Roaming User Profiles - Domain Server Setup

[Guest]

Hello:

I have a small office environment with five new Vista Ultimate computers and
a Netgear NAS. Sometimes it is necessary for somebody to log into a
different computer and they would like their desktop, favorites, cookies,
documents folders, etc. to be available to them. My understanding is the
best way to do this is with a Roaming User Profile. But to use the Roaming
User Profile, I need to operate in a Domain and therefore need a Domain
Server. Is there a simple way to set this up without investing in Windows
Server? I know I can get part of the way there using folder redirect, but
would like to have all the benifits of a Roaming User Profile.

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

Hello,

as far as I'm informed correctly, a domain is the requirement for a
domain-wide logon -> Roaming profile, so you would need a Windows server.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
