Hello everybody, Here is a quick overview of my setup... I have a rack of servers in a datacenter that hosts applications that both our clients and employees access. This is all done with terminal services and the 2X application server. These terminal servers, domain controller, and file server are all part of one domain. Here is what I am doing - I have a new server (Windows 2k3) in the office that is going to host 'internal' applications to our employees. This connects back to the domain in the datacenter with a PPTP VPN. Our employees can access this server via terminal services, and access it's shared files. I want to make their Windows XP Pro desktops part of this domain as well. So I have ordered another server that will be setup as a secondary domain controller which will also be located in the office and connected via VPN back to the datacenter. The users profiles are stored on the domain controller... \\ad1\users\%username% -- The new server will be called ad2 -- Is there any way to mirror the profiles onto the new server (ad2) so there is no need for the users PC to go over the VPN tunnel to get their profiles? Thanks, -Equin

How are you pointing the user profiles to AD1? Sounds like you just need to use something like RoboCopy.exe to get all the actual data synched between the two servers, and then change the pointers from AD1 over to AD2. If that doesn't help, you might try starting a new post and tell us a little bit more about your user profile set up - especially since it doesn't sound like your XP boxes are on any domain (so are these only terminal server profiles you're worried about?)...
