I have put up a new server on the same domain and have been able to copy over approximately 1/2 of the user profiles (roaming) that are on my network. However, the balance of them give me access denied, or file in use errors when I try to copy the profile. I have taken ownership of the profile, as well as made sure the particular people are logged out of the network.

Is there an easier way to move the profile to the new server without the hassle I'm experiencing?

Thanks

As I stated the users are logged out, and in most cases the machines are even shut down. Did all of this change as administrator, even to taking ownership of the profiles, however, still have some that will not copy. Thanks for trying, but am familiar with roaming profiles, etc. Just cannot understand why I cannot move the profile from one server in the domain to another server in the same domain.

Thanks for the followup info. Is the server running Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or better; or, is it a Windows 2003 server?

My team and I are discussing this one amongst ourselves as we haven't seen this issue before and are interested in the resolution.

it's a w2k server with current service packs and updates. i haven't seen this before either so I'm perplexed as well. Let me know if you come up with something. Thanks!!
