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

What has changed in the system lately? Is this an error you get on the win2k client or any client trying to log into the domain? Does it do this for every user acct?

just to let you know nothing had changed, and it did ito on every client on the domain, i have now solved this problem, i deleated all the users and home directorys and started fresh, seemed to fix it eventually

thanks for your help

Profiles occasionally become corrupt. For this reason it's better to put profiles into a separate share rather than keep them in the home directories.

I would have thought that deleting the locally cached profiles would have been a less painful way of sorting this issue, but please take note of the tip above. You may get better performance as well.

I hope this helps. CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
