Windows XP Roaming Profile problems

Hi all,

I recently upgraded a small office from Office 2000 to Office 2003 Professional, and installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP clients.

I was asked to create roaming profiles for all users, so I:

1) Logged in as Administrator on all machines and copied the profiles to a network share on a Windows Server 2003 machine.

2) Setup a domain and joined all computers to the domain.

3) Configured full control permissions for all appropriate user profile folders, and the files within those folders.

4) Pointed the roaming profiles to the appropriate share locations.

The problem is that when I log on as a user from a client machine, Microsoft Outlook displays the error "Microsoft Office Outlook cannot start", and the Control Panel refuses to switch to Classic display mode so that I can configure mail settings. Also, the entire Office suite has problems with lags and crashes.

The server is top-notch and the network speed is 100 Mbps full-duplex.

I had to switch all users back to local profiles for now because nobody could get any work done.

Has anyone had this problem before? I'm stumped...

Thanks so much!

Ryan
