sorry for the off topic, but I am thinking some clever samba sole has tinkered with this!! I am trying to find a method to migrate local user profiles off one server, onto another server. Both are win2k machines. Is there a way using roaming profiles to pull it off the live server, onto the network via samba, and then pull it up to the secondary server?? any thoughts would be appreciated! thanks - -- ---------------------------------- please respond to the list .. if you need to contact me direct cgmckeever is the account prupref.com is the domain <A href="http://www.prupref.com">Simply Chicago Real Estate</A>
