Local, roaming and temporary profile

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a little problem that I am experiencing.

 

I have just installed XP Pro and have found the domain being SUPREME, no worries there. I have been able to map a network drive to the server logging on as Administrator to the local machine.

 

This is where my problem comes in. I have a user name on the Server called monitor which my NT 4.0 Workstations can access no worries.

 

When I try to log onto the server through the XP Pro machine using the user name monitor, a message comes up saying that it can't find the local profile, it can't create a roaming profile but it will create a temp profile, settings cannot be saved once logged off the server.

 

I have then gone back into the local machine as administrator, created a user by the name of monitor but there is still no success there.

 

All my computers have a static IP address, I have set an IP Address for this computer, plus enabled the DNS server and put that IP Address in too.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions that could be the problem here.

 

I would be very grateful for suggestions/advice etc.

 

Have a lovely evening.

 

Melissa Sue
