Dear Team,
		While I can log on to my Samba Server just fine, I still get this error in
it
	"Windows cannot create a profile on \\server\profiles\ikw38.pds you will
not be able to save any changes to the server
 	but you you will have local profile on the machine. No changes will be
saved.

	I looked at smb.conf file it looks to in order according to the
documentation.
	John T helped me set this up. I think it is something very simple.
	Here is the current smb.conf file


	[global]
        workgroup = xxxx
        netbios name = samuel
        server string = Samba PDC running %v
        passdb backend = tdbsam, guest
        log level = 1
        syslog = 0
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m
        max log size = 50

        logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
        logon drive = H:

        os level = 35

        idmap uid = 15000-20000
        idmap gid = 15000-20000
        printing = lprng

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[public]
        comment = A public share for vendor docs, etc.
	  path = /usr/public
        read only = No
        create mask = 0755
        force directory mode = 0755
        guest ok = Yes

[temp]
        comment = A place to drop off temporary files
        path = /tmp
        read only = No
        create mask = 0755
        force directory mode = 0755
        guest ok = Yes

[docs]
        comment = Main Document Share for important
Corporate Documents
        path = /doc
        read only = No
        create mask = 0755
        force directory mode = 0755
        guest ok = Yes

[homes]
        comment = Home directories
        valid users = %S
        read only = No
        create mask = 0755
        browseable = No

[profiles]
	comment = User Profiles (change path as needed)
        path = /var/spool/profiles
        read only = No
        profile acls = Yes



Can anyone help me out here??

Thanks
