I have been very impressed with Samba replacing NT. I use manditory profiles, and it works like a dream. Just a pointer: Config.pol worked absolutely fine, _but_ the one thing I never sorted was group policies. I just can't get them working. Everywhere I searched it just said update your grouppol from microsoft - I did - I didn't work. There's loads of people asking the same question out there - no one seems to have an answer, so I gave up. People report that it works no problem. People say it doesn't Noone seems to have an answer of how to get from the former position into the latter. I still use Samba, and have found ways round it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo! Auctions! http://auctions.yahoo.com
