Roaming Profiles Windows Server 2008

I have four terminal servers, two running server 2003 and two running server
2008. My roaming profiles work when I log onto the servers running 2003,
however, they are not being carried over when I log onto server 2008. To
confuse the situation even more, my two servers running 2003 have Citrix
installed. While the other two we use RDP instead of Citrix. Our goal is to
elimiate Citrix all together, however, we need to continue using the two
server running 2003 until we can replace those. Does anyone have and
information they can offer?

You might be best off posting in m.p.windows.terminal_services, but note
that sharing roaming or TS profiles between OS versions always causes
problems in my experience, and is best avoided.

Hello teenzbutler,

In earlier 2008 OS you have so called version 1 profiles and Vista AND 2008
use V2 profiles, that will cause your problems. See here more details:
