Sure, I've got a few documents and things I've gathered together - I'll put together a solution and post it to the net. I'll let you know when its done!

I (and others?) would really apprecaite it if you posted the final solution to this problem in a single posting, when it's settled. I've been battling on and off with this too but have not produced an entirely satisfactory solution. I don't want individual profiles but do want a single desktop etc for each user, which if I understand you correctly, is what you are aiming at. At the moment I have achieved this (can't remember how!) but the user gets a message saying their profile can't be stored or located. As I have only very few XP clients they can live with that!

I'm at this very moment battling WindowsXP mandatory profiles with Samba. It all works and I plan to keep things simple by just using three versions of mandatory profiles and no policies...

Is this Samba specific, or Windows, or am I just plain wrong... But it seems that My Documents is part of a profile right? And thus, a mandatory profile doesn't seem to change the contents of My Documents when you log off! So you can't save work? Can't be right! What am I doing wrong?
