Hi All,

We in the process of migrating our terminal servers from Windows 2000
Server to Windows Server 2003. The problem we're running into is that
roaming profiles do not copy from the server for non-administrator
accounts.

We're getting three events in the application log related to this
issue, which are listed at the bottom of this message.

I've searched google and Microsoft support with no luck. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
