roaming profiles

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

I would like to have 1 roaming profile for mutiple users. I have it created
and working for 1 user but I cannot get it to work for any other users. I
have checked all the settings, permissions, etc. and they are all set the
same as the user that works. I have even copied that users setting to create
a new user with the exact same settings but that did not work either. How
can I get this profile to work for mutiple users?

In order to get a single profile to work for multiple users you should
configure a group, add all users to the group, and grant full control to the
folder (and sub-folders) for the group. You then need to point all users to
the profile using the profile tab for each individual user.

I might suggest however, that you make this profile a mandatory profile
(rename ntuser.dat to ntuser.man), as if several users are using the same
profile there is more possibillities for corruption.

Paul,

You took the words right out of my mouth. Multiple users using the same
profile sounds like a problem waiting to happen!
