Summary of Re: how to save win profiles only on server?

[Bill Nugent]

Howdy,

There were two responses to the MarcVJ's question and I'm trying 
understand this since I bumped into this today.  Doing only 3a below 
didn't fix it for me which is what I tried on my own.

So the summary as I understand it is:

1. Control Panel/Services - set Directory Replicator Service to Automatic.
2. Control Panel/Server - under Replications, enable Import Directories.
   It looks a bit more complicated this - need to tell it a local
   directory (default okay?) and add the samba server - is this correct?
   Tomorrow morning I'll be trying out these steps but I don't have email
   there so I'd like to avoid any potential problems)

3a. On a global basis create the ntconfig.pol and place it in [netlogon]
    share as as outline by Pedro (below).  All the NT Workstations will
    then properly use the Roaming Profiles

or

3b. On a host by host basis I can follow Colovic's advice (further below)
    and edit the registry and under "Local Computer" enable
    "Delete Cachedg Roaming Profile" (or some such but I get the
    drift - IMHO the policy editor holds your hand a bit better and makes
    it easier).

Corrections are encouraged!

	Bill
