  1. Ehhh, again, years behind NT. by GlassUser · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I've been doing this for almost two years on NT. Keep a roaming profile on a DFS root. I keep a backend server separate so I always have a replicated backup. It also keeps replicated with other sites (work and the other office). Sigh.
