Re: Local permissions for roaming profile to work



Thanks Brandy
That was the question but I now need to ask a follow on question.
I set up the share for the profiles and shared it as "roaming$" and followed
the KB you quoted. The user name folders were created on log on but when I
tried to check on the properties of those folders I got access denied and
could see that the permissions had not been inherited from roaming$ Also the
size of the whol folder was given as zero. Also the profiles were not
preserved on subsequent log on and I wondered if it was due to user rights
on the local PC.
I will check the permissions you listed but could you tell me if the
permissions of each username folder in the roaming profile share should
inherit the share permissions or is there some other way in which those
permissions are set?
Regards
Theo
