Printer and Network Drives not mapping w/ Roaming Profile

[Guest Beyuduzz]

I am running a mixed NT/2000/2003 Server environment. I got folder

reidrection for desktop and my documents, and am testing roaming profiles

with select users. They initially had local profiles on their 12 computers,

but some users requested roaming profiles. The problem I am having is that

after setting up roaming profile path, their network drives, and printers are

still different on each machine. Any thoughts on this. There isn't anything

out of the ordinary in the event logs.

 

Thanks,

Tom

Hey Tom,

 

I am pretty sure that local printers will not roam. If you would like the

printers to follow the users I would suggest setting them up on a print

server. Are they all located on one site?

Sorry, They are on a printer server. We install them using con2prt. The

printer is installed via a tcpip port on the server. it's not a locally

attached printer.

I''m a novice with an advance way of thinking.
