proper method for roaming profileswhat's proper and what's not, who really know... :-) Anywho, I started by sharing things the following way: home directories as \\server\username$ terminal server profiles as \\server\usernamep$ roaming profiles as \\server\usernamerp$ Now my question is... should the roaming profiles and terminal server profiles be merged into one profile or is it best to leave them separate? I'm using Citrix for 1/3 to 1/2 of my users. Also, I'm pretty sure the home directory share is set up right, but for some reason I'm thinking the profile shares should have one main directory shared (profile) and then connect to the directory. Kinda like this: roaming profile as \\server\profiles$\username I may be wrong in both cases, I'm not sure... Can someone 'enlighten' me? Thanks... -- Posted 'as is'.

Mike Brearley The profile folder should never be more than the third-level deep so it
should look like this: Terminal or roaming profile: \\server\profiles$\%username% Note: Terminal and roaming profiles should be kept separate.

Thanks...
The next question would then be for permissions on the folder. Should I add Creator Owner with Full Control, Subfolders and Files Only and set the user as the owner? Or simply add the user's ID with full control? Or both? -- Show quoteHide quotePosted 'as is'.
