Profiles

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

Hello George,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

From your post, you can create a default user profile and store it on the
shared folder of server, and then the Default User profile will be used to
create new Roaming Profiles. You can assign profile paths in Active
Directory users. The following is information on creating Default user
profiles.

Creating a Default User Profile
=====================
Setting up a default profile for new users will work as long as the user
has not already logged into the network and established a profile on the
workstation (local profile) or on the domain (roaming profile).

When a user logs into a system, the SID of the user account is used to load
a user's profile.

For more detailed information about management of user profile in Windows
2000 domain environment, please refer to the following articles:

e/dep05.mspx>

Regarding the question "Also is there a way to configure outlook so the
user doesn't have to enter the exchange information to run." I suggest you
refer to the following articles:

in

Hope the information helps!

Thanks & Regards,

Ken Zhao
