Thanks for the reply; it was a huge help.
Concerning the issue of Administrator access to profiles; the policy
help says that if the policy is enabled AFTER the profile is created
it will have no effect. Is there any way to change this and not
mess up the users access to the folder?
Yes, if you do it after hours and do it carefully. Take ownership as the
Administrators group (not the user!). Then change the NTFS security -
Administrators, System, and <username> = full control, and push it down the
tree.
Also, it says that the change must be made at the workstation (client
computer). Are there actually places in Windows XP Pro to make such
changes to GP and does it have to be done at each client computer?
You don't change it in the client. Check out my reply - it's a group policy
setting you make on the server.
Again, thanks,

Hi Bob,http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/en-us/management/manage_faq.mspx
Thank you for posting,
From the description, I understand you want to know what roaming
profile contains, and want to know where is the GP manager. If I am
off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.
For you first question, what is restored in a roaming profile?
=============
A user profile is a group of settings and files that defines the
environment that the system loads when a user logs on. It includes
all the user-specific configuration settings, such as program items,
screen colors, network connections, printer connections, mouse
settings, and window size and position.
Roaming profile store twelve folders and files that you can see in My
Computer -> %systemroot% -> Documents and Settings -> yourusername,
including 7 hidden folders, they are:
a). User's documents
b). Cookies.
c). Desktop.
d). Favorites.
e). Start Menu.
f). Application Data.(hidden)
g). My Recent Documents. .(hidden)
h). NetHood. .(hidden)
i). PrintHood. .(hidden)
j). SentTo. .(hidden)
k). Templates. .(hidden)
l). ntuser.dat. (hidden)
In addition, by default, the following folders are kept from
uploading to the profile folder on the central (server) sharing
which means when you log on to a different computer with the roaming
profile, the contents in the following folders will not be updated:
a) Local Settings;
b) Temporary Internet Files;
c) History;
d) Temp;
e) Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ (which is the
default path for the Outlook OST files, that mean your users'
outlook ost files will not be included in roaming profile)
Your profile is very large, because you may have a lot of files in
your documents and desktop folder. I understand you have enable my
documents redirection, But just a copy of my documents been
redirected to another place for backup and security reason, you
still have your documents in your roaming profiles.

For your second question, where to find GP manager:
===================
There are two ways to manage your group policy.
The first way is Click Start -> Administrative Tools -> Group Policy
Management to open GP manager. Unfold Forest: yourdomain.local ->
Domains -> yourdomain.local, you can see many Group Policy Object.
Right click Default Group Policy, and click edit¡ to open Group
Policy Object Editor, then you can follow the KB to configure your
group policy.
Second way is Click Start -> Server Management, In the Server
Management console, locate to Advanced Management -> Group Policy
Management, the rest steps are just the same as the first way. You
can find it yourself.
