No Active directory under XP

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi, I have a new sbs2000 server set up and I use roaming
profiles. I set up my group policy to display the active
directory icon on the desktop. If I log in to a win 2000
client it woyks a treat, if I log in to an XP client it is
on the desktop but does not open up. Anyone got any clues
as to why?
Many thanks Simon

I don't have a definative answer but that's something I wondered about. MS
copied Novell and the AD directory is something I feel is underutilized in
bigger networks....that went away with XP and 2003. I'd like to know why
the sudden reversal as well.

Hmmm... A possible workaround?
