Win 7 client not logging into win 2003 domain properly
Currently all clients are xp and have no issues logging into the server.
I am replacing one of the xp computers with a Win7 machine. The user and password are accepted, but roaming profile, folder redirection, and script processing (via group policy) is not taking place.
Any thoughts?

I think what NRhode means is that the Policies under Windows 7 are different than those for XP. You can import the ADMX files to the central Group Policy store on your servers by copying the files into the SYSVOL directory.

But before blaming the policy definitions, let's first see if there's a scoping issue or something else preventing application of the policy.
Try gpresult first.

On the client computer check the event log application/system you will get evidence to troubleshoot further.

Strange, when I logged on the win7 machine a second time, the redirected folders appeared, and the login script processed. Profile data was missing, which makes sense.
From what I have read, the profile and redirection data has changed for Win7. The number of machines I will have going onto Win7 is small and I can start fresh on profiles and redirection. From what I am reading above, the Group Policy changes are for 2008, can they also be used in 2003? If so does it create any problems for the machines remaining on xp?

Run gpresult.exe from an elevated command prompt and see which GPO's are being applied to the user you are logged in as.
