RE: Roaming profiles - not initialising

Hi Terence

Thanks you very much for taking the time to reply.

Apologies for not replying earlier but my wife has been in and out of
hospital over the last few weeks, so not had much time.

Now that things are back to normal I will try the suggestions you have listed
and keep you advised.

Again thanks for your time

Regards

Ray

Hello Ray,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that user account can not user
roaming profile when they logon to they own computer. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, when a user with a roaming profile logs on to a
computer running Windows, the system checks whether the cached locally
profile is more recent than the roaming profile. In that case, the system
doesn't need to reload the profile from the central server. This check is
based only on the "last write time" of the user's registry hive Ntuser.dat.

So the user will logon local profile instead of roaming profile. I suggest
we try the following steps to see if we can resolve this issue:

1. Please try to backup the local profile for the domain user:

Roaming Profile Creation in Windows Using the "Copy To" Command
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=243420

2. Then delete the local profile:

a. Log on this client with local administrator.

b. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
double-click System.

c. On the User Profiles tab, click the local profile for the domain user,
and then click Delete.

d. Restart the client and logon the domain user to test.

If we can not resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
kindly help me collect some information for further investigation:

Use the Networking MPS report to capture the client computer networking
configurations for further analysis:

a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE

b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe on the server box.

c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.

d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\

e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

|
| I cannot seem o find out what is happening.
|
| I do not think it is the server as it a new user works fine – it seems

|
| Any help would be appreciated.
|
| BTW – I do not get any errors at all – I have even tried under
