Wilbur,
I am going on a few assumptions here.
1. You are running Active Directory on a Win2k3 Domain Controller
2. Your XP machine is joined to that domain.
3. You are logging on to the XP machines with a domain account you created
on the Domain Controller, and not logging on "Local".
The option to switch to a roaming profile WILL be greyed out at the
workstation.
Your only options from the workstation is to tell the workstation NOT to
download a roaming profile, use "Local"
Roaming profiles are controlled from Active Directory Users and Computers
console on a domain controller (DC), or from any snap in pointed to that dc.
Open the proptries of your domain user account and go to the Profile tab.
Here is where you specify a "Profile Path".
If this cell is cleared, you will NOT have a roaming profile. Keep it empty
if you dont want a Roaming Profile.
If there is a path, it must be a valid UNC path \\servername\sharename.
That account also requires write permissions to that share.
If the path is incorrect or access is denied, you will most likely see slow
response times.
You will also see slow response times if your roaming profile is very large.
Hope this helps.
Ryan
