Re: Unable to copy roaming user profile

Hi Everyone,

I recently created a roaming profile called "template" (as a template
for all user profiles). I am done configurating

There's no such word - it's "configuring" :-)

the profile. When I
log onto the workstation using my admin account and select User
Profiles, the Copy To button is greyed out. How do I copy the User
Profile?

How did you create the initial profile/user to begin with? I'm presuming
you're just trying to standardize all your new domain users' default
settings; the fact that you intend those users to have roaming user profiles
doesn't matter....

Try removing the roaming profile path settings from the new template user's
ADUC properties and log in as that user again.
Then log in as your domain admin /equivalent account and try using "copy to"
on that user account.
Copy it to the path: \\yourdomaincontroller\netlogon\Default User
Set "allowed to use" to "everyone."

Now, all new users you create in the domain will inherit all the Default
User settings such as you customized in your template account - and you can
set up those domain users with roaming profiles merely by filling in the
profile path in ADUC.


I am logging into the workstation using my Domain Admin account. The
file server hosting the profile have permissions setup properly.

Thank you,
