I have set up a folder for roaming profiles and then applied the following GPO: Computer Configuration\Policies\Adm<wbr />inistrativ<wbr />e Templates\System\User Profiles\Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles in server 2008. &nbsp;However the administrator account still cannot access the roaming profiles folder.<br />
<br />
I Initially gave the administrator full control over the folder and this did not give access to the roaming profiles folder. &nbsp;I then applied the GPO as above and then this did not work. &nbsp;If I create a new user the profile is created but I cannot access it.<br />
<br />
Please advise further ....cheers.
