Not that I am in any way defending MS, but if you were a company of that size with that diverse of a product line, it'd be difficult for you to keep it all documented and available as well... I think they do a "decent" job.. Always room for improvement though... I have trouble just keeping track of past KBs that I have used to help me solve issues.. There have litterally been thousands of them over the years... -----Original Message----- From: Jim Hathaway [mailto:JimH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 2:29 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: super mandatory profiles And this is done mearly by changing the root Dir of the mandatory prof to have a *.man at the end of it? As opposed the same type of login restriction happening when you set up the group policy "log off user when roaming profile fails". I'd always thought that you only needed to change the Ntuser.dat to a *.man and there you go. But because of this thread today I found the NT 4.0 specific KB article on setting up mandatories where they discussed changing the profile folder name as well. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=168476 - KB 168476 In the Windows 2000 KB articles on setting up mandatories they don't discuss this apparently still functional legacy setup option for mandatories. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=323368 - KB 323368 Live and learn I guess, too bad MS hasn't documented this behavior well.

Actually, as mentioned earlier, a "super" mandatory profile means that if for someone reason the profile is not available (for whatever reason), login is DENIED. With regular mandatory profiles, login will proceed, and you get a default or temp profile. ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online Thinssentials Utilities Using the latest software, hardware, networking technologies, proven technical expertise, proprietary software and best practices, EOL provides custom-tailored solutions for each client's mission and specific goals. http://www.go-eol.com ********************************************************** Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: http://thin.net/links.cfm *********************************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: http://thin.net/citrixlist.cfm ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online Thinssentials Utilities Using the latest software, hardware, networking technologies, proven technical expertise, proprietary software and best practices, EOL provides custom-tailored solutions for each client's mission and specific goals. http://www.go-eol.com ********************************************************** Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: http://thin.net/links.cfm *********************************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: http://thin.net/citrixlist.cfm This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
