Hi,

Go to Active Directory Users and Computers (start>>run>>dsa.msc) on a DC and locate the user (which you wanted to know the profile location)>>Right click and select properties>>Profile tab>>There will be profile path mentioned here.

This is the way you can identify the roaming profile location.

its not on there
Then i suspect that the user has roaming profile?. One more test is login to the machine as admin privileged user>>Control panel>>User Accounts>>Configure advanced user profile properties>>Is the user listed? if so, select the user>>click change type>>which one is showing ?
yes - roaming is enabled.

On the workstation go to the following registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

All user who have logged in will be listed by their SID. Check an view the properties of each SID. This may or may not contain what you are looking for.
hi,

the information required is not in that registry hive.

thanks,
