I use Win 2000 server with W98 clients.
i created profiles for each user at \\server\profiles\%username and home folders at \\server\home\%username%.
All the profiles end up in the home folders and the profiles directory is empty. I don't want users going to their home folder and deleting the profile.
why is it happening?

You can't do what you are trying to do. You can't manage Windows 98 profiles from Windows 2000 meaning that you can't set up a group policy or anything else that will tell Windows 98 to go to the network share, where the profiles are, and use that. It's in the Windows 2000 Server book for MCSE test 70-215. Thanks, Jeremy
