In this case, you will want to do a small ADSI or WSH script to change that
for all users. Its not terribly hard and you can find script samples on the
web.
Another thing to watch out for: If you have SP4 installed on your DCs, you
need to be mindful of the owner of the profiles as they have to be Domain
Admin or the user. Otherwise, you need to set the domain GPO to ignore
ownership. You have to do this, also, if the profiles are moved to a Novell
or NSF volume.
