Question:

Answer:

A Roaming Profile allows you to log on to any workstation that is a member of any domain in the Virginia Tech Active directory and receive the same working environment. By using a Roaming Profile, your desktop and My Documents folder will remain consistent regardless of your location, and will be stored centrally on the NAS server. Each time you log on to a workstation in the Virginia Tech Active Directory with your Hokies ID and password, your profile will be downloaded from the NAS server to that machine.

• If you have not set up a NAS space, refer to Creating Your Space on the Virginia Tech Network-Attached Storage (NAS) in Windows 2000/XP, Mac OS X, or Linux (http://www.answers.vt.edu/ask4help/ad_min/vtkb2113.htm).
• If you have already set up a NAS space:
  1. Log on to Hokies Self-Service (http://selfservice.w2k.vt.edu/) with your Hokies ID and password.
  Note: You will experience a brief redirect when you click on the Hokies Self-Service link.
  2. Select the My Storage tab.
  3. In the Modify column, place a check in the Add check box.
  4. Click the Modify Settings button.
  5. Wait at least 15 minutes, and then log off your computer.
  6. Log on to your computer using your Hokies ID and password.
