Roaming Profiles on DFS Share - Not loading

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi

We have re-configured our users roaming profiles to look at a DFS share and
they do not appear to be loading, the temporary profile is used.

The problem occurs when the computer is booted and then logged in. If I try
to access the DFS Share once logged in there is no problems.

If i log off (but not shutdown) and then login it loads the roaming profile.

In addition we had re-created logon scripts to copy some files to the
workstation from a DFS Share, these also error and do not copy.

Any advice would be much appreicated.

Thanks
B
