Roaming profile issues Windows 7

• Roaming profiles, Outlook, Windows 7, Server R2 2012 2016

  I am building a new network with server 2012, Windows 7 Pro clients running Office 2016.

  I have configured roaming profiles on the server and testing now with limited success.

  I started by dropping a small test file to the desktop, disconnected, connected to another machine, and here are the file. Great!

  I make a change to the file, log out and then log a new machine (where the test user is not connected previously on) and the file is there, Great!

  If I disconnect and reconnect the first machine, the file is still there but it does not show the changes I've done more recently, is not so great.

  The second part of the problem is that Outlook profiles seem NOT work completely.

  Following the suggestion by another post, I removed and reinstalled Office on a single machine, created an Outlook profile then disconnected.

  then turn it on again for another machine, everything seemed fine. I have created a signature on the second machine, disconnected, then back to the first. No signature :-(

  It seems to be is not quite compatible.

  Can someone tell me the areas that I should look at?

• Persona with roaming profiles manager

  Hello people, hope you can help me out here!

  NOTE: I've updated this issue.

  The original question is far greater.

  We want to use character whose profiles management; the profile path is set in the attribute of "profile path" users AD.

  Set us up, as defined by Microsoft: How to configure a user account to use a user profile roaming in Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows n...

  In particular, note the comment on this link:

  Use the following format for the path of the user profile:

  \\server_name\shared_folder_name\user_profile_folder_name

  For example, if you want to store the roaming user profile in a folder with the same name as the user account in a shared folder named "Profiles" on a server named "Server1", type the following path:

  \\Server1\Profiles\%username%

  However, when you use management persona (assuming that it is configured correctly), we get errors in the log of the PM:

  [0] [23/10/2013 11:23:56:0116] [RTOVPHelper! RTOTestConnection] Impossible to obtain the attributes of the profile distance: \\ourdomain.com\userpathlocation\Profile\%username%. V2, 0 x 80070002

  A test, if I change the attribute of "profile path" roaming profile of \\Server1\Profiles\%username% to \\Server1\Profiles\realusername then persona Manager no longer has a problem.

  It seems that it cannot interpret the %username% variable.

  Is this correct? Am I missing something? Anyone can shed some light on this situation?

  Thank you.

  ORIGINAL QUESTION BELOW:

  Users can use many devices and can use a physical device or virtual in any place - they are not related to an office.

  Traditionally, we use roaming profiles in our physical environment. It works well - their profile goes with them (we have some parameters of redirection).

  When the user connects to the virtual, Persona Manager is not happy. It is said: "management of Persona is disconnected - please contact the administrator '

  Check the log of the PM, the only things that stand out are:

  As we use roaming profiles, the profile path, \\ourdomain.com\userpathlocation\Profile\%username%. V2, stands in the AD user object. (NOTE: it's actually \\ourdomain.com\userpathlocation\Profile\%username% so the.) V2 is added by PM/Win7).

  If I am not mistaken, 0 x 80070002 corresponds to error 2, be "the system cannot find the specified file", but there isn't. If I come home \\ourdomain.com\userpathlocation\Profile\%username%. V2 in Solution Explorer, it seems.

  It almost seems that it does not expand the environment variable %username%.

  PM group strategies are implemented in the virtual environment:

  Manage the user persona: ENABLED

  The Persona repository location: ENABLED > > > share path: VACUUM > > > the user profile path override Active Directory if configured: ENABLED

  Log file name: ENABLED > > > Local log file path: WHITE

  Repository of roaming profile is established in accordance with this article:

  VMware KB: Management of Persona does not when it is configured according to the directives of the Management Guide of view 5.0

  Someone at - it ideas? I thought that the problem is the %username% in the roaming profile path, but this should be good, it should not?

  Please let me know if you need more information.

  Hello

  I forgot to update this.

  > Support connected with VMware.

  > They have confirmed the problem.

  > Question is a candidate for the next generation of Agent (no confirmed release date).

  In the meantime, we will have to use roaming profiles in Windows, there is no workaround for the Persona Manager solution until it is resolved.

  I don't know if the variable userdomain % is resolved for you. I hope that the difficulty they have presented with determination all the variables, rather than just the %username% variable (I reported and confirmed they had the problem). I would say that you talk about VMware to confirm that all the variables will be resolved by the Persona Manager.

• No roaming profile tile problem windows 8 no clear pattern of how and why.

  Hi I have a fairly extensive network of windows pc 8

  I noticed a strange problem which does not seem to follow any particular model.
  When a new roaming user connects to a windows pc, 8 who was not already a profile they receive the message 'Hi' and the implementation of the etc pages once they see the new tiles page which is fine.
  However sometimes a new user will register in the "Hi" is displayed and set up takes a lot of time and when it finishes the new user has only 2 tiles... Internet explore and tile office!  If the user logs on to another computer, they may or may not have the tiles appear... This suggests that it is a local problem in the users on the c: folder.
  As I said this happens randomly with new users and this is quite annoying because it doesn't seem to be any idea why it does.
  Is this a bug?

  I found a way to fix it.

  1 log in as a user to discover that no tiles are present
  2. close the session
  3 log in as administrator
  4 open System
  5. open user profiles
  6 remove the user profile
  7. close the session
  8 open troubled as a user session
  9. the tiles are back!

  10. close the session

  11. open a session as administrator of PC

  12. open CMD as administrator

  10. run sfc/scannow from the command prompt and set the PC settings store tiles.

  The problem was when I used a 3rd third party tool called delprof2... I guess that the profiles were not removed correctly. Infact delprof2 corrupts the tiles from the local profile. This causes problems with the tiles does not not like laptop settings and store.

  You may ask why use delprof2? Well well the reason why I used delprof2 is that there are in the region of 100 profiles to delete and just, that takes too much time on each PC using the system / profile section... I don't know any alternative.

  So for correct (after execution of delprof2), it appears that you must first connect and see missing tiles then disconnect you and go as an administrator and delete the profile via the option of system profiles and then open a session as a troubled user...

  I really want to do underground work for us, because I can see the benefits of a beautiful beautiful screen with all work related icons at a push of a button, but the amount of problems, I hit when an area is absolutely crazy... makes me want to go back to the Start button...  At least with the Start button, you can easily add shortcuts... Unlike the subway tiles it is almost impossible to customize metro layouts over a wide area without tools such as oblytile...
  My conclusion is that it seems metro tiles are related to the local profile on the c: drive of each individual computer which is a little annoying when you have to hundreds of computers. It would be nice if metro settings have been configured on users roaming profile on the server.

  I'm getting the impression that Windows 8 was never designed for a corporate network * DUHH * and the metro is simply to home computers / tablets / mobile phone (consumers).

  Which is a shame.

  But I'm not giving up on hope...!

• Correct configuration of roaming profiles on a WIN NT Server?

  I'm trying to implement roaming profiles with a Windows NT 4.0 Server and a computer Win XP Pro. I created the account via the 'Users for domains Manager' tool, created a share named "Profiles" to the root of the c: / drive and has joint the XP computer to the domain. When I try to open a session, he said that the administrator group or the current user must have ownership of the folder, and that he "cannot find the local profile." I have granted 'Full control' to all groups, including administrators. I am able to log in with the account, but the changes are not saved when that I disconnect. It created a folder with the user name in the sharing, I put in place, but the error persists even when I delete the folder and start from scratch. The server is named "EVANSERVER" and has a local IP address of 10.0.1.37. The XP computer is named 'EVANSERVERWKSTN' and has an IP address of 10.0.1.38. Here are the current configuration of the user file directory and Home:

  USER: evan2 (evan2)

• Home Premium and roaming profiles with WHS

  Hello ChiefTom,

  I'm sorry for the delay in answering your question.

  You are right. I read the wrong question and thought you want to store your roaming profile on the Windows Home Server. I apologize for the misinterpretation.

  However, to answer your question. On a stand-alone computer, be it a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can have a local profile.
  You must have a network server. She is also grayed out on my local computer, this option is not available.

  A profile stored locally is one that is only accessible from the local computer. A roaming profile is stored on a network server and can be accessed from any computer to which a user connects.

  Here's a thread on the Windows Home Server forum dealing with roaming profiles. Roaming profiles are not available in the Windows Home Server. I believe that the development team focuses on this feature. They give a kludgey solution that can help you.

• A problem with the Redirection of folders and roaming profiles - Adobe Flash file

  This thread is in relation to a thread started for the Google Chrome browser.  Admins also suggested I have create a post here.  The link to the bug can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=97512

  This is the first post on the forums of Chrome:

  Here students use Windows 7 with redirection folders and roaming profiles.

  When in Chrome (any version) and they try to attach a file to an e-mail or upload a file to a site, a 'Find a file' window appears.  When they try to locate the file on their desktop or document file, Chrome hangs for a minute then prompt a user to enter their credentials. Even with the correct credentials prompt says access denied.

  If a local user without a roaming profile or the folder redirection tries the same thing that everything works as should.

  This problem does not occur in Internet Explorer (all versions) or Firefox (all versions)

  The "Search a file" window that appears resembles that of Windows XP, not the other from Vista or Windows 7.

  I also believe that I have posted here before on this topic, but can't seem to find the problem.

  Basically, right now I tell students not to use Chrome to download or attach data.

  I also confirmed AppData folder redirection to be a default/limitation in Flash Player 11 plugin... but only for Google Chrome built-in version of Flash Player 11 (usually located in the Chrome installation folder).  The version of Adobe (usually located in the Adobe installation folder) do not have this problem for me.

  Fortunately, Chrome allows you to install the version of Adobe if you want. I have disabled the plugin provided with Google Chrome and Google Chrome Frame, and my users were able again to use my Flash application:

  1. Google Chrome: type chrome://plugins/ in the URL
     Google Chrome Frame for IE: enter gcf: topic: plugins in the URL
  2. Click "Détails" to expand the list of plugin
  3. Scroll down to Flash
  4. If you have only one version and it is located somewhere in a folder of Chrome, then disable it, close your browser, reopen it, visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and install the version of Adobe.
  5. If you have several versions, disable the version in the Chrome folder and try to use your Flash application again.

  It worked for me; your mileage may vary...

• Efforts to control the size of the roaming profile Cache does not properly.

  We run a RDSH R2 2008 environment and we have set the maximum size of the Cache size to roaming profile for 26 GBS, but our roaming profile cache is never fall below designated size limit.

  We see evidence that lsasrv with actually deletes profiles that he scored as older and it will work four to five times, but the documentation suggests that it will continue to operate until the volume is less than the specified cache size, and our does not do that.

  We do not see anything to fix or adjust and find having to police manually servers to keep enough free space to accept connections.  If we don't keep our guard, users get connected with a local profile and the REO event will show that profile has not been charged because of insufficient disk space.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated, as we struggle with this one problem in a deployment by also wonderful to RDSH.

• Server 2008, XP roaming profiles and "cannot create a file when that file already exists"...

  Hi all

  I'm working on a Server 2008 domain with XP SP3 clients.  The question is: create a new user, their profile is \\server\profiles\%username% [where %nom user % is their new username!].  Security on the profile folder is set so that the administrators have full access and the user has read & execute, list folder content, read and write access.

  The user is able to login ok there is no problem with roaming profiles [otherwise, they would get a message on with a temporary profile loading] which suggests, but when they disconnect they get a message saying that some files could not be created [it varies], followed by "cannot create a file when that file already exists".

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• It is a group policy setting that allows Silverlight store data for a roaming profile user limited account?

  We have customers that use our Silverlight application. Application off because errors that the software is not able to store data about user roaming profile folder. So far, developers have a setting which allows the application to be listened to, but that makes it real slow. We try to get out of that. So my question is there a group policy setting they are system administrator can setup to allow Silverlight to store data for a roaming profile user limited account? Maybe allow data to be written locally only to the specific folder that requires Silverlight?

  Thank you!

• index.dat locked by winlogon.exe preventing roaming profiles to be completely unloaded on client PCs

  Greetings,

  I posted this thread in the server instances earlier because it's over my whole environment that this occurs, but since someone there told me to post it here, here goes:

  We have a problem with the index.dat (*) of locked files by the winlogon.exe process preventing the profiles on the computer to be completely empty when you connect to the wide. Most of the time, after that the user is disconnected, we cannot not even manually delete this file until a few minutes after the disconnection. For example, a script to automatically delete these files during log off is unfortunately useless.

  I searched on the internet and saw a lot of people with this or similar problems, but either there was no response or did not have solutions for our environment.

  The problem occurs on all the BONES in our environment (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7) and all versions of IE (IE 6, IE 7 and IE 8).

  We tried the following:

  -Create a profile completely (and of course delete all the computer itself)
  -Disable the anti-virus
  -Using the latest version of UPHClean
  -Specifically exclude folders from roaming profiles (even though they are by default excluded)

  index.dat (*) is located in the following folders:
  -%USERPROFILE%\Cookies
  -%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\
  -%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\

  Kind regards

• Records of 'must have' of roaming profiles

  Hello

  We are currently setting up profiles for our mobile sales. The main problem is that the roaming profiles Dungeon above the profile storage space. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which are the files 'must have' that should be included in a roaming profile? For example do we really need to include all the files in the Application data and local settings? (The "My Documents" FYI have already been excluded because they are redirected to another server). Any help or links that will direct me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

  Paula

  Local settings is not normally included in the roaming profiles. It contains the folders temp and Outlook mailstore, which tends to make it big.

  Application data tend to contain settings for specific programs, so you should evaluate on the basis of what is used on your site. However, it excludes in its entirety could lead to problems in some cases.

  Another one, I'd say WinDirStat as a useful tool to find the space where goes.

  http://WinDirStat.info/

  What is the roaming profile, I find that many customers seem to think they should automatically "have their own files" no matter where they log - on, but at the same time don't need exercise no clean what they store and where. I say while it's functionally a case to expect to have your bread buttered on both sides and get to eat! In practice some policy decisions to do in regard to if the roaming profile path is applicable to your site and if so how much users is likely to comply with its constraints. If they can not do it then I suggest that this is not a good path to follow, especially since the oversized profiles will lead to very slow logons.

  Also, keep in mind that you're in headaches for real, if you want to introduce Windows 7 computers - profiles are not compatible, and what is happening here is that the roaming user develops a split personality.

• Group Policy scripts to connect to users in the domain without roaming profiles

  Hi all

  I am the network administrator in a school, and I have a problem with the configuration scripts to the default printer for our students.

  I created a Powershell script that configures the printer default, based on the ORGANIZATIONAL unit of the computer on which the user connects from.

  When a domain user without a roaming profile on a BBS post specific work for the first time, the script does not seem to set the default printer.

  HOWEVER, the script works fine if:

  (a) the user has a roaming (no longer) profile; or

  (b) the user is logged on this before given workstation.

  From what I see in procmon, Powershell actually runs when a user logs on to a workstation, for the first time, but the printer mapping is not changed.

  Is it because the user has a local profile to each new PC they connect and that the profile is not created at a point where the default printer can be defined?

  Can you see a way to work around that rather than make roaming profiles or get the user to sign out and then sign back?

  Thank you

  Peter
