Disable caching of profiles

[spike_uk]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to disable/prevent the chaching of user profiles locally under windows 98 when logging into a Windows NT domain????? I have found the solution for clients running NT4 but unfortunatey our school clients all run 98 and cant find any info anywhere?

When logging into the domain the client runs the login script succesfully and then asks the user if they wish to keep their personal settings every time they log on at this machine. Can we disable this diaglogue or is there a registry setting that prevents this action???

Please help as this is causing all sorts of problems.

Thanks in advance

Wes.

You mgiht be better getting help in Networking, but...

I'm pretty sure you can assign users one of two types of profile, Name.usr and name.man

The *.man suffix is the one I think you use to make the profile mandatory rather than roaming - that is, providing your logon script maps the user to the correct location, the *.man file will force the profile from the server, and not updata any local profile.

But I ain't that hot on scripting and this kind of problem, so you could maybe check out mandatory profiles at MS!!

Good luck

Are you refering to Start->settings->control panel->~passwords; 'user profiles' tab. "all users of this computer share the same preferences and desktop settings"

or are you trying to do that with a logon script?

Does this fit your need?
