How to switch off roaming profiles...

Hi,

Roaming profile is not the default on winnt, so you don't have to turn it
off if you didn't turn it on.
The profile path has to be specified on the client, as long as you don't
specify anything you will be using local profiles.. if you specify a path
you can still choose a local or remote path.. if you choose a remote
path you will have a roaming profile which can be a .dat or a .man
(which stands for mandatory roaming profile).
Cheers,

Lucio Jankok.

	Hello All,
	Well ...
	First of all run the M$ user mananger and delete any content that
might
	exist on the field "User  Profile Path:" of the user that  you want
	disable the roaming profile;
	After this, on a NT Server machine WITH SP4 or bigger, run the
	application "Poledit" and create a machine with the name of the one
that
	you want not to save or generate any roaming profile ( or use the
	"Default Computer" if  you want this rule to be applied on all
stations
	);
	Change the parameter "Choose Profile Default Operation" to "Use
Local
	Profile" ( This only exist on SP4 or bigger );
	Save everything whith the name "ntconfig.pol" on the "netlogon"
share
	of  the machine that authenticates the user;

	If you want, using NT as your workstation, the user himself can run
	Control Panel / System applet and on the User Profiles tab change
	his/her type of profile, from roaming to local.
	PS: The user must be at least a member of "Advanced Users" group at
the
	moment of this operation.

	Hope I helped ...
