Subject: Windows 2000 roaming profiles / folder redirection
Hello Everyone,
I'm having a problem with Windows 2000 roaming profiles and folder
redirection. We have a Win2K domain controller with numerically generated
class accounts, CS100s01, CS100s02, ..... In Windows NT you could highlight
all these users, go to the properties on the menu and set the profile
information for all of them at once, for instance setting the roaming
profile info to \\servername\profile_directory\%USERNAME%. When the user
logs in the profile that is loaded would be their own because the account
name is substituted for the %USERNAME%.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this in Windows 2000 with AD?
Somehow there does not seem to be an option to set multiple user properties
at once. Is there a resouce kit command line utility that would do this?
I have also tried using folder redirection instead of roaming profiles and
have found them to be very tricky. There are lots of problems unless the
folder permissions are set in a specific way.
Since our class accounts use common read only profiles (so they can't mess
them up) we would prefer to stay with roaming profiles.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
