I am using W2k Servers with XP Pro Workstations. We are having problems copying roaming profiles. Under NT you could login as your build user then logout and login as an admin and copy the profile to a network share. Then you point the user profile to that share folder.

When I do this under XP I lose the quick Launch toolbar and the desktop bitmap, everything else "seems" intact.

I have built the Ideal User settings under a Build login, I then save that whole user profile to default and it works fine for local users, they get all the shortcuts on the quick lauch toolbar, desktop image, etc.

Now I want to do the same for my LAN users with Roaming profiles. SO I log in as an admin that has rights to copy all of the profiles. I then copy the profile in the normal way to a network share that is for roaming profiles and give permissions to the user I am copying to.

When I login as that user, all seems to have copied but there are no quick launch shortcuts on the toolbar. The desktop image also goes.

Any ideas would be appreciated
