Hello Lanwench,

Thank you for your prompt.

Yes, I'm wrong. Based on my test, the roaming profile no longer
contain redirected My Documents.

However, in SBS, we usually enable offline folder for the redirected
My Documents. The local offline files may cause this issue.

Sure, they can cause all kinds of problems - but they aren't going to be
related to roaming profiles.

I disable offline files on my shares and/or via group policy.

I suggest we do not enable roaming profile and folder redirection for
same user, and then test this issue.

Or disable offline files, which would better help to isolate the problem.

Sorry for my mistake.

I make them too. :-)


Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Joe and Lanwench for
the input.

According to your description, I understand that you enable roaming
profile and folder redirection for users and the roaming profile do
not appear on some client computers. If I have misunderstood the
problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

For your 2 additional questions, please perform Joe's suggestion.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if
we can resolve this issue:

1. We do not recommend customer to enable roaming profile and folder
redirection for same user.

What does that means?

We know the My Document folder redirection
will be included in roaming profile.

No, folder redirection means that the folder is independent of the
profile, whether roaming or not.

The Roaming profile including
all folders of My Document. If you enable they together on one
user, that will cause many issue.

No, the roaming profile will no longer contain My Documents or any
other redirected folder.

Therefore, I suggest you disable the My
Document folder redirection. Then, test this issue.

2. Since this issue only happen on part of client computers, the
client local existing profile may cause this issue. Please backup
the user profile on the problematic client computer, and then
delete it. Then test this issue.

a. Logon the problematic client computer will local administrator.
b. Right-click My Computer , and then click Properties .
c. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under User Profiles pane,
click the problematic profile, and then click Copy To .

NOTE : The profile usually contains the name of the computer and the
name of the user account.

d. In the Copy profile to box, click Browse , and then browse to
the folder to backup the user profiles.
f. Then, click Delete button to delete the profile.

Then, try to logon the user account on the client computer to test.

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

Hey Joe,

"Manage mmc for the local computer"? I think I know what you're
talking about, and I'll go where I think this is. Computer
management console - Local Users and Groups?

Hey Fred


Firstly, RSOP: Resultant Set Of Policies?

Yes. Sorry.

Best way to run this (maybe with logging to a txt file)?


I have never done that. I just run the rsop.msc from the
%WinDir%\System32 folder and check it in the console.

Secondly, from the W2K SBS server, is it possible to give each
user only regular user rights on the AD login, but have them
automatically assigned local admin privileges on the
workstations? Is this correct? How?


If you join the SBS domain using the browser wizard
(http://servername/connectcomputer), then the user you specify
will automatically have local admin rights. After that, you are
stuck adding and removing domain users to and from the local
Administrators group...something I always manage to forget when a
computer changes hands or needs to be shared.

What we do as a matter of practice is to build a domain security
group and, using the Manage mmc for the local computer, add that
security group to the local Administrators group of the client
computer(s).
That
way as staff turns over, we change the membership in the security
group and don't have to worry about the individual computers.

This works well with XP and newer, but is inconsistent with
Windows 2000 computers.

Joe
