Hi ya, I now have five computers running in a network for family members, I currently have a win 2003 server running as a file server. Does anyone know of a clear guide for setting up roaming profiles for account logins, It would stop the kids argueing about which computer they want to use. I believe I need to set the server as a domain controller and set all the accounts on it. Any coments welcome. Kev
Yep, that's probably the most robust way to do it. Install AD on the file and print server (it should be able to do both things without breaking into too much of a sweat). Set up a share on the server - \\server\profiles$ is usually good. Add the other PCs to the AD (My computer -> properties -> network identification) Create a bunch of user accounts in the AD. In the properties for each user account, select the "account" tab and enter the profile path: \\servername\profiles$\%USERNAME% %USERNAME% will get replaced by the user name for the account; that's normal. When "johnd" next logs into the domain he'll get a default profile created in \\servername\profiles$\johnd Alternately, if you've already got a profile that you want johnd to use, simply copy that profile to \\servername\profiles$\johnd HTH Buzzy
