Re: Cannot get profile redirection to work

Vera,

If I use \\ts01\tsprofiles\%username% in the users' properties inside of AD
Users and Computers, when the users log into the TS, their profiles get
redirected.

If I add the \\ts01\tsprofiles to the "Set path for TS Roaming Profiles" in
the GPO, the profiles are NOT redirected. All other GPO settings are
applied.

I tried a "gpupdate /force" on the 2003 DC, then a "secedit..." on the TS,
even rebooted the TS, to no avail. User profiles only get created on the C:\
as usual.

Why does it work from the AD Users and Computers "Terminal Services Profile"
box?
