I am having a problem with roaming profiles that I was hoping someone here
could give me an answer to.
I work at a small charter school with 200 students.
We have an older Windows 2000 server and about 40 workstations (all with
Windows XP Pro)
We want to give each student their own login but we want them all to share a
roaming profile. I created a default profile that I want to use. However,
when I assign more than one login with the UNC path to that profile I get a
security error and then it loads a local profile. I shared the folder and
set the security rights to everyone and it still doesn't work. I also tried
granting the folder with security rights to match the individual login and
that doesn't work. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you.
 
Hello Geoffrey,

Why not create a profile folder for each user? IOs it about diskspace? Then
you can configure a GPO to limit the profile size.

Best regards

You may need a "Mandatory User Profile". These links might help:
