Why are roaming profiles not loading after adding new PC to network?
I have never used Roaming Profiles before but was asked to load a profile for a user on his NEW computer.
-The network has a Windows SBS 2003 with Active Directory.
-In each User's properties it says to load Profile Path \\myserver\userprofile\use
-The user's old workstation was Windows XP. The user's new workstation is Windows 7 Pro. (maybe thats why?)
-I added the workstation to a Domain and the user's domain account.
-After logging in, I did not see any batch script execute, and none of his Roaming Profile is present.
Why didn't the roaming profile transfer? Is there another step to add the roaming profile?

Permissions are good and inheritance is too. Anything else?

@Sandeshdubey: what an awesome article! it also linked me to subtopics that were of interest and use to me. Based on the reading, there are differences between and XP roaming profile and 7 roaming profiles. I'll troubleshoot what exactly are those differences when I read the technical article links. In the meantime, if you can save me time and let me know what those are, I'd appreciate it.

The article was great information but still not understanding why the Roaming Profile does not load on Windows 7. Previously, user was on Windows XP and roaming profile worked just fine. All the settings on the server level stayed intact including the script to load profiles...
