XP - Roaming Profile issue. One pc having issues.

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a mind melt with this latest issue a client has reported.

I have spent many a hour trying to fix it, need some fellow tech knowledge.

Scenario
SBServer 2003
3 User domain
3 PCs all XP
1 user has this issue, all others are fine.

User logs into PC 1 - profile loads okay from the roaming profile, when user makes changes to the desktop and logs out it saves okay with no error, apon next login everything is working as it should.

User logs into PC 2 next - the profile loads fine as it was changed from PC 1 as it should.
User makes a change and logs out, it saves fine no errors.

User logs into PC 3 next - the profile loads fine as i was changed from PC 2 as it should. User makes changes to the desktop and goes to log out, the user then gets this issue everytime on this computer, it pops up saying windows cannot copy the local documents and settings profile to the server path. Event viewer shows the error as Access is Denied.

The 3 pcs all in the same OU, all group policies are applied to the OU.

The user is applied admin rights via group policy per pc.

Really not got a clue and google hasn't been much help.

Okay.

Can this problem be replicated if you have one of the other users do the same - i.e., log into PC1, save stuff/log out, same into PC2, etc., or is it just *this* user on PC3?

Hi rharland2009,

It's just the one user having this issue, everyone else can login and make changes no problem.

I have tried a few time to delete the profile and log the user in and pull a fresh profile in.

The profile appears fine in documents and settings and I tested this. Aslong as the person makes no changes to the desktop the profile message doesn't pop up on logout.

No other user has any issues, they can change files and logout and the profile updates.

Thanks.

Just a side question in conjunction with my last post, did you create the default profile?

If so, did you remove the generic login name from ntuser.dat file?

If not you will need to do this as well or it can cause issues throughout the process as well.

Let us know,
