Win2000 Profiles, need to make locals all identical

[Norssak]

Ok, My PDC is still NT 4.0, so roaming profiles don't work for w2k workstations (right?)
I would like all users to use the same settings per machine. Basically the way my W98 workstations behave.

I know how to copy settings to the Default User Profile, but this is merely used as a template for createing new local profiles. I want one directory, one registry for any/all users settings.

Also, if I remove certain drive mappings from a users lgon script, if they log on to a w2k box they still have those drives showing (cached somehow) any ideas on how to disconnect them permanantly/automatically

Thanx in advance

Sorry, not sure off the top of my head how you force the same settings for all users. Since you can maintain the same program shortcuts by simply copying/moving them under \All Users\Start Menu, then perhaps the answer to settings is there as well.

How about putting something like &quot;net use /y * /delete&quot; in their login scripts/startup/shutdown commands? Playing with the net use /persistent command may help avoid drive letter &quot;caching.&quot;
