Recently, the company I work for as been experiecing alot of NIMDA virus problems. No, we have not shut down or anything like that, but we are keeping it stablized. But my question is, every new user we set up on our network, (NT Server) is havingproblems finding their profile. No, we have not changed anything to pertaining to user set up and their profiles they are set up just like any user, but the new users that are set up gives them an error after they have changed their password saying'you do not have access to your profile. You will be logged on as a temporary.' We have checked everything possible. Can you please advise!!!!!

maybe this is what you looking for:

If you receive:
Windows cannot update your roaming profile. Contact your network administrator. DETAIL - Access is denied

when you logoff, using a roaming profile, you have a permissions problem.

This behavior is the same in a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 domain, but is different based upon the client platform.

A Windows 2000 clients needs Full Control on the share, because it must write extended attributes.

A Windows NT 4.0 client only requires Change permission on the share.

Both clients require Full Control NTFS permissions on their folder and List Folder Contents, Read and Write on the share (parent) folder.

1) On client's PC remove their profile's directory at \%systemroot%\profiles\username
Then ask them to logon again. See whether it helps u or not.

2) If you are using Roaming profiles then check that users have proper permissions on the profilesdirectory.
