HI-
Hope I can find some help- We have a mess. We have an
NT 4.0 server that is set with roaming profiles... Now we
are starting to add XP boxes to the workstations.
When the users login to an NT workstation it it is ok.
When they log into the XP box, they get the Windows
workstation login and we seem to be stuck...

We have 120 employees in this dept. And they do need
roaming profiles. Do I need each of them set up as a
user on every XP box? That seems to defeat the purpose
of the roaming profiles...
Do I need any special setting on the workstations - or
just the server profile setting???
ANY advice would be appreaicated.
thanks -
Cindy

Do these XP boxes have Win XP Home, or Professional? You didn't say. You
need professional to use roaming profiles, I believe!
