If anybody knows i would like to know if it is posible to copy a hole userprofile from server to client when logging on. And back to server when logging off? or is it posible to edit the regdatabase to make the userprofile path a folder on the server where folder = @userid

Thanks

Glenn

I've used that on my own account and have two minuses:
-logon slows down (on slower network too much)
-if some file does not write properly (usually some file from recent folder) the whole profile corrupts.

In the connect to line i userprofiles, i have put in the sharename \\server1\users\user1

But there is also a column where i can select a drive eg. d: og Z: what is that for?

Thanks

As you maybe aware, with roaming profiles.. The caveat is that Login/Logout times are significantly increased.

Just my two bits on this.

Thanks very much for your help.

Some ideas:

When you are using roaming profiles the user profile will automatically
be transfer between client and server.
Important to know is that the logging process can be dramatically slow
down when
- number of directories and shortcuts is very great.
- number of temporary files (mostly the result of internet explorer
or other browsers)
- size of your email archive or file is very great.
Suggestion for reduction of it:
- remove unwanted shortcuts. possible to do it during the evening
on your server. all user profiles stay during the night on your server.
it is also possible to remove other unwanted files in those profiles.
==> unwanted shortcuts can be: uninstall and readme entries.
- point outlook files already on your server.
Greetings.

btw: mostly manager told your script is too slow, but mostly the amount of allocated MBytes slowdown your logging on process.

seem to have a little problem.

in user manager i wrote the user profile path to point \\server\share

This works just fine with a win2k client, but when i log on a win95 client the profile is created in c:\win95\profiles\user. and not on the server.

Any ideas ?
