>
-The above method can be used to create mandatory profiles also. To convert
-a group profile into a mandatory profile simply locate the NTUser.DAT file
-in the copied profile and rename it to NTUser.MAN.
-</para>
-
-</sect2>
-
-<sect2>
-<title>moveuser.exe</title>
-
-<para>
-The W2K professional resource kit has moveuser.exe. moveuser.exe changes
-the security of a profile from one user to another. This allows the account
-domain to change, and/or the user name to change.
-</para>
-
-</sect2>
-
-<sect2>
-<title>Get SID</title>
-
-<para>
-You can identify the SID by using GetSID.exe from the Windows NT Server 4.0
-Resource Kit.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Windows NT 4.0 stores the local profile information in the registry under
-the following key:
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Under the ProfileList key, there will be subkeys named with the SIDs of the
-users who have logged on to this computer. (To find the profile information
-for the user whose locally cached profile you want to move, find the SID for
-the user with the GetSID.exe utility.) Inside of the appropriate user's
-subkey, you will see a string value named ProfileImagePath.

-You must first convert the profile from a local profile to a domain

-Click on the 'Look in" area that lists the machine name, when you click
-here it will open up a selection box. Click on the domain to which the
-profile must be accessible.
-</para>
-
-<note><para>You will need to log on if a logon box opens up. Eg: In the connect
-as: MIDEARTH\root, password: mypassword.</para></note>
-</listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-To make the profile capable of being used by anyone select 'Everyone'
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Click OK. The Selection box will close.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-Now click on the 'Ok' button to create the profile in the path you
-nominated.
-</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>
-Done. You now have a profile that can be editted using the samba-3.0.0
-profiles tool.
-</para>
-
-<note>
-<para>
-Under NT/2K the use of mandotory profiles forces the use of MS Exchange
-storage of mail data. That keeps desktop profiles usable.

-<listitem><para>
-This is a security check new to Windows XP (or maybe only
-Windows XP service pack 1). It can be disabled via a group policy in
-Active Directory. The policy is:</para>
-
-<para>"Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User
-Profiles\Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders"</para>
-
-<para>...and it should be set to "Enabled".
-Does the new version of samba have an Active Directory analogue? If so,
-then you may be able to set the policy through this.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you cannot set group policies in samba, then you may be able to set
-the policy locally on each machine. If you want to try this, then do
-the following (N.B. I don't know for sure that this will work in the
-same way as a domain group policy):
-</para>
