I had a look at this and the basic profile is stored in a bunch of scarily
named but consistent registry keys. It shouldn't be hard to import a .reg
file and replace the couple of values you would need to personalise it for
each user.

I have seen some people do it with clever (ok, awesome) scripting. You can
also use the modprof utility. Jim has it on the thin.net somewhere. I
can't find my link to it.
Check here also for another technique:

Morning all!
Is there a way I can setup outlook (Exchange server name, View style etc.)
automatically when the new user logs in on 2000 or XP.
I am thinking that there must be some way to utilize group policy for this.
Any help?

To help eliminate the island effect, I leave all my DC's, which are also DNS
Servers pointing to other DNS Servers at all times. I found that this will
prevent the island effect.

Nice thing about netdiag is that you can run it with the /fix switch and
often get some good results :)
One thing to remember is the idea of the "island" effect. When first
configuring your DC, be sure the primary DNS server is one of your other
DC's until replication finishes. You also want to be sure that on
promotion, that DCPROMO puts the DNS records in their place, meaning that
DNS allows dynamic updates for that zone and that you have a reverse zone in
place prior (not really necessary, but much neater).

dcdiag and netdiag are giving dns config errors.
I'll be checking thru my dns entries again.

Did you check DCDIAG to see what errors get thrown?

I just added a third DC to my domain. The Sysvol would not replicate to DC3
until after I manually added an A record in the DNS.
In sites and services on DC3, I initiate replication from DC1 and 2 to DC3,
it gives "The following error occured when trying to contact the domain
controller DC3: the RPC server is unavailable." DC3 cannot contact DC3. DC3
dns settings look right to me. All DCs point to DC1 as primary.
Also, in the AD | FRS | Domain Sysvol, DC3 does not appear in the list.
Events:
FRS- 13516,13509,13562,13508
DNS- 6702
What do I need to check next?
thanks.
