Lost Pofile

[kings23]

I am setting up policies on my network for 2k pro machines and I created a roaming profile and then copied it to a server. In User Manager for Domains I put in the profile path of where I wanted that user to pull their new profile from. It worked but when I took out the profile path so she could pull from her origional profile on a different server all her desktop settings were gone. I found out that the profile I pulled from copied over the local profile and deleted everything in the My Documents folder and all shortcuts of excel, folders, drives, etc. on the desktop. I want to get the origional profile back but it changed her profile on the server also. Is there a way to restore this old profile? I can't find one. Thanks

Doesn't the profile exist on the 'other' server - 'so she could pull from her origional profile on a different server '

I put an FAQ on Roaming profiles in the Citrix Solutions forum. It's a bit out of date, since it concentrates on NT4, but should be mostly relevant on a theoretical level.

At first glance, it looks like you created a roaming profile in one location, then "told" the user to look somewhere else for it, in a location in which no profile existed. As soon as the user logged in, the non-existant profile overwrote the local one.

Try pointing the user back to the original loaction in UMD - that should at least get back the working profile.

Hope this helps CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
