    Roaming profile
    I was trying to make roaming profile for few users in the same computer. It takes the administrators profile as roaming but not with others. Learning xp at home. When u log on with users id windows says it can't store the users profile as roaming. Have a look . Thanks.

    On the server that is storing the roaming profile, make sure that the SHARE has FULL CONTROL permissions for ALL users. Then go to the FILE/FOLDER permissions and make sure that FULL CONTROL has been assigned to ALL users. The profiles share is one of very few shares in which you want to assign FULL CONTROl permissions to for file level security.

    Also, you may want to create the share as a hidden share. To do so, add a dollar sign at the end of the share name. This way, the share is hidden for browsing.

    The easiest way to assign a profile folder is to open the user account properties and in the User Profile folder entry, type in the share as follows:

    \\server_name\share_name$\%username%

    Replace server_name with your servers name.
    Replace share_name with your share name and if it is hidden, add the dollar sign.
    By typing the variable name for the user, it will replace the user account logon name automatically. %username% is a global variable name for the user logon name.
