Re: Desktop and Start Menu on roaming profile does not update

I don't believe it can be a permissions problem because my account is
a Domain Admin account and my folder has the same permission setup as
every other folder:

\\Server\Profiles$\JoeSchmoe
Domain Admins, System, JoeSchmoe all Full

\\Server\Profiles$\SallyJones
Domain Admins, System, SallyJones all Full

\\Server\Profiles$\MyUsername
Domain Admins, System, Me all Full

and PROFILES$ has everyone=full for the share permissions?


I can go to the folder from my workstation and delete and add to my
server copy of the profile, and I can do the same locally but the
changes don't propegate for me only. I have even downloaded UPHClean
to see if maybe my profile was still in use at shutdown however this
did not help the problem either. UPHClean says it was successful
every logoff.
No errors in the application or system log either.

I'd try the following tests:

Back up the server copy of the profile by making a copy of it elsewhere
On one computer, log in as another admin acct and delete the cached profile
(or use delprof across the network)
Log in as yourself and let the server copy download
See if you can reproduce the problem

AND


Delete or ename the server copy of the profile
Log into a workstation that has a cached copy of the profile
Let it upload (log in/out/in)
See whether you can reproduce the problem

I use roaming profiles nearly everywhere and don't run into problems with
this. That said, with or without them, I strongly suggest you use folder
redirection for My Docs, Desktop and Application
Data - don't leave those in the profile path. Keep the profiles
miniscule.

I'm not aware of any....

If I add an item to my desktop it adds fine,
but I can never get it to remove unless I go right to the stored
profile on the server.

Is there some way around this other than removing my account from
the Domain Admins because I am constantly doing admin fuctions
throughout the day and want to use my own logon.

Check your event logs for errors. I suspect you've got permissions
problems on the roaming profile folder in question.
