-You must first convert the profile from a local profile to a domain
-profile on the MS Windows workstation as follows:
-
-1. Log on as the LOCAL workstation administrator.
-
-2. Right click on the 'My Computer' Icon, select 'Properties'
-
-3. Click on the 'User Profiles' tab
-
-4. Select the profile you wish to convert (click on it once)
-
-5. Click on the button 'Copy To'
-
-6. In the "Permitted to use" box, click on the 'Change' button.
-
-7. 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.
-
-Note: You will need to log on if a logon box opens up. Eg: In the connect
-as: MIDEARTH\root, password: mypassword.
-
-8. To make the profile capable of being used by anyone select 'Everyone'
-
-9. Click OK. The Selection box will close.
-
-10. Now click on the 'Ok' button to create the profile in the path you
-nominated.
-
-Done. You now have a profile that can be editted using the samba-3.0.0
-profiles tool.
-

-
-> Keep profiles clean and small by making them mandatory.
-> See the Win2K/WinXP resource kits for details how to create a mandatory profile.
->
-> Can you do this when using Samba as a PDC? I thought you could only do
-> policies if you had a Win2K server?
-
-No difference. Samba handles the profile ACLs the same way Win2K does.
-But understand that it is the Win2K client that does all the processing
-of the SIDs on the ACLs in the profile NTUser.DAT file.
-
-
-Note:
------
-> Unless your users are using Outlook (or virtually any E-mail client for

-
-Under NT/2K the use of mandotory profiles forces the use of MS Exchange
-storage of mail data. That keeps desktop profiles usable.

- 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:
-
- "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User
- Profiles\Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders"
-
- ...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.
-
- 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):
-
- On the XP workstation log in with an Administrator account.
-
- Click: "Start", "Run"
- Type: "mmc"
- Click: "OK"
-
- A Microsoft Management Console should appear.
- Click: File, "Add/Remove Snap-in...", "Add"
- Double-Click: "Group Policy"
- Click: "Finish", "Close"
- Click: "OK"
-
- In the "Console Root" window:
- Expand: "Local Computer Policy", "Computer Configuration",
- "Administrative Templates", "System", "User Profiles"
- Double-Click: "Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile
- Folders"
- Select: "Enabled"
- Click: OK"
-
- Close the whole console. You do not need to save the settings (this
- refers to the console settings rather than the policies you have
- changed).
-
- Reboot.

-That method does not work well. 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.

-Unfortunately, the Resource Kit info is Win NT4/2K version specific.
-
-Here is a quick guide:
-
-1. On your NT4 Domain Controller, right click on 'My Computer', then
-select the tab labelled 'User Profiles'.
-
-2. Select a user profile you want to migrate and click on it.
-
-Note: I am using the term "migrate" 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.
-
-3. Click the 'Copy To' button.
-
-4. In the box labelled 'Copy Profile to' add your new path, eg:
-c:\temp\foobar
-
-5. Click on the button labelled 'Change' in the "Permitted to use" box.
-
-6. Click on the group 'Everyone' and then click OK. This closes the
-'chose user' box.
-
-7. Now click OK.
-
-Follow the above for every profile you need to migrate.
-
-
-Side bar Notes:
----------------
-You should obtain the SID of your NT4 domain. You can use smbpasswd to do
-this. Read the man page.
-
-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.
-
-Also Note:
-----------
-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.
-
-
-Next Note:
-----------
-The W2K professional resource kit has moveuser.exe:
-
-Description:
-
- 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.
-
-
-Next Note:
-----------
-You can identify the SID by using GetSID.exe from the Windows NT Server 4.0
-Resource Kit.
-
-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
-
-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.
