Roaming Profiles are not copied back to the server when the user loges off.
I have a Windows 2000 server and Window XP clients.
When I create a new user and enter the UNC path (\\server\profiles$\%username%) to where I want to store the profiles a new directory is created.
When this new user loges on to a Windows XP client a new profile is created for this user on the local machine. The profile on the local machine is marked as Roaming (Type= Roaming, Status=Roaming)
When the new user log of form the Windows XP client the user is not copied back to the server, and no error message is displayed, no event log entries appear indicating any problem.
The permission for the folder where the profile is supposed to be stored on the server is:
Administrator - Full Control
"The new User" - Full control, and marked as Owner of the folder
There is no eventlog messages on either the server or the client indicating any problems what so ever.
The new user is member of the Domain Administrator group on the server (domain) and Domain Admins is member of the local administrator group on the client.
If I manually copy the profile form the client to the server and then delete the local copy, the profile is downloaded when the user loges on again, but any changes made are not copied back when the user loges of.
As far as I know I have not made any changes to any group policies, and to be sure I have disabled the policy object for the domain.
I have turned on Auditing for the profile directory and I don't get any "access denied" entries in the log.
How do you go about debugging this further? I have not found any documentation that describe in detail how exactly the process of the client deciding when to write back changes to the server.
This same problem applies to existing users as well as new users.
