Re: Mandatory Profile Nightmares!

Does the CSE client need to be install on the Windows 2003 servers in my
domain?

If possible ditch using manatory profiles. With Windows 2008 you can do SO
much now with Group Policy instead. In your case I would suggest managing
Group Policy on the Windows 2008 DC. Install the CSE updates on your
computers so they can take advantage of all the new Group Policy options.
Redirected Folders can be used if there is a need to have user
documents/desktop replicated to server.

HI all,

This is my first post on this forum. I am having a whale of a time
setting up Mandatory Profiles on my network.

I have 2 DC, one running 2008, the other running 2003. I have
computers running Xp and Vista.

I have all of my users set to create their own profiles in a network
share creatively titled "profiles". I have a user profile titled "kids"
that was created by logging on as "kids" on an xp machine, and I have a
folder called "kids.v2" which was created by logging on as "kids" on a
vista machine. This seems to be normal from what I understand.

The weird part happens when I try to make these profiles Mandatory. In
the xp created folder, "kids", it has the file ntuser.dat that you would
expect to see. I can change it to ntuser.man and it makes that profile
mandatory. All is good.

The problem is that inside of my "kids.v2" folder there is no file
called ntuser.dat. I have a file called ntuser.ini, but renaming that
doesnt do anything.

Has anybody seen this before? I'm certain I'm not the first person to
deal with this. Please Help!!

thanks

David
