I am trying to set up roving profiles for Exchange 5.5/Outlook using profgen. I wrote login script that works perfectly when run under Win2k Pro, but when I run it under Win95/98, I get error messages regarding missing or problematic dll files. I was able to get a Win95 pc to work by adding or updating dll's, but have not been able to do the same with win98. The following is an example of the error messages that I am getting on Win98:

The SAMLIB.DLL file is linked to missing export ADVAPI32.DLL:SystemFunction007.

I have replaced the advapi32.dll file with newer versions, but windows crashes during the star-up with the newer versions of the dll. Any suggestions for a fix or a work-around?
Thanks.

Are you just attempting to make roaming Outlook Profiles? or roaming profiles, (for desktops and the such)
advapi32.dll is a free system file that gets accessed a lot by perl scripts and stuff, (which I'm sure you know)
I was just thinking why youhave to do it like you do? does every one there share calendars or something?
Can you post a comment and let me know...

I am attempting to make roaming Outlook profiles. The reason that I am trying to do this is that I am in the process of setting up several new Exchange Servers, and will be moving users over to the new servers.
If I can set up roving profiles, this will enable me to change the users Outlook settings without having to visit each and every PC. It will also have the additional benefit of allowing users to be able to use Outlook to check their email when traveling to other sites, without having to use OWA (which most users dislike). If you know of a way of remotely changing Outlook settings(that actually works), please let me know.
