First of all individual profiles must be enabled client-side. Go to the control panel and it is located either in "Passwords" or "Users". If I remember correctly it is different in the two operating systems. Click preserve settings for individual users. Once that is done, configure home directories for your users in the "user manager for domain". Win9x automatically copies profiles to the root of the users' home directory.

Probably the easiest reference to accomplish your goal is chapter seven of the Windows 98 Resource Kit. My experience with profiles is "Adherence to strict procedure is 90% of success". Would be happy to address any specific question... Ray
