Hi All

I'm relatively new to W2k so apologies in advance if I'm asking dumb questions.

I want to to set up new users with roaming profiles. I've read various documentation and all seems to point to some manual effort every time user created. Is it possible to automate this process?

I was under the impression that under User Properties, profiles tab, if I set the Profile Path to something like \\fileserver\StaffDriveShare$\%username% (i.e the same as I set for Home Folder) that this would automatically create user's home directory plus Win2kProfile directory, where this profile would be automatically created based on the default user.

I'm getting errors - along lines that you do not have permission to access the %userprofile% directory. User does have full control on this directory.

Please can someone explain what is happening (or more to the point what I'm not understanding) and how to fix or at least point me to some good documentation that may explain.

Many thanks in advance
Jules
