I'm not using roaming profiles I have found this is not reliable and
maintaining it is just to much.
Maybe the problem is that I'm not defining the users home directory. I just
select it in my list of Home Directories under "Home". The same as I would
if it was a OSX Home directory.
Are you having the Home Directories Map to the local machines? Or are they
just browsing to find the home directory?
Again I have no problem if my Home Directory is on the PDC... It maps and
everything is good. Just when I have the home on another member server... No
map, but I can browse to it.
How many concurrent Windows users do you have logged in at one time if you
don't mind me asking?
Thanks
