We have a w2k3 sp2 server and lots of xp sp2 pc's. Most of our users have
roaming profiles. We have now added a couple of vista machines for testing
and wondered if there was a way of setting up a user account to use the
alternative roaming profile for vista when the user uses this machine.

Thanks

Glenn

Glenn,
You need to Redirect folders out of the profile so they can be used in Vista
and pre-Vista logons. The profiles themselves are not compatible,

Profiles aren't compatible between OS versions (this was true for XP & 2k,
too, as well as Terminal Services)....so don't let users roam on computers
running OSes that don't match their profiles. It's really best to have
identical (or close to!) computers on a network if you're going to use
roaming profiles.
