You need the Win98 Group Policy Editor to +set this up. It can be found on the Original full product Win98 +installation CD under tools/reskit/netadmin/poledit. You install this +using the Add/Remove Programs facility and then click on the 'Have Disk' +tab. + +Use the Group Policy Editor to create a policy file that specifies the +location of user profiles and/or the 'My Documents' etc. stuff. You then +save these settings in a file called Config.POL 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 +Win98 registry of the machine that is logging on. + +All of this is covered in the Win98 Resource Kit documentation. + +If you do not do it this way, then every so often Win98 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 Win98 machine. Hence, your symptoms +of things changing back to original settings. + +Hope this helps. I have omitted quite a lot of detail you will need to +figure out. Yell if you need more help. + +- John T. +-- +John H Terpstra +Email: jht@samba.org + |
