There's something very annoying about roaming profiles. This little thing where if you use a profile for a non-existant SID with a valid user explorer crashes. When you accidentally deleted and had to recreate 776 accounts and all those users have to reset their profile it's a bit of a pain. The promising utility to fix the issue didn't do much good either. I did eventually poke more and get the group policies up and running for more users though. Login and logout times appear to be much better under the new system. Maybe I'll add all the ITS workers if these go well. Lunch today was
Chipotle, which always makes the day. After work I did my part of the networking project, which ended up being the server side of the order handling code. I also ended up playing around with DAAP and my DAAP to HTTP proxy. Now I have a few thousand songs in my playlist, and the system transparently handles servers being down, what passwords are needed, and tracking which songs are on which servers. I like having that much music on random - it's just cool to have no clue what the next song will be.
