    Roaming Profiles - Problem with User Desktop

    I need help to configure Windows 2003 Server. I had created a roaming profile here and also enabled folder redirection. I had did this through group policy. This was done for application data and for my documents. In short I had configured the entire desktop for redirection. Now when I login it captures the copy of the profile from server and move the same to pc so that default settings are applied. But it is not working on all desktop. It is only working on some pc.

    This is a bug with roaming profile. You cannot do anything in that. I had got the same issue on Windows 2000 and yet it is not resolved. I had reconfigured the same thing a number of time but still the problem remains the same. You can try working on the pc only where the profiles are not applied. Just reconfigure it once again and then see.

    I am getting the same thing. I had seen roaming profiles are not really so effective in usage. They get this kind of issue commonly. When there is some changes in the server edition the workstation gets update from the same. So that the changes can be applied to the desktop. But things does not look working well. There can be problem with the profile settings also.

    In folder redirection do not set it to the local user profile
    Set it instead to:
    \\Server\Profile Share\Desktop
    In other words, set it directly to the server. This means when something is created or deleated it is deleats directly instead of just the local profile.
