NT Roaming Profiles

Windows 2000 uses a different profile. Are you only having problems on the Windows 2000 machines? I am assuming all of your servers are still NT 4.0. Try creating a profile on one of the Windows 2000 machines and copying it to the server and see if the profiles load ok for that one.

Hi,
The geberal structure of profiles is the same in NT4 and Win2k, the only thing that's changed is where they are stored. besides which, the logon process for your NT4 clients is a communication between the server and themselves, and does not involve the Win2k clients at all. i guess what I'm driving at is that this should have nothing to do with you now having win2k boxes on the network. Are you getting any error message (IE 'unable to load your roaming profile' etc) on the clients ? As for the desktop - If you have applied restrictions via a poledit file then has this been altered in any way ? If you recreate it does the problem still occur ?? these are the areas that I would be looking at to begin with....

hi~~is that u ar just using roaming~??not using roaming+mandatary~??
it is quite different between nt/2000~~
so u better use mand+roaming~~then after user log out from 2000client wks, and then logon nt wks, no problem will occurr~~hope can help u~~^_^

I had the same problem. I think it lies in the fact that a winnt user now logs into a win2k box. I had my users create new profiles once they started on a win2k box and all is fine. I have winnt servers and a mix of client workstations. There is no reason that a profile should not work but I am guessing it is the differences in desktops and such between the two OS's that is keeping the old profile from being read on the new machines. If creating a new profile is not an option, I would go into the server and save the existing profile to another folder, have the user log in thereby creating a new profile and copying back the pertinent info that the user had in his previous profile...ie...favourites, docs and such.
Good luck!
