Roaming Profiles

[CanAm-TT]

I have a bit of a dilema!

I am trying to set up a user with a roaming profile. I have created a path to the server where their profile sits. I have made sure the permissions are such that that user has full control over that folder.

When the user goes to log in no roaming profile. :(

So i went to the user profile under system and checked to see if it is looking for a local or a roaming profile and it is set to local. Unfortunately the roaming option is greyed out.


HELP!

What OS is the server/client using?.

Have you made sure there is a profile entry in the users AD account?.

We are running Windows XP machines on a Win 2000 server.

I have been into AD and to the users profile and set the path to their roaming profile

I think AD will set the folder permissions and maybe also create the actual folder for you when you define the roaming profile path. Migth be worth knobbling the existing folder and trying to get it to create its own.

I presume you know what an absolute pain in the arse roaming profiles are already?

Is there anything in the event log on the client?

Does the login proceeed at normal speed, or is it slow?

Ive tried renaming the orginal profile on the server and then creating a new one. All of the permissions are great, infact I set the permissions to everyone!

Still didnt work.

Is the folder you created the roaming profile shared?

Are the permissions set at both the share and the file level?

Thats all I can think of at the moment...
