Roaming Profiles

Hey Guys,

Every time a user logs into a xp pro system with server 2003 profile.

The profile is copied from the server to the documents and settings folder.

Is there a way so that only the user to which that profile belongs to can access that folder when loggin into the computer locally or even on the domain, even is that user is the local administrator?

Please guide.
Thanks

Not that I know of, if they are an administrator then they will be able to take ownership if they really want access to the data.  That is why you have to limit administrators.

If they are set as a local administrator they will be able to access all local folders. You have to remove the local admin privs.
Normally you don't want to deny administrators access to profile folders. If the user gets an issue with the profile it will be a lot harder for you to troubleshoot.

Keep it simple - set a standard and don't make any exceptions.
Also, the administrators should be aware that peeking in other users "private" folders is a no-no. Many countries even have national laws that forbidd you from doing so.

Trust your employees and coworkers.
