Question : Roaming Profiles

Hi I have just setup a new SBS 2008 box.

I have transferred all files from the old 2003 box.

I need roaming profiles, i have put in the correct path into the user profile in AD and given the folder read write permissions for the user.

Not sure what else to try.

Answer : Roaming Profiles

Below r the instructions:--

To setup roaming profiles, first log onto your server and open Active Directory users and Computers. Right click on a user; choose properties and the click the profiles tab. In the profile box type the UNC path of the shared folder you made on the server. For example you would type:

\\servername\profiles\%username%

Where servername is the name of your server and the profiles folder is on the root of the C drive. Do not type in the users name at the end but make sure it says %username% like in the example.

Make sure you have created this profiles folder and shared it with the same name as the folder. You can leave the share permissions wide open if you want because the %username% will create the users profile with permissions that grant only the user the right to view the contents.

The next time the user logs in, the users local profile will be copied to the new profiles folder on the server creating a new folder with the users name and permissions set up so that only the user can access it.
