Can’t change Window User’s Profile Location

[ellipse]

I would like to change the Window User’s Profile Location. I’ve followed the instructions on page 85 of User Management Apple’s document unsuccussefully.

In the Windows tab of Group Management, I have enter my new SMB sharepoint :

User Profile Path : \\servername\sharename\folder\usershortname

The Window Client’s computer is recocgnized by the OD / PDC Leopard server, I can login without any problem, but at the end of the Window XP session’s, the profile is still saved at //ODMasterServer/Users/Profiles/.

The strangest is that in XP I perfectly reach \\servername\sharename\folder\ and can write what I want within.

I think that the Leopard PDC doesn’t send the correct information to the client for the profile folder path’s.

Where can I verify or change it ?

A solution would be to write a login script for the client, any idea of a short script ?

I solve partialy my problem.

I use a Windows Server 2003 with file sharing.

1) Add the server the same way you add an XP client computer in the OD domain.
2) Create a file sharing using the server admin console (DO NOT USE the file sharing on the properties of the file) choosing full access for admin and read/write access for users
3) In the security of the shared directory add the OD admistrator’s (be careful domain_name\domain_admin not only domain_admin) and give him full access.

So apparently the PDC and the SMB doesn’t work correctly in Leopard Server apart for the file /Users/Profiles.

It works more or less fine.

Now, I want to hide the home’s and profil’s file to the other users (mac or windows).
