On the Server goto Àctive Directory Users and Computers in administrative tools,
Double click on the user that you want to give a roaming profile.

Click on "Profile" and in the "Profile path" put
//servername/users/username/profile/

Or

//servername/username/profile/

In my case it's
//terra01/users/mark/profile/

The key information is about half way down in the section titled "Configure profile information for each romain user."

I think this should give you all the information you need. If not, let me know.

Spin36, i've got another question:

quote: "By default, Windows 2000 stores user profiles in the \Documents and Settings directory on the local drive, but redirecting the profile to a shared network drive enables the user to access it from any workstation on the network. This is called a roaming profile."

Who should i give permissionm to view this shared mapwork drive/folder ?? If i only give permission to that specific user account, then i get an error while logging in...(...can't access profile...permission denied).
Ofcourse i don't want everyone to be able to see this persons roaming profile...
