After a rather lengthy conversation and a further understanding of hardware availablility, user load and usage habits, we came to the conclusion that roaming profiles aren't the best way to go. How ever the redirection of certain required files through the use of elements of the GPO's that we could obtain the same desired effect without the hardware grinding to a halt.

Go on....

Sorted ;)

Thats the only thing I can think of, failing that there are some permissions being inherited which you need to turn off on the bits you're mapping to.

Yeh the permissions i've set to full access for that account and for the share, i know this isn't ideal in real world but for testing & make it work there on full access for now

You checked the permissions on them?

Yes i have made folders, although in edit group policy it says automatically creates these folders???

Have you made folders in \\hyldc02\Roaming Profiles\Personal

\\hyldc02\Roaming Profiles\Personal\%USERNAME%\My Documents

Set it to redirect to this location - or something like tht am not at work so can't remeber exactly - its when you go into GPO & edit Group Policy Iirc

i know roaming dekstops means you need to copy desktop to and from workstation, but something just aint setup right :boggle:

What is the new path to My Documents?

Roaming desktop means you need to copy desktop to and from workstation every time you log on/off...

right,

new job, need to impress etc and been tasked with creating roaming profiles, which will be for about half the workforce so around 200 employees...

Managed to create the roaming profile without too many problems, some tweaks need making but this ain't a problem, problems i do have are:

Redirecting My Documents folder so it actually saves on the share on the server - at the moment if you login in as the roaming profile any documents created just aren't saved - now am 99% certain this is down to permissions on access rights not being setup buts its baffling me nonetheless.

I want to setup up the desktop so only the specific created roaming icons are shown rather than the icons which are already on a workstation.

Any ideas would be most grateful, reading through a pdf at moment but its like a 1000 pages long :!

Not fantastic, but go on...

as above, long shot i know, need help though :o
