I'm setting up a few people with rights to access our server via Remote
Desktop. This is on Server 2003, which is also PDC. I don't want
profiles to be stored on the C:\ drive for space considerations, so I
have created a folder on the D: drive for Terminal Services Profiles.
In each users profile, I add the path to this location in the Terminal
Services Profile Tab
ex: \\server-name\d$\Terminal Services Profiles\username

Somehow, I've messed up the security on these folders. Now, when one of
the users that is not a member of the Domain Admin group tries to log in
they get a message saying:

---------------
Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is
attempting to log you on with your local profile....possible cause of
this error include...or insufficient security rights.

Detail - Access is denied.
---------------

Here are the permissions on the top level folder:
Administrators: full
Creator Owner: Special- create files/write data create folders
Users: modify, read, execute, write, list folders, special

Before I messed up the security, and I have no idea what I did, if I put
a path in the users TS Profile, a folder with their username would
automatically be create (I think). But now this will not happen - and if
I create the folder, I still get the error above.

Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Mike Bailey
