Jan is correct that is a problem...the other issue is it is only about 15
users out of 1200 that are connecting to the 2000 servers the rest do not
even have access to the apps on it and run on NT 4. I don't want to start
messing with profiles on a global level. There has got to be an easier way.
Has anyone come up with an easy way to change the path of profiles on a 2000
server to use Winnt/Profiles instead of documents and settings? This would
probably resolve everything if I could just do that.

That's true. A decision would have to made as to what apps would be
grouped to a specific OS. But I think the original question was
concerning different apps on different OS's and the profile was causing
issues while using NFuse.

I see a small flaw in this plan. Lets say I am logged onto a W2K server
and make an outlook change and then log out. Then I log back in and am
now on an NT server. My profile from the NT server profile store will
not reflect the outlook change.
Am I looking at this incorrectly?
