Last project in school - exam actually
I'm a weee bit lost here - I'm been reading up at WiNS and configured a small network with computer from 98 to Windows 2000. Thereby made the foundation to show WiNS and other stuff in its fullest function. This works better than I actually expected it would - especially after I ironed out my bugs which caused the nslookup at the servers to report non-existing doamins and that kinda stuff.
HOWEVER... I also got a second primary option: User Security - and that's of course always a great subject to bring up. Currently I'm a little out of clues to what this actually does involve, but our group has decided to use mandatory roaming profiles and the possibility to only save stuff at their distributed ( mapped ) drive ( maybe DFS ).
And here comes the problem - how on earth do you create those mandatory profiles for Win98 / ME clients at a Win2K DC ? Also keeping in mind that there's a Win2K WS in the play.
I've tested a few things... currently only normal roaming profiles, but sometimes it worked but mostly it didn't... and it always saved the settings at the local computers drive / user folder.
If somebody can provide me with a good detailed guide to work out this magic, would I be very pleased.
Also for those of you which can't help out here, but took the time to read this post thru' - please come with your input of what we should consider when thinking at User Security.
oh and last thing - can you disable the sh.. with just hitting escape and thereby bypassing the login at Win98 / ME.
... how I hate these old crap systems
