Dear all,
i have the following problem, the outlook express & desktop settings are
being overwritten every time i change the host. i was helped by Laurent
HOFMANN (thanks a lot), who pointed out that the exclusion list in
ntuser.ini excludes Local Settings from the files, which are being
synchronized. However, I still can not figure out the way to change this
list for all users. Even if i change it manually (in the user profile on
the
server) it is being overwritten with the same exclusion list after i log
out. i also tried to make changes in the registry, but it did not help
either.
Any idia what might fix the problem? Thanks for your help.
Dimirty
