Hi,

Ask your system administrator for confirmation but you probably have a mandatory profile set - one that gets loaded everytime you boot and you cant change that.

Cheers,
Tim.

Hi,

Its a property of you domain account. Your administrator will access it through the user manager for domains on you primary domain controller.

Actually its a worry that he doesn't know how. I'm surprised it was set up at all! Is there someone with more knowledge you can speak with?

Cheers,
Tim.

That's suspect. If your Sys Admin doesn't know that then he shouldn't be an Sys Admin. I bet he's lying to you so that you don't try to make any changes.

How come you did not answer it for me? you seem to know it but you never did answer my question, do you really know ir? or you just want to comment on it? I need someone who can really help me, I don't care if my Sys Admin is knowledgable or not.
Idon't have time to complain about my admin now
