Ok Thanks i'll try that, what about the second bit? . The problem is I want to setup up roaming profiles so that which ever XP Pro machine I go to the desktop email etc. is the same. I thought that if I create 1 user eg. USER1 on the UNIX/LINUX box all the Profile should be loaded from the Profile directory on the server e.g. (Desktop Icons, Outlook setting etc.?) This does not seem to be the case. At present when I enter the Username and Password into the Windows Client, windows seems to create a Temporay profile on the local machine and create a Deafult profile on the linux machine within the profile directory. Do I need to add the User to local machine using "Users and Groups" in control pannel or should windows just pick up the profile from the server? > The other question I have is how the bloody hell do you setup up client XP > Pro / Windows 2K machine?
