If I ever set up another domain with roaming profiles it will not be in a school that insists on being able to flop any peice of software they so wish on.
A school I support has basically three groups, an admin group, student/user group, and teacher/admin group (politics...)
For more than you ever cared to read about, have a peekhere
Basically, I have setup my application data, desktop, and My Documents to redirect invidually through group policy on a 2000 domain. It works quite nice really.
On a side note, if you don't setup a radius server and use wireless, make sure your users synch after login and not before logoff. The link in my experience dies before the synch, so you in essense never synch your data. This would make sense as the wireless link runs through an application/service rather than the actual hardware.
Except... PRINTING! Right now I'm looking for a setting to see if there is a way on the local workstation (XP SP2) to ensure that manually installed local printers stay available while a local domain user logs in. This doesn't seem to be happening at the moment with the student accounts. It could however, be that it takes up to 3 logins for all settings to propogate...
Follow-up... It was the damn permissions as usual. You would think taking a normal domain user and adding them to the local Print Operators group would suffice for printing permissions! Well not with this minolta 2300dl driver anyways (if the driver matters). Nope, it didn't even want power user on the local machine, that wasn't good enough either for my domain users. Only Admin rights... !!!!! Very frustrating to watch some security slip down the drain...
