Re: Server/Client help - User Profiles

In news:D2211766-D775-4E72-8653-01252D1FF32F@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Julie <julie-anne87@xxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:
Firstly, thank you for responding and helping.

The \\server\userfiles share already appended \%username% to the
location of the redirected folders, that's why I omitted that little
detail.
I setup an OU called New Users with a linked GPO "New Users GPO" in
GPMC (I also blocked its inheritance so that the Default Domain
Policy would not affect it). I then created a new user, "user2" in
the New Users directory under the Active Directory Users and
Computers MMC. user2 is a member of the Domain Users group. I tried
to run a GP Result Wizard on user2, however, two problems occurred:
1. I could not choose the client PC as the Computer Selection, it
returned an error with details: "The requested name is valid, but no
data of the requested type was found". So instead, I used "This
Computer" (the server). 2. The user2 user did not show up (Administrator
was listed). So I
added the user2 user to the Administrators group (so I could log onto
the server machine since the domain users group did not give the
correct permissions to log on). Logged back into Administrator after
I had logged on as user2 (creating its profile).

I ran the wizard using "This Computer" and user2. The settings tab
showed my changes to the GPO (folder redirection). The summary tab
showed 3 Computer Configuration Applied GPOs: Local Group, Default
Domain, Default Domain Controllers Policies. The User Configuration
Applied GPOs were: New Users GPO (the GPO I created).

After logging onto the server, as I had thought, the redirected
folders had appeared. So I continued to log onto the client machine
using user2. The folders were again, NOT, redirected.

I ran gpresult as you suggested on the client, and received the one
lined message "INFO: The policy object does not exist."

I then ran gpupdate /force on the client, like MyWeb suggested, no
effect.
As asked, I have provided ipconifg results for the server and client
below. Thank you again for your help.

Julie,

Please keep in mind with one basic thing about the Default Domain POlicy:
NEVER Never block the default domain policy. Period.

Ok, why do the ipconfig /all of both machines do not show a DNS address??
Did you edited them out? Was anything else edited out?

I assume no default gateway since you are testing this internally in a
virtual machine (using VMware) environment without internet access. Do the
VMs have communication betweeen the server and the client? Can you ping the
server by FQDN (server.testserver.test) ?

What errors are in the client and DC's event logs?
