[Samba] Roaming Profile XP

[Adrian Chow]

hi,

Does this only occur when you use Samba as the domain controller?  Or does
it even occur when you use Windows Server as the domain controller as well
for the roaming profile?

Another question:-  Besides the wallpaper does not roam, is there other
things that does not roam?
