Manjeet- The normal way to set up a roaming profile is to simply assign a profile path within the user's AD account. For example, you might enter \\server\profiles\%username% on at that AD attribute and then when the user logs off a workstation, their profile is copied up to that server and share under a folder named for the user. That is essentially all there is to it. Keep in mind that using roaming profiles makes life more complicated for you and your users, because roaming profiles can behave strangely in certain low-bandwidth scenarios and just in general they add to the complexity of troubleshooting profile problems.
Just a note that Folder Redirection of AppData in and of itself is not sufficient. Much of the Outlook profile is stored outside of AppData, specifically in the user's profile (in ntuser.dat).

Since you are running Exchange 2000, you must be running Active Directory. Are you desktop clients all Wincows 2000 or better? If so you can setup a Group Policy w/ folder redirection. Folder redirection is under GPO\User Configuration\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection. If you are only after the Outlook profile information, I think you can just redirect Application Data. (I haven't tested this.)

I want to creat the roaming profile for every user so that the user outlook configuration comes automatically, regardless of any machine he has logged in. In other words If a user is loggin on a machine first time the outllok configuration (i.e server settings and pst locations) should comes through we can say roaming profile set in the users properties. Is anyone have idea for how to do this ???? Thanks and Regards Manjeet Singh System/Email Adminisrator Innodata India Pvt Ltd 9891577239 ________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
