• 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)

  _USER-PROFILES___
  | The user profile path: \\EVANSERVER\Profiles\evan2 |
  | Logon Script Name:                                                         |
  |________________________________________________  |

  _HOME DIRECTORY___
  | ( ) Local Path:                                                                   |
  | (*) Connect [z] to: \\EVANSERVER\Profiles\evan2 |

• 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!

• ActiveSync with the roaming profile

  I can't get Activesync to work with a roaming profile.  It seems he's trying to write a registry key with the synchronization information. If I install from connection to the field he works until I got close the session. So the next time I connect with the same Activesync profile must configure the back and then forgot the synchronization information. If I install it on a local profile with the admin rights it works find each time. But then I log in the field and I have the same problem.  I tried to install it in a different directory, but I have the same problem. It's like he attempts to write a registry key and then when the profile comes down from the server as it gets wiped out, or the registry is unable to write, but never gives an error message.  Whenever I log in, it acts as its new software. Is it possible to correct the problem.

• 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.

• Configuration of Windows Live Mail disappears after a reboot (roaming profile question?)

  I work with a Win7 machine and a user with a roaming profile.

  The user configures Windows Live Mail with account information and is able to send and receive mail, until the computer is restarted successfully. After the reboot, all account information is lost and the e-mail client must be reconfigured.

• 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

• 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?

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site which is for the consumer to related issues.

• Roaming profile issues Windows 7

  Lack of Windows 7, 64-bit systems.  Often we have users whose profiles roaming not loading.  We noticed that in their .v2 folder, there is a lock file.  If a person is not having problems, the locking file disappears when they log off.  However, sometimes the locking file doesn't disappear and does not load their roaming profile.
   
  Is there a registry entry that is not be displayed/hidden or is there a way to draw wrong why the locking file doesn't go away.
