Roaming roflies

[Guest Glenn Clark]

We have a w2k3 sp2 server and lots of xp sp2 pc's. Most of our users have

roaming profiles. We have now added a couple of vista machines for testing

and wondered if there was a way of setting up a user account to use the

alternative roaming profile for vista when the user uses this machine.

 

Thanks

Glenn,

You need to Redirect folders out of the profile so they can be used in Vista

and pre-Vista logons. The profiles themselves are not compatible,

Profiles aren't compatible between OS versions (this was true for XP & 2k,

too, as well as Terminal Services)....so don't let users roam on computers

running OSes that don't match their profiles. It's really best to have

identical (or close to!) computers on a network if you're going to use

roaming profiles.
