Thanks Vincent
My concerns is now that we are preparing to upgrade 2500 Windows 2000
clients to XP. The upgrade is not an "in place" upgrade. It's new Dell
machines in which we will freshly load XP. It looks that we are going to
have some problems with the profiles ?
Don't you think ?

Hi Best,.
I think the problem is:
In a mixed environment, if you use the same roaming profile to log on to a
Windows XP-based client and to a Windows 2000-based client, the roaming
profile may not work correctly. You may observe the following changes in
the user interface:
- Monitor power-saving functionality does not work correctly, which causes
flickering.
- The taskbar is not shaped right, and taskbar images may be cut off.
- Screen and program colors are not correct.
- Menu fonts do not reflect the standard setting.
- The colors that are used on menus are different.
- Some Windows Explorer file settings are different. For example, the Show
common tasks in folders check box may become selected.
Therefore, Microsoft recommend not to use roaming profile in different
software enviroment.
Hope the information helps.
Best regards,
Vincent Xu
