[Samba] Folder Redirection with NT4 Domains (II)

[Bruno Gimenes Pereti]

I forgot one detail. The shared profile is mandatory. When I create the
profile with an user and just rename the NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN it works
only with the user I created the profile, so had to copy the NTUSER.DAT from
" C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT" to the shared profile
directory and rename it to NTUSER.MAN.

And I´d like to thank you and all the samba time for the amazing work!

Bruno Pereti.
