Profile problem.

[jspelthorne]

Hi every 1,
its been over a month now since the begging of term and i started to think every think at the college is ok, but its not, our student users are set up with mandatory profiles as you don't get problems with these like roaming profiles, but i have started to get a few problems, the problem is that a student was trying to log in and error message appeared saying it cannot find the profile, but it does not have 1, so i check the account in AD and the profile path is pointing in the right direction,to the empty mandatory 1, then i logged in to the PC that the student was using and found a locally stored profile in docs and settings which i deleted, then i got the student to log in, which they did with no problems, the same happend to another student, done the same as before, but the student could not login, told the student to login on another PC, and they did with no problem?? Also should there be profiles stored locally if they have mandatory 1s?
Can some 1 help me please, to make matters worse the other tech is sick, so im trying to support over 200 users!

If users will only log on to Windows 2000- or Windows XP-based computers, the user profile path should point to a folder name and the path should not include either the .usr or .man extension. If the folder that you specify in the user profile path does not exist, it is automatically created the first time that the user logs on.

If these are XP machines, you need to set Group Policy to disable asynchronous processing of the logon.
