Im creating a new user account on the PDC and a home directory folder on the server and mapping the log in script. I have dont this countless times with no problem untill now. The account gets created and all that but the settings wont save or propogate to the server and every time the user logs on, they get the welcome screen and connect to the internet icon. The background and IE settings wont save. Also the same account is not allowed to change the passwore. I.E. a new user logs on with the temporary password and is prompted to change and confirm it, then told they do not have the priveledge of changing the password. I used to be able to "kill" the account, restart and recreate the account to correct this in the past but now it doesnt work any more. Its really PI**ing me off, any tips ?
