User profiles
Does anyone know how many user profiles Windows XP can handle? I have a lab with 65 computers, and each computer must have it own unique login. The computers are joined to my domain, and the user accounts are domain users. I can setup a lot of things like desktop wall paper, and screen saver using a group policy. The problems is I have a few applications that require special settings and it must be set in each profile. I use Ghost to image the lab, and would like to setup all the user accounts on the master ghost image. That way when I image the lab I don't have to apply the settings on the applications for each computer. Is this ok? Any other suggestions? Thanks.1 person needs an answerI do too

The official MS way is to use sysprep, but in XP it can more easily be done by creating a new generic user, setting it up exactly the way you want, and then copying that user to the Default User profile. Then use that computer as your master for the image.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
