Re: Windows Home Directories and PDC/member servers

In our experience, this was *not* enough to disable roaming profiles because
Samba has a compiled in path. You need to hand code:
logon path =
in smb.conf (I've complained about this to Apple since the GUI provides
no way to enter an empty path).

Beware of hand-editing the smb.conf. Apple's GUI tools can do some things "behind your back" and actually restore settings that you changed! If you want to make changes to the smb.conf file that you can't address via the GUI, use "serveradmin settings smb:setting value" in the shell.

Also, you can disable roaming profiles at the client side with a registry tweak, which is how I did it for my site.
