We accomplished this through a roundabout way. Our sole NT4 TS was
across the wan from our farm and we didn't want the profiles to download
across the T1. We set the "detect slow wan link" setting to either 0 or
1 seconds, and the server couldn't pull the profile down fast enough,
and bypassed it. =20
Another workaround solution is to use a variable in the TS Profile Path
field for each user i.e. %profilepath%\%username%. Set a global
environment variable on each terminal server for profile path as
follows:
NT4 Server - \\server\profiles$\nt4=20
2000 Server - \\server\profiles$\W2K
This allows you to have a different roaming profile for each OS. It is
a little clumsy, but we used it during our migration to 2000, and it
worked well for us.

Jim,

the only way known currently (AFAIK) is to replace the system's GINA -
this is the place where the profile is loaded !!! I don't beleive there
is a magic off button but a replacement GINA can be written easily to
stop the profile being loaded. Depends how desperate the issue is !

Is there a way to set up roaming profiles for explicit users on one

accounts on another server? We have a scenario where we implement our
applications on separate servers from Office on other applications that
require a roaming profile. We would like the ability to use explicit
published applications on our application servers, but not pull the
roaming profile down every time. We've suggested to clients to use
anonymous apps on our application servers, but they don't like not being
able to identify the user logged in via the CMC.
I wish Microsoft would just add this functionality. Let me know if there
is any "script magic" that can do this?

We have both running in our XPe farm. The only problem we have is, some
of the group policies do not apply to NT 4.0 users. Hope this helps Jeff

Subject: [THIN] Mixing OS in XPe Farm
Just curious before I go down this road of mixing OS in the the same XPe
farm. Has anybody mixed NT 4.0 TSE and 2000 in an XPe farm? Are there
any issues to be concerned with? I would assume that the servers could
only have FR1 active but could be on the latest service pack. Is that a
good assumption?
Thanks,
