Terminal Server 2003 Will not save User Profiles
Hello all, Thi shas been driving me nuts all day and it will very likely be a quick fix. Anyway the issue:
We are using a Windows Server 2003 Standard as a Terminal Server. The Remote Desktops we will be using will be running an application from the get go, so the User doesn't see the desktop nor anything else.
The issue I am getting is I cannot get a User profile to save unless that user has Domain admin rights. As we also run a couple of other Terminal servers I have configured the problmatic one to be identical for a user to logon and retain the user profile.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Check the permissions on the c:\Documents & settings folder on the terminal server. Confirm "domain users" have access. ( I would think they need read/write access here to create thier profile folder.)

Hi Korbus thanks for that prompt reply,
I've checked that, I've put that is but unfortunalty still no joy. I have a Terminal Server User group assigned in the Permissions already with Red/Write access, so technically I had already done that.
Still an issue I'm afraid.

hmmm,
Just a guess: There is a settings in Active Directory where you can specify a users terminal server profile folder, might want to check that (leave black to use default location). Check the roaming profile setting while you're there.
Is the Terminal Server User group a domain group, or local group, not that it shoul really matter? Only because it seems so likIey, I would double check your users are members of that group.

Hi The Group is a Security Group so I'm saying a Domain Group and all users are a members.
All Profile Foilder setting are blank but I will check the roaming profile settings...
Otherwise exactly the same setup for the other terminal Servers... but still not keeping the profiles. unless they are a Domain admin right.

Very Odd. Time for a sanity check: grant EVERYONE full access (temp only!!) to the profile folders and try again.
Also, when the non-admin user is actually logged on, does thier profile folder exist at that time?
Can the user go into the documents & settings folder and create sub folders?
(repetative I know, but that's all I can think of at the moment).

Hi Again Korbus, Have done that, The User does have a Profile folder when logged onto the TS
but when logged off , it then disappears. Getting quite anxious now we go live with this TS in 2 weeks.

...Alos yes when the noon admin user logs onto the desktop of TS and opens My Computer and navigates to their Profile they can add a Folder in there. Log s off and the Profile disappears again.. so Def a temp user profile being granted.
