How to setup roaming profiles

I am having several issues with roaming profiles (SBS 2003 server and XP workstations) I have tried testingI with my own notebook but cannot get that to work either.

Is there a standard procedure to setup roaming profiles ?

I initiallly used the add computer wizard on the server but the \\servername\connectcomputer wizard doesn't work so I just joined the domain through the network connections in the control panel.

Normally I would suggest a Microsoft link but you should have look at these products as they have helped me with profiles.

if you want to make profiles en replicate them to other servers make a direcetory profiles under C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\vnz203.be\scripts so C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\vnz203.be\scripts\profiles share it as profiles give full controll to domain users
in domain users and computers take user clic properties under profile profile path fill in %logonserver%\profiles\%username%
set in policies a limit to the size of the profile
and you have roaming profiles

Thanks all. My next job after getting these profiles working was to address the "my docs" redirection so I will try to get the connectcomputer working. I have a question open on that and will try your suggestions tomorrow.
