I have an NT4 environment with mostly w95-98 station I have an NT station and W2K station that I use for administration Profiles are working ok on the two of them We got new w2k stations and I trying to set them for users Profile is set to reside in //server/profile$/%USER_NAME% When I log as XYZ, I get the following message Windows cannot create profile \\server\profile$\xyx.pds. Same if xyz is member of admins What is very curious is this .pds thing after the user name - do you have any idea All replies very welcome Thanks Said Samman [EMAIL PROTECTED] 416.966.4000 http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
