Roaming Profiles
Hi
I'm studying course 70-290 and I have a question, for creating roaming profiles I did what the course said, which is creating hidden
shared folder and changing the profile field in the user properties to \\servername\profiles$\%us
that I got is when trying to make that profile mandatory, as administrator on the server I couldnt have access to the users folder to change
the .dat extension and if I take ownership then the user who I made his profile roaming cant have access to his folder so how this problem
can be solved ?
Thank you

yes i did what you asked me but it failed also, i added the user to ntfs permissions with full control it didnt work also, i remember the first time i made it it worked fine, when i took the ownership it stoped working whatever i make
thanks
thanks
Do they have Full Control on the hidden share as well?
Make the user the owner of the folder, login as the user and see if you can change the NTUSER.DAT file?

hi
the profiles folder was on the C drive, i removed it and made new one on D drive, the administrator
already had access seems the group policy worked but maybe it didnt work when the profiles share was on c

but now when i change the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man and i make the user log off and login i notice that the extension goes back as ntuser.dat very strange :)
The profiles are stored on a server, right? Keep the ntuser.dat file like it is. Login as the user, then logout. Login as administrator, change the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man, logout and then login as the user again.
Apparently the user must login once before you can change the file... Doesn't really make sense...
Let me know!

Take ownership, make the changes and transfer ownership back to the intended user. It's starnge that if you transfer ownership that the user can't access their own folder.
Did you give them Full Controll access on NTFS?
