Hi,

I've got a lab of 6 Windows XP machines with Office XP. The machines are
in a Windows 2003 AD Domain. The users all use a roaming mandatory
profile (directory on the server ends in .man and ntuser.dat is renamed
to ntuser.man). I can't get Office to retain settings such as macro
security, plus, every time a user opens an application it prompts for
the user name and initials. How can I get it to remember the settings
and the generic user name I supply. I tried making the profile not be
mandatory, making the changes, then returning it to being mandatory but
that didn't work.

Thanks,
Mark
