I searched the internet, but no clue about the issue :(

In the event log it is as eventid: 1000, source: uservenv, and in the 
log itself it says something like (translated from German):

RegLoadKey aborted. Returned value "False Parameter." for C:\Documents 
and Settings\Administrator.DOMAIN\prfCA.tmp

prfCA.tmp (and other such tmp files) are the exact copy of the 
NTConfig.POL that is saved in the netlogon directory.

I tried creating other NTConfig.POL files (with only basic setting like 
IE start site), but this message just shows all the time, and settings 
are not applied.

Any clue?

I use Windows 2000 SP4, and Samba 3.0.20.

Windows XP works fine with NTConfig.POL files and the same Samba.
