Hi!

Im trying to figure out how to make it easy for my users
to access their files when they log on to a computer on
our domain. We got a mix of Windows 98 and XP computers
and our server is a Windows Server 2003 Std running as a
DC. The users do not use same computer all the time.

I like the Folder Redirection GPO for My Documents but as
you all know that does not work for Windows 98.

The Home Folder feature on the user account is also nice
but i cant make it work on the 98 computers without
shareing all home folders and map the shared folder
\\server\user01 instead of \\server\home\user01

I hope someone can help me
