Working with Windows Settings
Windows users have settings for a Windows home folder, a roaming user profile, and a Windows login script. You can change these settings in the Windows pane of Workgroup Manager.
You can change user account settings in the Mac OS X Server PDC LDAP directory but not in a BDC
Changing a Windows User’s Profile Location
You can change where a Windows user’s profile settings are stored. The profile includes the user’s My Documents folder, favorites (web browser bookmarks), preference settings (such as backgrounds and event sounds), and more.
User profiles are stored in /Users/Profiles/ on the PDC server. This is an SMB share point, although it is not shown as a share point in Workgroup Manager.
You can designate a different location for a user profile, which can be a share point on the PDC server or a Windows domain member server. The share point must be configured to use SMB.
User profiles can be located in a share point or in a folder in a share point. The share point or folder used for user profiles must have the proper access privileges.
Set the owner to “root” and give the owner Read & Write permission. Set the group to the user’s primary group (which is normally “staff”) and give the group Read & Write permission. Set the permission for everyone else to None.
For instructions, see “Setting Up an SMB Share Point” on page 119.
Instead of storing a roaming profile in a share point on a server, you can designate the location of a local profile stored on the Windows computer.
