I just received my first batch of Win 2000 machines. They will be running on an NT network, and I can't figure out how to create users so that they have the same profile whether they're logged into the local machine or the domain. Even though the account names and passwords are the same under both 2000 and NT, it insists on creating two separate profiles. Can someone tell me how to get them to use a single profile?

Just don't create local users! Use only domain accounts. Even if they will logon to local machine with network unplugged - W2K caches passwords so they'll be able to logon locally and therefore use the same profile as if in domain.

You could share the "C:\Docs and Settings" folder on each machine locally, and then in the domain account, specify the profile for your users as the local computer account profile. so when tommy attempts to logon via the domain, the computer will grab the account that is local to the computer he logs onto locally.

Just a thought.
