We simply using the two remote desktop connections that you can use with
SBS. Another detail... Everytime I log in I get this exact message,

"Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the
default profile for the system.
DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified."

and another folder is created for the user in docs and setting. Such as
test, test.domain, test.domain001, etc.
