Guest -Draino- Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Quick question on Roaming Profiles. This is what I want to do: 1.) When I log directly into the Server 2003 from the Server itself, I have setup a basic default profile by configuring my settings that I want on the server. 2.) I have 2 workstations (XPSP2) that I want to look the same no matter what. I have configured my profile to be different on the workstations than the server. If I add another workstation I want it to look the same as the all the other workstations. I know how to setup the profile path on the Server, but what I don't know is, what will happen. On the Server if I type \\SERVERNAME\Profiles\MY NAME in the Profiles Tab what will happen when I log on to a workstation? Will the workstation profile be copied to the server? The reason I ask is because when I log on to the Server with a profile path typed I get an error that the profile cannot be loaded. This is before I have logged on to any workstations. And what will happen the next time I log onto the Server from the Server? Will my workstation desktop follow me to the Server? (This is what I don't want) D -- For The Best Web Hosting Money Can Buy Go To: http://www.serverpoint.com/1028.html

One to use daily in the workstations and one to use on the server. Use roaming on the workstations profile and leave the server profile local.

In the future, please don't multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups (separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread. Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and may lead to your actually getting *less* help rather than more.
