Default profile

[Mark Danner]

I need to change the default user profile on 80 XP machines. I've created
the model profile, but am unsure how to deploy it to the other machines.
Any help would be appreciated.

get the IT group tech to help you...

I'm a department of one. I'm the director, the engineer, and the tech - all
rolled up into one busy person. I was hoping there was a less "manual" way
to copy the default user profile to the workstations.

Oh, well, ...

This is only as manual as you make it. If you log on to
your own PC under a local or domain admin account
then you can use this command from a Command Prompt:

for /F %a in (c:\PCs.txt) do
xcopy "c:\NewDefProfile" \\%a\c$\Documents and Settings\Default User\"

The file c:\PCs.txt must contain a list of every NetBIOS name in your
office.

That looks like a winner - thanks.
