Roaming Profiles
The HP CIFS Server, configured as a PDC, supports Roaming Profiles with the following features:
• A user's environment, preference settings, desktop settings, etc. are stored on the HP CIFS
Server
• Roaming Profiles can be created as a share, and be shared between Windows clients
• When a user logs on to a workstation in the domain, the roaming profile is downloaded
from the share which is on a HP CIFS Server configured as a PDC, to the local machine.
Upon logout, the profile is copied back to the server
Configuring Roaming Profiles
Use the following procedure to configure roaming profiles:
1. Modify or enable roaming profiles by using the global parameter named logon path, in
the smb.conf file. Example:
[global]
logon path = \\%L\profile\%U
workgroup = SAMBADOM
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
