user profiles

[shabbs]

As a laptop user I require two user profiles - one for when I connect to the LAN when in the office and a second profile when I dial in to the LAN from outside. The problem I am having is my logon script is running when I dial in to the office LAN and this takes upto 30 mins to map my drives (not all of which I need as I am only accessing my emails).
To resolve this problem I assume that I need a second user profile that will run a smaller logon scipt that allows me to access only my email.
Is this correct and if so, how do I create a second profile?

Please advise

Are we talking about a domain here? If so, you'll need to get whoever administers the domain to set you up a second domain user id with the smaller logon scripts associated.

One thing you could do to save the admin time and more importantly your time you should request an upgrade to 2000 professional. You won't need to go thru the hassle of multiple profiles and the admin should make you a personal login script that you can execute if you need to when you're away. Third...a way i circumnavigated a problem with RAS latency was making a conduit in the router and firewall and giving that remote laptop/workstation a static IP etc, i won't get into it but if he knows firewalls and routers see if he catches my drift...


...the higher the fewer

Hunh. Nice one, HR-LII.

Can you easliy also set policy so the OP address cannot get in except at certain days/hours and call off-policy logins an exception event??
