  1. I've read alot about converting Windows Server 2003 to a workstation, but is there any way to do the oposite. I've not found anything about importing components into XP Pro to convert it into a server. Is this possible?

    This is more just a niggling littel question than anything else, a link to hows it's done, or just a plain and simple, It's impossible will quench my thirst!

    Thanks

  2. Oh, I was under the impression that roaming profiles could infact be hosted, served, by XP Pro mechines. Am i wrong in this assumtion?

    As for permissions, i don't believe i missed anything there. In my test model i have a partition on the mechine set to serve the profile set as shared accross the network, and then all folders under it, (i.e a RoamingProfiles) folder are therfore shared? Is this correct?

    Thanks for your help, if i work out how it's done, or infact just find that you are correct in thinking that only Windows Server editions can host profiles i will report this it back so other do not make my mistake

  3. Roaming Profiles, i just can't seem to get them to work!

    Here's what i'm trying to do.

    I have two computers and four users. Each users needs access to both computers, and their private profiles. Therfore i thought roaming was the best setup! I was going to try to have two users served from one pc, and the other two users profiles served from the second PC. (Both comps will be on permanently)

    My Problem, i can't seem to get an user profiles to work as Roaming one's. I've been useing a tet profile as a configuration dummy. I've followed the Instuctions here and tried the NT instruction here, aswell as the article in the Windows XP Pro Help and Support Centre.

    I always get an error, saying the computer cannot locate the user profile. then an error saying there is no local user profile, and the temporary user profile is created, then deleted upo logoff.

    Any help would bemuch appreciated.
