if your server is NT 4 then you do not need to set up policies at the local workstation you ned to do this all from the server at the run command type gpedit.msc and then users adminstrative templates here you can set policies the roaming profile is created when create the user at the server-chaeck this by looking at their user profiles if theres a files with a *.dat then its a roaming profile if its *.man then its mandatory you can change this by changing the file extention-however i would advis you do do this until you gain some more knowledge othwise you might cause more trouble for yourself.
