Thanks, JD. I seem to remember that now, but missed it when I reviewed 
the thread this morning.

Looks like 'Cherry' is doing some spammy postings. I hate that type of 
noise. One of the reasons I dislike google groups.

Anyhow, what's your problem with roaming?

I've got redirection working on selected profile folders via 
NTConfig.POL (speeds up logging on/off tremendously), and the profiles 
out from under home, so homes are handled by dfs. All user data 
(including redirections) is now on a 2nd samba file server, except for 
the remaining profile folders. I'm getting permissions error (profile 
ownership) when logging on when I try to use profiles on the 2nd samba 
server.
