Sparky: doesn't really work like that Besides, every company is different, so things written in that doc, may not always be 100% appropriate for another org.

But yeah, some of that stuff that the gent above has been having, could make for one wild night. Mandatory profiles are not-at-all required.

 

You're absolutely right, as I did state in my post if you read it correctly that it's a different issue from the one raised. I don't think there's any need for wanting to sound right all the time.

Nuff said

 

Is there any responsible people left on this forum anymore?. I suppose the reason why I visit less frequent.

My post was referring to my experience on roaming profiles on Wins 2003 svr domain running roaming profiles on a Vista OS. It didn't work with a roaming profile at the time, to be precise two years ago.

 

Don't smoke dude.

 

Onoski, they may have jumped on you a little harshly but that's because what you said made no sense

We accept that roaming profiles can be painful to implement under these circumstances but... that does not mean that mandatory profiles should be used instead. Mandatory profiles are a totally different ballgame

 

Back on topic:

I''m experiencing issue described here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com.../thread/30747cb2-dd7e-4cf1-9cbd-5c534b3bfc28/

with the difference that my permissions are correct and it generally works but only for some users and not for others. I will try to disable "Move the contents of XXXX to new location" in GPO tomorrow and see if it works fine for users. Easier to sync data manually than recreate the profile.

I'm redirecting Desktop, Favourites and Documents only (although for XP the settings for Pictures, Music... is set to follow documents).

I can't understand what the pattern is and why it works for some and not the others.

 

And one of the reasons I visit less frequently is people who clearly don't understand the topic chucking their tuppenorth in. This forum is read by a lot of people (I've lost count of the number of times I've Googled something and a post on here has come up higher in the search rankings than the relevant MS KB or newsgroup postings) and it doesn't look good if someone comes here, reads a couple of posts then gets patently false information.

I don't mean this to sound deliberately harsh, but I do wish people would think before posting 'advice' sometimes - it's all well and good when you post an 'opinion', but posting something that is factually completely inaccurate isn't helpful at all - not just to the OP, but to people following on afterward long after the topic in question has ceased to be the sujet du jour.

 

Zeb, to get the "My Documents" renamed back to the user profile, did you end up deleting the desktop.ini file? it's usually hidden in the user's documents. This was the only way for me to fix this. However every now and then this issue keeps coming back. I've abandoned this for a little bit to get my head straight or else I was going to lose it!

 

Hi Luke, it looks like this is a permission issue and also compare the permissions on group membership of this particular user with a user's account that works correctly.

I have had similar issues in the past with some users network folder redirection and settings not workking properly and usually its a corrupt profile or an incorrect folder rights access permissions.

If all else fails might be time to backup the users data and recreate the network folder etc. Best wishes

 

It's definately not permissions issue. It's working fine and the only part that doesn't work is a feature to move all the contents of redirected folder to network location on first login. Other than that it's all good.
Thanks
