[OPLINTECH] Vista roaming profiles

[Dan Will]

Hi all,

   I've got a problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with. During the
last week of December I had a Win2k3 RC2 primary domain controller fail
(hardware). Because I could not "gracefully" demote it, I seized all of the
domain functions to the backup and built a replacement BDC. That was a real
headache but, got through it. I now have another problem. I had roaming
profiles setup for our staff, so they could get their e-mail, bookmarks,
etc. I am having an "access denied" error now when a user logs on as
themselves. I understand from the KB articles that the profiles folder on
the server share (\\server\profiles <file:///\\server\profiles> ) requires
creator owner to have full control on subfolder and files only and the
user's group to have list folder /read data, create folders /append data
this folder only. The actual users profile folder (user.v2) has system full
control & %username% full control & owner of folder. The administrator has
NO permissions. Here in lies my problem. How do I copy their profile data to
a folder that can have no access permissions for the administrator. I have
created the profiles folder and copied all of the data to it then tried
resetting all of the permissions as directed. I STILL get the access denied
error when logging on as the user. 

  If there is a Do "this" then Do "this" then Do "that" type of document on
the web about fixing this problem, I haven't found it. Has anyone had any
experience with this or a resource I can go to that describes the procedure
to fix it?

 

TIA
