windows 2003 roaming profiles...
Ive set up roaming profiles for a couple useres on my 2003 SBS. I fond out that i can only access the user folders if im logedin as the user, even administrator cant access the fodlers. Is there a way i can have my administrative account access the useres roaming profiles?
also a side question. Is there a way to have new useres i create automaticaly have the profile path entered? sort of like a template that maps the path to \\servername\profiles\%use
i tried using the user templates and entereing exactialy that but it just ends up changing the variable to DefaultUserTemplate, which is the template name.

i do that then when the user tries to sign on the domain again they cant access their profile.
After you become the owner of those folders, you can then assign full access privilege to the users.

i believe i did that, ill have to try it again tomarow
First off.... sounds like a security issue... Admins have rights to all folders in 2003.
When was the last time you rebooted 2003? I found that security can get wacked...and with a reboot...HMM.. IT WORKS again.
Try that...

for your side question, I use the properties of the user object in ADU&C to set the path of the profiles folder, and home directory, I set up a template to have all of that for all of my standard users.
for the admins to have access to the users profiles folder I give administrator FC permission from the parent folder and it should be applied to all subfolders.
I hope that helps

About the roaming profiles...
if you dont make the folder your self and then add the user with full privlages this ehnds up happening. I let the folder created its self when the suer signed on the doamin, which lead me to this problem. I think infotaider thing worked as well.
Eaa97, ADU&C.. Active directory Useres and control? explain plese....
