When a user logs on for the first time the system the users logs on to wil first look in the netlogon share for a default user profile and if it does not find one it will use the default profile from the local computer the user logs on to. If you don't want the users to change the profile (as in make it mandatory) rename the NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN. What you could do is: * Create a folder named Default User in the netlogon share * Configure a default user profile as you want it and place it in the Default user folder on the netlogon share * Rename the NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN if the user will not be allowed to change the profile * Configure each user with a profile directory in its AD user object Cheers #JORGE#
