Problems with Roaming Profiles with 2008 R2 Domain
I have three computers that I regularly use at home, so I have configured one of them with Server 2008 R2 and I am running Win7 Ultimate on the Desktop and Laptop.
I have configured the server to act as an Active Directory Domain Control, and I am using Roaming profiles, but I have had serious problems getting anything to work. I have configured my profile such that:
Profile Path: \\Lust\Users\Carl
Home Folder: Connect O: To: \\Lust\Users\Carl
I have also created a GPO for Domain Admins (Carl is a member of the Group Domain Admins) and set up folder redirection such that:
Advanced - Specify locations for various user groups
Group SIN\Domain Admins
Path \\Lust\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop ...etc
\\Lust\Users is a shared folder and I have configured sharing and security access to give full control to: SYSTEM, carl@sin.x, Sin\Domain Admins, Lust\Administrators
However I am having huge problems installing software etc. Trying to install Office on the laptop results in an error (Access Denied when trying to install fonts), and other programs get the error Failed to expand shell constant folder "userdocs".
Furthermore, I had previous configured the profile to have home folders located on a VHD F:\Users\Carl, however despite the fact that I have replaced this, I still get an error message: F:\Users\Carl refers to a location that is unavailable every time I open an explorer window on either the laptop or the server.
Any ideas on what I have configured wrong?
