I have a network that was set up by a self-taught administrator who never wrote anything down. I have had fun [ha!] reconstructing all of his work over the last couple of months and I now I'm stumped on the roaming profile limits.

There is a roaming profile in place on all users but it is not through the NTFS Disk Quota system. There is no third party disk management system that I can find. So, where are these settings hiding?

This is a domain upgraded from Windows NT, still running in mixed mode. The Active Directory, network structure, and remaining configuration is impossibly complicated.

Any help would be apprieciated.

Hi,
I think you'll find this is a group policy assignment. Check all of the gpo's that apply to your users. in the user section \ admin templates \ system \ logon \ logoff section there is a setting to limit profile size. this is a quote from the description for that setting -

"Sets the maximum size of each roaming user profile and determines the system's response when a roaming user profile reaches the maximum size."

You can access the gpo's via the users and computers snapin on thedomain controllers admin tools area. I don't know off hand if this setting can also be applied locally on each machine, so it might be worth checking there too - run gpedit.msc on your 2000 \ xp clients to see. hope this helps...
