Hello,

    Can someone give me a hand on createing Roaming Profiles.
This is what I have done.
Created a user in an OU
In the user account
I have set the proflie to me \\<computername>\users\profile\<username>
I have set a home directory \\<computername>\users\home\<username>

I want Home Directory be "My Documents" and everything under that
Profile be the rest. Unless it's possible to redirect one directory under
"application data" but that's not importent now.

Those directory's do exist on the server.

Now, this is what I want to know.
How should I set permissions on the share?
How should I set persions on the directorys (NTFS permissions)?

Then once set up.

Making the XP Proplay nicely. XP is on a laptop.
On the laptop I want to make sure Volume Shadow Copy works and
syncronization of both profiles and home directory so I can take my laptop
with me.

FYI: I use Eudora as my E-Mail Client and want to make sure the Data Files
(in Application Data) keep up to date.

I have been following directions but I keep getting errors.

The latest has been that things won't syncronize and the Home Dir setting
keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.

Just wondering if I'm missing a redirection somewhere or some other settings
or permissions.

Thank you,

TC

BTW: This is for a home domain. 2003 is a Domain Controlloer and the only
one in the network.
