simple profile sharing anyone?

[JethroUK©]

I have 3 users sharing 2 computers on p2p user group

Is there a simple way to set up a roaming profiles (so each user can log
into either machine)?

Will i have to setup a domain or can i do it with the user group?

I've tried the simplest solution of pointing a user profile to the same user
on the remote machine, but it doesn't like it (preset user profiles seem to
lock everyone else out)

I've tried a remote profile, by pointing the same user from both machines to
the same place - but i got locked out from both sides (as administrator )

In order to use roaming profiles, you'll need to install a server
OS on a machine and create a domain.

You can do this in a workgroup environment. But, you will have to share the
profile folder and adjust the Share and NTFS permissions to allow full
control to the user.
