| How do you set up a roaming a profile ina a domain? | |

| If a computer is running Windows 2000 Server on a network, users can store their profiles on the server. These profiles are called roaming user profiles. The advantage of roaming user profiles is that users do not need to create a profile on each computer used on the network. A user's unique profile is automatically available when he or she logs on to any computer on the network running Windows 2000.
To create or modify a roaming user profile, the administrator selects System from the Control Panel, then selects the User Profile tab. | |

You are leaving out some vital information, frank. You first need to create a shared folder, for example \\server1\profiles. Then you can make a subfolder for the user, for example \\server1\profiles\user1. Give that user the modify permission on his/her folder. You then go to the user profile tab, and copy the contents of his/her profile to his/her respectful folder. You then go into AD Users and Computers, and in the user properties, point the profile to the users folder. Theoretically that should be all you have to do. Once you go back into the user profile tab, you should see that it was set to roaming automatically. If you want to revert back to a local profile, just select the local radio button. | |

Very well put. I see that I left out some information too. Not a better way to explain it than MS way.  |
