Hi All

I'm relatively new to W2k (NetWare background - sorry!) so
apologies in advance if I'm asking dumb questions.

I am trying 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. In particular:

1) The 'default' NTFS rights given to the Profile
directory only seem to allow access to the users
themselves. I want administrators to be able to have full
control of these Profile directories and having to
manually take ownership and then assign rights to Admin
Group every time is a bit of a pain. Is it possible to
automate this process?

2) I also want new user Profiles created based on a
template Profile that I have placed on the Network. What
I've been doing, which is a very manual process, is
assigning a path to the profile directory under User
Properties, profiles tab, something like
\\fileserver\StaffProfilesShare$\%username% and then
manually copying in my template profile. Not very
efficient as you can see. Surely there must be way of
automating this??

I'd really appreciate any help on this. Perhaps someone
could point me to some good documentation that may explain.

Many thanks in advance
Jules
