Roaming Profiles

[Guest]

Hi All

A quick question for you:

I have a site with numerous win2000 pcs. All the users have roaming
profiles which work fine. I'm about to upgrade all the pcs and replace
them with new pcs running Windows XP SP2. Do i need to change any
settings to allow the existing roaming profiles to be used on the new
XP machines?

many thanks in advance

You may have problems with W2k profiles being used on XP machines. I've seen
problems with this before, but no real rhyme or reason. Outlook tends to be
especially fussy. Be prepared to do some tweaking.
