+Much of the information necessary to implement System Policies and
+Roaming User Profiles in a Samba domain is the same as that for
+implementing these same items in a Windows NT 4.0 domain.

+Profiles and Policies in Windows NT 4.0</ulink> available from Microsoft.

+ To create or edit <filename>ntconfig.pol</filename> you must use

+ is included with NT Server but <emphasis>not NT Workstation</emphasis>.
+ There is a Policy Editor on a NTws
+ but it is not suitable for creating <emphasis>Domain Policies</emphasis>.
+ Further, although the Windows 95
+ Policy Editor can be installed on an NT Workstation/Server, it will not
+ work with NT policies because the registry key that are set by the policy templates.
+ However, the files from the NT Server will run happily enough on an NTws.
+ You need <filename>poledit.exe, common.adm</filename> and <filename>winnt.adm</filename>. It is convenient
+ to put the two *.adm files in <filename>c:\winnt\inf</filename> which is where
+ the binary will look for them unless told otherwise. Note also that that
+ directory is 'hidden'.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The Windows NT policy editor is also included with the Service Pack 3 (and
+ later) for Windows NT 4.0. Extract the files using <command>servicepackname /x</command>,
+ i.e. that's <command>Nt4sp6ai.exe /x</command> for service pack 6a. The policy editor,
+ <command>poledit.exe</command> and the associated template files (*.adm) should
+ be extracted as well. It is also possible to downloaded the policy template
+ files for Office97 and get a copy of the policy editor. Another possible
+ location is with the Zero Administration Kit available for download from Microsoft.

+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.

+If you do not do it this way, then every so often Win9x/Me will check the

+occasionally notice things changing back to the original settings.

+<title>Roaming 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. However, the response does not have room for a separate
+profiles location field, only the user's home share. This means that Win9X
+profiles are restricted to being in the user's home directory.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+WinNT clients send a NetSAMLogon RPC request, which contains many fields,
+including a separate field for the location of the user's profiles.
+This means that support for profiles is different for Win9X and WinNT.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Windows NT Configuration</title>
+
+<para>
+To support WinNT clients, in the [global] section of smb.conf set the
+following (for example):
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+logon path = \\profileserver\profileshare\profilepath\%U\moreprofilepath
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+The default for this option is \\%N\%U\profile, namely
+\\sambaserver\username\profile. The \\N%\%U service is created
+automatically by the [homes] service.
+If you are using a samba server for the profiles, you _must_ make the
+share specified in the logon path browseable.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+MS Windows NT/2K clients at times do not disconnect a connection to a server
+between logons. It is recommended to NOT use the <emphasis>homes</emphasis>
+meta-service name as part of the profile share path.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Windows 9X Configuration</title>
+
+<para>
+To support Win9X clients, you must use the "logon home" parameter. Samba has
+now been fixed so that "net use /home" now works as well, and it, too, relies
+on the "logon home" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+By using the logon home parameter, you are restricted to putting Win9X
+profiles in the user's home directory. But wait! There is a trick you
+can use. If you set the following in the [global] section of your
+smb.conf file:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+logon home = \\%L\%U\.profiles
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+then your Win9X clients will dutifully put their clients in a subdirectory
+of your home directory called .profiles (thus making them hidden).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Not only that, but 'net use/home' will also work, because of a feature in
+Win9X. It removes any directory stuff off the end of the home directory area
+and only uses the server and share portion. That is, it looks like you
+specified \\%L\%U for "logon home".
+</para>
+
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Win9X and WinNT Configuration</title>
+
+<para>
+You can support profiles for both Win9X and WinNT clients by setting both the
+"logon home" and "logon path" parameters. For example:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+logon home = \\%L\%U\.profiles
+logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+I have not checked what 'net use /home' does on NT when "logon home" is
+set as above.

+<title>Windows 9X Profile Setup</title>
+
+<para>
+When a user first logs in on Windows 9X, the file user.DAT is created,
+as are folders "Start Menu", "Desktop", "Programs" and "Nethood".
+These directories and their contents will be merged with the local
+versions stored in c:\windows\profiles\username on subsequent logins,
+taking the most recent from each. You will need to use the [global]
+options "preserve case = yes", "short preserve case = yes" and
+"case sensitive = no" in order to maintain capital letters in shortcuts
+in any of the profile folders.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The user.DAT file contains all the user's preferences. If you wish to
+enforce a set of preferences, rename their user.DAT file to user.MAN,
+and deny them write access to this file.
+</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ On the Windows 95 machine, go to Control Panel | Passwords and
+ select the User Profiles tab. Select the required level of
+ roaming preferences. Press OK, but do _not_ allow the computer
+ to reboot.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+
+<listitem>
+ <para>
+ On the Windows 95 machine, go to Control Panel | Network |
+ Client for Microsoft Networks | Preferences. Select 'Log on to
+ NT Domain'. Then, ensure that the Primary Logon is 'Client for
+ Microsoft Networks'. Press OK, and this time allow the computer
+ to reboot.
+ </para>
+</listitem>
+
+</orderedlist>
+
+<para>
+Under Windows 95, Profiles are downloaded from the Primary Logon.
+If you have the Primary Logon as 'Client for Novell Networks', then
+the profiles and logon script will be downloaded from your Novell
+Server. If you have the Primary Logon as 'Windows Logon', then the
+profiles will be loaded from the local machine - a bit against the
+concept of roaming profiles, if you ask me.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You will now find that the Microsoft Networks Login box contains
+[user, password, domain] instead of just [user, password]. Type in
+the samba server's domain name (or any other domain known to exist,
+but bear in mind that the user will be authenticated against this
+domain and profiles downloaded from it, if that domain logon server
+supports it), user name and user's password.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once the user has been successfully validated, the Windows 95 machine
+will inform you that 'The user has not logged on before' and asks you
+if you wish to save the user's preferences? Select 'yes'.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once the Windows 95 client comes up with the desktop, you should be able
+to examine the contents of the directory specified in the "logon path"
+on the samba server and verify that the "Desktop", "Start Menu",
+"Programs" and "Nethood" folders have been created.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+These folders will be cached locally on the client, and updated when
+the user logs off (if you haven't made them read-only by then :-).
+You will find that if the user creates further folders or short-cuts,
+that the client will merge the profile contents downloaded with the
+contents of the profile directory already on the local client, taking
+the newest folders and short-cuts from each set.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you have made the folders / files read-only on the samba server,
+then you will get errors from the w95 machine on logon and logout, as
+it attempts to merge the local and the remote profile. Basically, if
+you have any errors reported by the w95 machine, check the Unix file
+permissions and ownership rights on the profile directory contents,
+on the samba server.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you have problems creating user profiles, you can reset the user's
+local desktop cache, as shown below. When this user then next logs in,
+they will be told that they are logging in "for the first time".

+<title>Windows NT Workstation 4.0</title>
+
+<para>
+When a user first logs in to a Windows NT Workstation, the profile
+NTuser.DAT is created. The profile location can be now specified
+through the "logon path" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There is a parameter that is now available for use with NT Profiles:
+"logon drive". This should be set to "h:" or any other drive, and
+should be used in conjunction with the new "logon home" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The entry for the NT 4.0 profile is a _directory_ not a file. The NT
+help on profiles mentions that a directory is also created with a .PDS
+extension. The user, while logging in, must have write permission to
+create the full profile path (and the folder with the .PDS extension
+for those situations where it might be created.)
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In the profile directory, NT creates more folders than 95. It creates
+"Application Data" and others, as well as "Desktop", "Nethood",
+"Start Menu" and "Programs". The profile itself is stored in a file
+NTuser.DAT. Nothing appears to be stored in the .PDS directory, and
+its purpose is currently unknown.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can use the System Control Panel to copy a local profile onto
+a samba server (see NT Help on profiles: it is also capable of firing
+up the correct location in the System Control Panel for you). The
+NT Help file also mentions that renaming NTuser.DAT to NTuser.MAN
+turns a profile into a mandatory one.
+</para>

+The case of the profile is significant. The file must be called
+NTuser.DAT or, for a mandatory profile, NTuser.MAN.

+<title>Sharing Profiles between W9x/Me and NT4/200x/XP workstations</title>
+
+<para>
+Sharing of desktop profiles between Windows versions is NOT recommended.
+Desktop profiles are an evolving phenomenon and profiles for later versions
+of MS Windows clients add features that may interfere with earlier versions
+of MS Windows clients. Probably the more salient reason to NOT mix profiles
+is that when logging off an earlier version of MS Windows the older format
+of profile contents may overwrite information that belongs to the newer
+version resulting in loss of profile information content when that user logs
+on again with the newer version of MS Windows.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you then want to share the same Start Menu / Desktop with W9x/Me, you will
+need to specify a common location for the profiles. The smb.conf parameters
+that need to be common are <emphasis>logon path</emphasis> and
+<emphasis>logon home</emphasis>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you have this set up correctly, you will find separate user.DAT and
+NTuser.DAT files in the same profile directory.

-<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
-profile on the MS Windows workstation as follows:
-</para>
-

-<listitem><para>
-In the "Permitted to use" box, click on the 'Change' button.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>
-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.

-<itemizedlist>
-<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):
