Thanks Glen...

We purchased a test machine (we will have 4gb RAM) and the KiX script worked just fine. The roaming profile didn't. I never liked the implimentation of roaming profiles (done by the IT guy before me) so I think we will drop the idea anyway if we adopt Vista.

The HP desktop system can be retrofitted with XP Pro and I'll wait a few days to see what the user says (and the opinions of this BBS) before deciding if I will reformat and install XPPro.

My initial impression is tending towards XPPro but that may be my conservatism and reluctance to change!

Regards,
Michael
