Hi all,

I am a technicain in a School runnging a network with windows 98 clients and
a (dare i say it.......) Mandrake Linux server running samba.
As win 98 is bein phased out we are having to upgrade the clients to windows
XP. I have been searching around everywhere to try and find a way of
effectively disabling user profiles, so that every user has the same profile
(as students do not need to personlise the PCs)
Hope you can help as i have already wasted far to much time tryin to find
this out!

Ben

Thanks Malke this is very helpful!
But from reading these articles it seems that each user still gets a profile
created for them (which will be stored on either the local machine or the
server), is the correct?
Is there any way of stopping this so no individual profiles are created? Or
am i asking a bit much?
