[Samba] Local Profiles only

[Cybionet]

Greeting Gururajan Ramachandran,

On your Windows Workstation execute gpedit.msc, and browse the tree (for 
XP in this example): Local Computer Policy, Computer Configuration, 
Administrative Templates, System, User Profil. Find a option to autorise 
local profile only. Sorry I just have it in french (N'autoriser que les 
profils d'utilisateurs locaux).

The option is not located in the same place for Windows 2000 or Windows 
XP. However Windows 2000 need the service pack 3 and more to have this 
option.

Robert
