administrator/user profiles

[Caron]

NetWare 6 server, new Win XP workstations

I am trying to create a generic profile which I can then
image down (using Symantec Ghost) to the other new
workstations.

Do I log in as administrator, load all the
software/printers etc., then make the administrator
profile a standard/limited user profile?

Or do I log in as a limited user, install the software
then copy the profile? (And, can I even install software
as a limited user?)

Thanks in advance. Caron

Hi,

The following article discusses using a default user profile for all
users. I also included the article that discusses profiles and sysprep.
This should answer your question and resolve your issue.
