When I set up a Win 2K Pro machine for a user I would like to be able to setup a users desktop, and setup thier mapped drives, ect. the problem lies in that thier profile isn't created until they log on the first time. I can configure the desktop toa degree by copting any icons I want them to see into the "All Users" profile. but that is as far as it goes. Any sugestions on how to create thier profile before they logon? or to get it to copy a default profile that they will see the first time.

If you logon as the user you want to set up, then you will be able to have the profile just the way you want it. If you need to, you can make the user an administrator of the machine for your purposes, configure the applications you need, and once you are done, change them back to Standard or Restricted user. Hope that helps.
