[Samba] Roaming Profiles & oplocks problems

[Louis van Belle]

Chris, 

did you install the User Hive Cleanup Service

b570-42470e2f3582&displaylang=en 

on your pc's. 

maybe the Nvidia Tray icon was holding up the logoff process.
can you install the driver again and also install de UPH Clean if not
installed

Can you check this for me? 

thanx,

Louis
