After you install xp sp2 and you reboot it.
You have to enter an administrative account after you reboot with xp
sp2.

Set your polices their. Then reboot and then try limited user. I
could be wrong. I thought you might try this.

Brian,

Here are something’s you could try. None of this may work.

Since you computer are possible networked together
Try this (sorry about the caps-pasted from cmd prompt window)

NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
        [/USER:[domainname\]username]
        [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
        [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
        [/SMARTCARD]
        [/SAVECRED]
        [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

I would try Net use /Persistent:Yes
Before I installed xp sp2 on other computers

This is also a possibility.

After you install xp sp2 and you reboot it.
You have to enter an administrative account after you reboot with xp
sp2. Set your polices their. Then reboot and then try limited user.
