Re: Back to my roaming profile again

My environment is Win 2000 Servers and a mix of Win XP Pro/Win 2000 Pro
clients.
2 DCs, one in each site. The logonserver is the one in the same site as the
client but the profile could (for some users) be on the DC in the other
site. If I try to use a local server for the profile it works fine. I have
enabled verbos logging on UserEnv and it says like:

USERENV(b8.a0) 12:45:26:078 CheckForSlowLink: The profile is across a slow
link
USERENV(b8.a0) 12:45:26:078 ParseProfilePath: Profile is across a slow link.
Ignoring roaming profile path

I have try to set the proper settings in AD to disable checking for a slow
link but without success - might I be missing something there, what is
needed?? My users belong to an OU and in the Group Policy I have disabled
slow link check.
