Home directories copied to local machine

M

Markus Appel

Hi!
I've googled a bit but I'm not quite sure what I should search for.
We have a bunch of Win2k Clients connecting to a samba server. The
problem is that we have about 100 users sharing one computer. When a
user logs in with his account data the Win2k client copies all the
contents of the user's samba home directory to the local harddrive (into
the Documents and Settings folder). Problem now: Harddrive full! How can
I avoid that the Win2k client copies all the data? Registry? Samba
settings? Or do I have to clear the drive once in a while?

Thx
Markus
