I log in to two different domains but both point to the same profile on my home server. Just specify the same path/share in user manager.

The key is going to be how many users you need to do this for. The best way and the most manageable way is to create groups on each domain and place the user ID from the various domains into the groups. An example of this is: If you have user jdoe in domain ABC (Master Domain). and they need admin access to the DEF (Child Domain) domain. Use user manger for the DEF domain and add the jdoe user account from the ABC domain to the admin group. Hope this helps

If you are using roaming profiles, the location of the user's profile is wherever you designate it to be in the user's ID setup (User Mgr. for Domains, double click the user ID, go to the Profile tab and specify the location in the User Profile Pathbox). If you are not using roaming profiles, then the profile is located on the user's local system. Unless one or more of your 3 different domains are set up to use mandatory profiles, you should be able to control this quite easily simply by ensuring that all of the domains point to the same roaming profile location. Hope this helps!
