Roaming Profile

Make sure in your user account profile there is a drive mapped for your profile to be stored.

I have had a lot of experience with roaming profiles. First of all if the profile is grayed out make sure you are logging on to the server as administrator. Next make a shared drive on your server and name it profiles. Then go to user manager fordomains. In the profile path type in the path to the profile. as follows : \\servername\sharename\%username%. say your server is named server1 and the share you created is called profiles. then you would type \\server1\profiles\%username%

The %username% syntax will automatically create a profile folder for that user and add the permissions for that user only. This is the best way I know to tell you and this is what has worked best for me.

you can't not remove the profiles if you logon as a user, logon as administrator or user has admin right.

Thank you everybody for your responses, but i try everything from; Making sure that i have a drive mapped for my profile to be stored, and \servername\sharename\%username% and still don't work. help?

Set all the roaming profile users to be in the Domain Admins group. It gives them enough access to save profiles to UNC,s while not allowing full administrative access.

Before setting up profiles, a service needs to be installed. "Client for Microsoft Networks". Until this service is installed the roaming profiles selection will be greyed out
After installing the service, make sure Client for Microsoft Networks is selected as the Primary Network Logon client.
After this is completed, you can begin to use these other suggestions to setup the rest of roaming profiles.
