2003 roaming profile

I am having a problem working with roaming profiles.
I created some users and the DC and tried to assign their profile and driver mapping but I couldn’t get it working.
Do I need to explicitly make a file? I actually create another account with admin rights and I did try to log in successfully; when I opened up the profile management I can see there are 2 files but where is this new account profile? Under User and Computer Management, I checked the new user’s properties and need to provide a path the profile and mapping. I tried to type the exact path of the shared driver but it didn’t work. Anyone got an idea? Thanks.
