Roaming Profiles

[Mturner]

Hi all

i have had for a while now working fine a w2k pro logging on to an NT 4 server domain, all users have roaming profiles, which i created by creating the user, setting the home directory and the user profle path etc then going in to there home directory and createing a file called NTuser.dat, that has worked fine, now i try to do it and the users logon and they get a message: windows cannot load the locally stored profile, contact your network administrator

Detail - the system has attempted to load or restore a file into the registry, but the specified file is not in a registry file format.

i have reset all the file permissions on the entire drives to everyone full controll with no luckm Please help!!!!

feel free to ask for anymore information, and if there are any "server Rights" people out there my server is in great risk of being hit with an axe!


thank you very much

This means that the locally cached copy of the profile may contain changes and the central copy does not reflect this,,,

Microsoft said about this Error :
An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry.

If you created a file called ntuser.dat and this gets downloaded to the workstation everytime a user logs into a Windows NT Workstation or 2000 Workstation, no wonder your registry is having problems. The registry for 2000 and NT is 2 files the first one is ntuser.dat the second is UsrClass.dat. Accompanying these files are 2 log files both with the same name but with the .log extension. Could it be possible that every user is overwritting their own registry everytime they log in. Just a thought.
