Cannot create local windows user profile – roaming profile is set by default

[computerpros]

I have an OS 10.4.10 Server acting as a Windows PDC.

Existing Windows XP users can bind, login and authenticate to the domain.
These users all have a LOCAL User Profile.

When I setup a NEW WinXP user, I can bind them to the Domain, log them in and authenticate to the domain, but I CAN’T change their USER PROFILE type from “Roaming Profile” to “Local Profile”. Local profile is greyed out.

Any ideas why this is now happening and how I can fix it?

Since I don’t have the storage needed to store Roaming Profiles I need all users to have a Local Profile.

Thanks, Bill

Saw your post on a forum. I have a 10.5.4 server running as a ODM and a PDC. When the windows folks log into their computer (connected to the domain created by the PDC) the server it will authenticate them. Problem is that after a while some users start to get a “can’t find profile” error. It creates them a temp one on the local machine. Usually what we do is create them a new user on the ODM and they start the process again and it works for a while but eventually they get the error again.

Ideas?
