Part A: Updating Users Default User Profiles created by Windows XP Professional.

1.     Create a new Default Profile (ntuser.dat) by repeating the steps required to create a default roaming profile for Windows XP Professional with any new configuration information you want for all users.

Important:  NTUSER.DAT file permissions and Windows XP Pro.

The Roaming profile (ntuser.dat) copied from an XP Pro client has a hidden attribute on the profile file  ntuser.dat which must be removed for Version 2.10 of MysaNiTY.

***Note: This has been fixed in Version 2.11 of MysaNiTy. Goto Step 2.

Goto the Server: Start->Run-> Explorer  goto drive:\mysanity\aeprofile\profile.man folder.

NOTE: The ntuser.dat file  from an XP Pro client normally hidden attribute on the file, to view this file in Explorer…

MysaNiTy will now be able to find this file in this folder and copy it to new accounts and the Update Profiles Button under MysaNiTY account management will be able to copy this file to all current users home folders.

This MUST be repeated each time a new profile is copied back from an XP Pro client to the profile.man folder.

2.    Launch MysaNiTy . Select  Account Management -> User Profiles

3.    If you wish to give all users a new Default Roaming Profile  (ntuser.dat)

Click Update.  (note: any changes users had made to tool bars, etc, within certain programs will be lost and replaced with the default profiles settings.)

ALL MysaNiTy user accounts will get a new copy of the ntuser.dat file located in

c:\mysaNiTy\userfiles . See Section: Configuring the Default Roaming Profile for all MysaNiTy User Accounts.)

The Roaming profile (ntuser.dat) copied from an XP Pro client has a hidden attribute on the profile file  ntuser.dat which must be removed for Version of 2.10 of MysaNiTY.

This has been fixed in MysaNiTy Version 2.11

Goto the Server: Start->Run-> Explorer  goto drive:\mysanity\aeprofile\profile.man folder.

NOTE: The ntuser.dat file  from an XP Pro client normally hidden attribute on the file, to view this file in Explorer…

MysaNiTy will now be able to find this file in this folder and copy it to new accounts and the Update Profiles Button under MysaNiTY account management will be able to copy this file to all current users home folders.
