Morning all.
I just found another one of those WinXP - Win2K differences just recently. Has anyone noticed that you can no longer copy the "Administrator" user profile to the "Default" user profile under the "User Profiles" section anymore?
I would appreciate if anyone could explain to me what Microsoft has done to compensate for this and if there is a workaround or a fix for it.
I'm trying to create a single user profile to exist locally so that when any of my users login to that system they will just get the one default user profile. I can't imagine Microsoft would force you to purchase there Win2K3 Server OS in order to make you pay for a roaming profile. Excellent Microsoft marketing strategy (heavy sarcasm here).
Thanks in advance either way.
