Home Articles Utilities Software Electronic Book |  | Roaming Profiles on Multiple Operating Systems Users with roaming user profiles can log on interchangeably to computers running Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. Both operating systems can read the same user profile and do not prevent users from logging on from either operating system. The locations of the local caches for the two operating systems should not be an issue for roaming profiles. Also, if you plan on upgrading your Windows NT 4.0 machines to Windows 2000, as opposed to doing a clean install, then the new boxes will use the %systemroot%\Profiles location as the local cache just like under Windows NT 4.0. The Documents and Settings folder is only used after a clean install.
