[TriLUG] Joining an XP Workstation to a Samba PDC

[Chris Bullock]

Maybe I should be posting on a new thread but, we are getting ready to 
deploy a Samba PDC and we are running into a small prob with profiles.  
We do not have enabled nor are we enabling profiles on this new PDC.  
The Windows machines complain about not being able to find the profile 
on the PDC.  Is there a registry hack or something that will not prompt 
the user with this error?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
