NT server with Win98 workstations. I've noted the ability to create a user's home directory in NT, however, the instructions require using roaming profiles. I'd like to stay away from roaming, but willing to try. Will the user's default directorybe 'secured' during the setup, or does additional protection need to be applied? Trying to secure the server user files and this seems to be a way to go. Know this works under Netware, does it work in NT?

NT have all you need to securing files/folders.
When you add new user from User Manager for domain, you also can create a home directory which by default allow only that user to access it. If this home directory is not created automaticaly you can create it manual an set the permissions from properties of folder, security tab. Group all home directory as subfolders under a share folder which have full access for all domain users.
Post a comment for more detail.

If the drive with profiles on it is NTFS, the directory will be created automagically and will have permissions so the user has full control and nobody else has access.
