While it may technically be possible +to configure a server as such (after all, browsing and domain logons +are two distinctly different functions), it is not a good idea to +so. You should remember that the DC must register the DOMAIN#1b netbios +name. This is the name used by Windows clients to locate the DC. +Windows clients do not distinguish between the DC and the DMB. +For this reason, it is very wise to configure the Samba DC as the DMB. +</para> + +<para> +Now back to the issue of configuring a Samba DC to use a mode other +than "security = user". If a Samba host is configured to use +another SMB server or DC in order to validate user connection +requests, then it is a fact that some other machine on the network +(the "password server") knows more about user than the Samba host. +99% of the time, this other host is a domain controller. Now +in order to operate in domain mode security, the "workgroup" parameter +must be set to the name of the Windows NT domain (which already +has a domain controller, right?) +</para> + +<para> +Therefore configuring a Samba box as a DC for a domain that +already by definition has a PDC is asking for trouble. +Therefore, you should always configure the Samba DC to be the DMB +for its domain. +</para> +</warning> + +</sect2> + + +<sect2> +<title>Configuration Instructions: Setting up Roaming User Profiles</title> + +<warning> +<para> +<emphasis>NOTE!</emphasis> Roaming profiles support is different +for Win9X and WinNT. +</para> +</warning> + +<para> +Before discussing how to configure roaming profiles, it is useful to see how +Win9X and WinNT clients implement these features. +</para> + +<para> +Win9X clients send a NetUserGetInfo request to the server to get the user's +profiles location.
