Hi,
How can I activate my roaming profile ( I have adim
rights), so if I go to another workstaion my settings and
wallpaper will follow me?
Thanks
 
You need to create a location on the server that will hold your profile. It
needs to be a share, so you might want to make it a hidden share (e.g.,
profile$). Once you do that, edit your user properties to include a profile
path (on the profile tab - User profile) - something like
\\server\profile$\pegt for instance. Once you do that, you need to log in to
your machine, and your profile will be copied to the server.

Remember that while your profile follows you, your profile data stays on
each machine that you log in to. If you have files that you don't want to
share with users, don't put them on your desktop, or in the My Documents
(assuming that your users have local admin. rights, and that you use the
default location for your documents.
