Hi,

We want to create a roaming profile for a user who has windows XP Pro as the workstation but the DOmain Server is Windows NT. Any ideas on how we should go about this? Any site I could visit for more info?
Appreciate all your help...

Thanks!
 
Go to user manager on the PDC and under profile path put in
\\server\yourprofilefolder\%username%

Create a folder with the user name in the directory you have made for profiles.

Log the person in to the XP box and they should be roaming. You can verify this by looking at he profiles under my computer-properties-advanced.

Dont cache profiles locally tot he PC.

Good Luck,
Van
