windows 7 roaming profile issues
Windows 7 professional machine
X86 SP1
Member of a domain
Just set up the server for roaming profiles
Any user logging on to this machine creates user.V2 folder in the roaming profiles share but does not upload any content
Same user logging on to brand new PCs that I have built on the network work properly, other PCs that were built by my predecessor don’t update the network share
So I suspect a setting somewhere on those PCs
Group Policy results are the same for users on the different machines built by me and not built by me
I’ve searched google but can’t see anything that may be relevant

Hi lionelmm
thank you for your response
i ran the command for the problem user and on the problem PC
i think the relevat section is this:
RSOP data for CXXXXXXXXX\nxxx.sxxxxx on CXXXXXXX : Logging Mode
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -----
OS Configuration: Member Workstation
OS Version: 6.1.7601
Site Name: Default-First-Site-Name
Roaming Profile: \\cxxxxx\roamingprofiles$\ nxxx.sxxxx x.V2
Local Profile: C:\Users\nxxx.sxxxxx
Connected over a slow link?: No
however this looks exactly the same as the output for a user that works on a PC that works
RSOP data for CXXXXXXX\profile on CXXXXXXX : Logging Mode
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -
OS Configuration: Member Workstation
OS Version: 6.1.7601
Site Name: Default-First-Site-Name
Roaming Profile: \\cxxxxxxxx\roamingprofile s$\profile .V2
Local Profile: C:\Users\profile
Connected over a slow link?: No
this is a new test user named 'profile'
testing with the user mentioned above nxxx.sxxxxx on teh PC that works uploads the profile files properly
the 2 PCs were in different OUs in ADUC, the non working PC has been moved to teh same OU as the working PC with no effect
could you give me some pointers of where to go next?
thank you

Accepted answer: 0 points for laurence childs's comment #a40376570
for the following reason:
the expert was very helpful
i just dont have the time to work through an extended problem solving exercise when it was quicker to trash the problem profile and start again

thank you
the whole process was taking up too much time so I’ve just created a fresh profile for the user in question on his new PC
that PC /user combo is working properly
I will wipe and rebuild the 'old' PC
