PC home folders on Leopard … problem

[barboyz]

Hey guys hoping you can help …

I currently setup leopard server for network home folders … DNS is perfect / AFP is Perfect / OD Master is perfect … all Macs authenticate, login and access their respective home folders …

Because we run a mixed network of PC’s and Mac’s i figured the smartest thing to do was set this up to work with PC home folders …

Double checked my share and it is both AFP and SMB so the folders should be ok … can login with no issues with both XP and Vista .. but the PC’s are storing their home information locally and not in the Leopard server … I am not familiar with this aspect of the server so i am not sure what i have missed …

In workgroup manager under the windows tab i have left everything blank assuming the “Share point” and default drive of H would be ok … and with the settings blank i show a connected user in SMB …. but can not save anything but to local drive

Any idea of how i get the PC to access the home folder and stop saving locally?

so not only do you need the windows paths set in the workgroup manager but you need to change a registry entry also? I assumed all you needed was the paths set in OSX … but it would make sense that a change to windows would need to happen to point it in the right direction …

Anyone else have an idea what registry keys need to be altered to fix this?

And what would be the configuration change for roaming profiles? Also would this be a better way to address it?

Thanks Guys!
