The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Server 2008 Roaming Profiles not working

Asked by usslindstrom in Windows Server 2008

Experts,

Would somebody be able to point me in the right direction?  I've recently migrated (still in the process of actually) from a SBS 2003 environment to a 2008 one, with separate DC / Exchange / File Servers.  *one heck of a upgrade*

Unfortunately, with the Serv2k8 setup, I'm having some problems getting Roaming profiles to work as they should.

I've followed:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757013(WS.10).aspx  to a T.  As I did when I was in the 2003 enviornment - when everything was working.

My permissions match that technet article exactly, but whenever an end user tries to log in, they're given an error that their roaming profile cannot be located, so the machines creates a local profile for them - to be deleted on logoff.

As a side note, I have the user's home directory mapped to a share on the exact same server with the same folder permissions, and those work like a champ.  However, I think the reason that those are working, where the profiles fail - is that when I create a user in AD it creates the home folder at the same time, where as profiles aren't created until the user actually logs in.  So, from Domain Admin permissions to make the home folder - to user permissions trying to make the profile folder...

Either or, I'm at a stump right now.  And as I mentioned before, these are the exact same permissions I had on the SBS 2003 box where roaming profiles were in fact working.

Any ideas that can be thrown into the mix would be greatly appreciated.

**On that server the user share is:   \\server\users    While the profile share is \\server\profiles$
