[OPLINTECH] Roaming Profiles

[Nick Kelley]

Hi Tim,

I use roaming profiles and there are lots of problems but my staff is used
to it so I don't want to take it away.

There could be a number of reasons for that. Is the error message something
like "You've been signed into a temporary profile?"

It could be network related. Are you in the correct domain or vlan?

It could be something with the profile. Is it a new profile? Maybe try to
delete are start over again?

Sometimes software is the problem. I had a problem with an old version of
CASSIE that wouldn't let me load profiles properly.

I have also had issues with the registry making my profile a .bak instead
of a usable profile. Here's an article about it:

Even viruses in the profile will stop it from loading properly.

Sometimes even logging in as a local admin will allow you to delete the
temporary locally created user folder and that may solve the issue.

Sometimes there are funny problems with GPO that may cause issues. Try
looking at the Events if it will let you load a temporary profile. I would
start here if you can.

Nick
