Windows 2000 Ad network with Win2k and Winxp workstations. Looking to get the functionality of Roaming profiles with using Roaming Profiles. I would like to have a generic user login and get its desktop from a network folder. This network folder would be shared by other workstations as well. Essentially, all users logging in as that user would get the same desktop and any changes made to the desktop will be on the network location and be available for all.
