Hi Phil,
Is your profiles folder set up like this:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/20b15453-f7c9-4cf0-9131-78924af776551033.mspx?mfr=true?
Can you describe exactly what happens when it randomly stops working? What
error messages do you get and what is in the Event Log?
Do you have any Group Policies for roaming profiles?

The Profile may be private but for a majority of users nobody gets
rights to the file when it is created not even the creator, whereas
normally the system has been set up so that the local admin and the
owner is added in with full access rights. Why this stops working
randomaly is the main problem.

Cheers :)

That's by design. The profile is intended to be private.
You can set a Group Policy to add Administrators to the list of
permissions,
but it only applies to new profiles.

Hi Folks,
I am hoping that somebody can help me, we are using roaming profiles
with access rights at the top level of the folder to the user and
administrators, we are finding thou when the users creates the profile
folder for some atrange reason teh rights are not inherited. They are
inherited with the other folders that are created just not with the
profile folder and as you can imagine this is an issue especially as
we have over 4000 users :) any help will be appreciated.
