Roaming Profiles not working properly for 1 user "Daniel Mazur" <newsgroups[ at ]compits.net> 12/11/2008 10:47:25 AM I have recently setup roaming profiles for several users and it's working great. However, not so for 1 user. The failure is that on the workstation shutdown the changes made by the user are not uploaded to the server where the "Profile Path" is directed. It does download data from profile path during the bootup process, but that is only half the job. I need changes made on the workstation to propogate to the server so that backups can be made of recent changes, and so the data is accessed from the profile during terminal sessions or logon from other workstations as is a benifit of roaming profiles. I don't believe there are any setting errors on the Small Business Server. I have logged into the profile from other workstations, created test files on the local desktop, restarted the workstation and verified the test files were propogated to the server profile location. What have I missed? Again, one workstation does not upload changes to the server location where the roaming profile is stored, but does download them from this location at startup. The service works properly with this same profile from other workstations, but not from one specific computer. The problematic workstation is a laptop with a wired network connection. The service works properly, uploading and downloading in the profile path on the server from other laptop and desktop locations. The Server is Windows SBS 2003. Profile path is entered in the ADUC, and was tested from the failing workstation to have read and write access. There is no script, no folder redirect for mydoc's or anything else. Cache was taken off the share, and like I said it is working perfectly from all other computers. All service packs are installed on server and workstations, and I get the same results regardless of any profile I log onto from the failing workstation. I have even disabled windows firewall, and removed anti virus programs. I'm lost, any ideas? Thanks, Dan

Did you try just deleting the one profile everywhere and starting again?

Re: Roaming Profiles not working properly for 1 user "Daniel Mazur" <newsgroups[ at ]compits.net> 12/16/2008 12:31:34 PM Yes, I did. It continues to work on all computers but the same problem continues on the one laptop. I am considering a reformat of it at this point.
