Could not find any event log Errors.
It seems that everything run well.
Does this has anything to do with the group policy? (I have not made
any changes to the group policy object).

Well, this is *done* via group policy.....

Another issue is when I tried to set up the Folder Redirection, the
Folder Redirection doesn't appear inn the USER Settings | Windows
Settings. Am I missing something on this whole roaming anf folder
redirection
issue?

Where are you setting this up? Did you create & link a GPO ...and where?


Thanks.

I completed all the tasks that been suggested, so far that I get is:
in the shared folder (Profiles), I am able to see the user's folder
(test1). However, the desktop changes that I made on the previous
computer does not follow me if I logged on from a different
computer. Please help..Thanks.

Check the workstation event logs for errors.

Hello,
I am trying to setup Roaming Profiles for the Active Directory
users. So far what I have done are:
1. Created Shared Folder with Full Control Permission for
EVERYONE. 2. Created the Active Directory user.
3. Typed in the path to the network folder:
\\server_name\SharedFolder\User_name.

Despite of completing the above steps, I am still unable to have
the user's profiles following the user whenever he logon to the
network using other computer.

Thank you in advance.

Steve Efferin.

Here's my boilerplate -

General tips:

1. Set up a share on the server. For example - d:\profiles, shared
as profiles$ to make it hidden from browsing. Make sure this share
is not set to allow offline files/caching!
2. Make sure the share permissions on profiles$ indicate
everyone=full control. Set the NTFS security to administrators,
system, and users=full control.
3. In the users' ADUC properties, specify
\\server\profiles$\%username% in the profiles field
4. Have each user log into the domain once from their usual
workstation (where their existing profile lives) and log out. The
profile is now roaming.
5. If you want the administrators group to automatically have
permissions to the profiles folders, you'll need to make the
appropriate change in group policy. Look in computer
configuration/administrative templates/system/logon - there's an
option to add administrators group to the roaming profiles
permissions. Notes:

* Make sure users understand that they should never log into
multiple computers at the same time when they have roaming
profiles (unless you make
the profiles mandatory by renaming ntuser.dat to ntuser.man so they
can't change them). Explain that the
last one out
wins, when it comes to uploading the final, changed copy of the
profile. * Keep your profiles TINY. Redirect My Documents
to a subfolder of each user's home directory on the server - either
via group policy (folder redirection) or manually (less advisable).
If you aren't going to also redirect the desktop using policies,
tell people that they are not to store any files on the desktop or
you will beat them with a
stick. Big profile=slow login/logout, and possible profile
corruption. * Note that user profiles are not compatible between
different OS
versions,
even between W2k/XP. Keep all your computers. Keep your
workstations as identical as possible - meaning, OS version is the
same, SP level is the same, app load is (as much as possible) the
same. * Do not let people store any data locally - all data belongs on
the server.
