I have a samba server with WinXP roaming profiles and now I have to have some win7 clients as well.
Is there any trick which would allowed to login any users on Winxp and Win7 with the same profile settings?
Settings contains:
– desktop settings
– network drivers
– local setting (no access to control panel etc)
These are working now with WinXP but I could not manage them on Win7. Any link or even a simple example would be really appreciated.
I know this is very brief list but if you need any more I am happy to provide more.
(sorry for my English)
every trick or possible solution would make me happy:)))
Finally I have some half result, with KIXSTART and disable UAC in Win7. Now I can map drivers from SMB but the profile is still an issue. I think I open an other question just focusing Win7 profile and will play around/merge the profiles.:) Thanks for all the comments.

No, the profile format is different between Windows XP and Windows 7; you can't use a roaming profile between these two systems, even on a native Active Directory domain.
