Important: These settings should be used only in a test environment. By changing the default location of the user profile directories or program data folders to a volume other than the System volume, you will not be able to service your Windows installation. Any updates, fixes, or service packs will fail to be applied to the installation. Microsoft does not recommend that you change the location of the user profile directories or program data folders.
In addition, some applications get confused by the different location for "My Documents". For them, you have to specify the actual location on, for example, D:.
I'm surprized that Microsoft say that because that's exactly what you do with samba or microsoft servers. You store the user home folder and his profile on the file server and have his files served from there. If you use folder redirection it's fast and transparent. L x
Well, no, you don't always do that on Samba or Microsoft servers. Only if you want to support roaming profiles do you turn that on, and only if you want to have a Domain Controller managed network. Even on Domain Controller networks, roaming profiles are not always used. (Many network managers view them as a security risk). Even for windows-only networks, I never recommend a Domain Controller or ask Samba to be a Domain Controller unless there are more than 50 users. Its just too much extra trouble. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
