How to make a mandatory profile for Windows Vista machines
I got some Windows Vista PC's a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to figure out how to make a mandatory profile on Vista PC's. The old ones don't work since Vista's file structure is different than XP. I couldn't find a ntuser.dat file in the local profile.
All my DC's are Windows Server 2003, any help would be appreciated. I have searched google for some answers but have not had much luck.

Heck, I just wont put a Vista machine on any of the domains I run. From what I have found they just don't play nicely with others .... kind of like a spoiled kid

Yeah I know what you mean. Vista really hates programs not designed for it. Can't use Nero Version 6 on it but managed to get a few programs we use to work by using compatability mode. I don't plan on upgrading all our Servers to Windows Server 2008 just so I can use Vista in a domain. I guess nobody has tried making a mandatory profile for Vista in Windows Server 2003. -

Hey cool, thanks TBLTZ I'll check that out. I could have sworn that I looked in that folder for the ntuser.dat file but I may have missed it.

you can just visit Microsofts website and search for Managing Roaming User Data Deployment Guide. It was horrible trying to do this especially since i didnt have sufficient admin privileges or any previous knowledge.
