Roaming profile

[parkypoo22]

SBS 2003.


I am trying to create a roaming profile for all the users on the systems.

Here's what i have done.

Created a template user.
Set up desktop and icons etc..
Logged out of template user.

Created a folder called Roaming and shared over the network.
In each users profile setting i have set the profiles path to:

//servername/Roaming/%username%

So far so good.
I then log in and log out on each account and it automaticly creates their folder in the Roaming folder.

That seems to work. Great.

HOWEVER, the whol point of me doing this was so that i could copy over the users settings from the template user by going - control panel, systems, advanced, userprofiles, and then selecting copy and trying to paste on to each user file in the user directory.

The problem is that it just says i dont have access rights even though i do.

I cant even look in the folders created in the roaming file as it pops up saying " Access os denied"

Am i being stupid or something... im logged on as administrator??!!

Cheers guys


help would be appreciated!

I would try two things...

1. Logging in as the user.
2. Taking ownership of the user profile folder.
