> I use SBS 2003 and this is done automatically if the computer is a member of the domain. Unfortunately, i don't have sbs 2003. in win xp pro, unless you create a user (local profile) and set it for the domain, you will be able to login with your domain login/password as a guest only! so, you have to create a user with privileges in order to create your profile folders (in documents and settings)... to be more clear, i would like to the same thing as: (join the domain) control panel/user acccounts/add user choose name and domain, choose privileges click finish because if iuse a command "net user" i can create a user, who won't log into domain, but into local computer. and i think it's impossible to change it. hopefully, there is a way of creating a new user, who will log into a domain from the beginning....
