Copy Profile over to server - option greyed out


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am now realizing that when a user moves pc's, its not productive to need to copy his data over from one machine to another. I want to start using roaming profiles.

I created a share d:\profiles\user1, only user1 and admin have FULL control of that folder, no users have any control.

I setup under profiles tab under AD users and computers, that its profile path should be \\computername\profiles\user1 (i can access this share remotly, its setup corectly)

So now nothing happens, i log in/out of the domain, my directory is empty, i read someplace that i need to COPY over my current profile over to the server (from my computer -> properties -> advanced -> User profiles/settings.

When i select MY profile, the DELETE and COPY TO options are greyed out, the other profiles are NOT!

When i goto CHANGE TYPE - the ROAMING option is also greyed out !!!

** YES I HAVE RESTARTED , AND LOGGED IN AS ANOTHER USER (LOCAL/DOMAIN ADMIN) - STILL GREYED OUT **

ANy ideas here? Is this the next step to make my profile roaming (once i get this setup i can apply it to the entire network one by one..)

Figured it out, i think. Default you can't have roaming profiles for domain admins. DUH!

My second problem was permissions with the folder, i need to give EVERYBODY full control , then limit everything via ntfs permissions (only user has access to their profile directory)

I logged into a pc as a user, logged out, took for ever!! now the profile is copied !!
