[Samba] Re: Group Policy for Win2k/XP

[admir]

What server are you using for your users to log in?

Is it samba or win2000? If it is samba then take a look at samba howto head
3 at samba.org . It is telling you there how to change registry for machines
to set diferent path for profile and policy updates. If you are using
win2000 server just install active directory and look at Microsoft.com for
info how to deploy security and policy settings in Active Directory.

I have not done this in a long time. That is all I can tell you for now.

regards,

Admir
