Am using SBS 2002 with 5 nodes with Windows XP SP3 - one of the nodes was
formatted yesterday. In one node, except for one profile, no other roaming
profile is working. The same is the situation with the new installation.

I shall appreciate if some one can guide where I am going wrong.

Thanking you in advance,

How about your settings? Can you post?
Much more details needed.

Re: Roaming profile not working on two nodes

Are all 5 client workstations XP Professional? Home edition is bad...

Were all 5 clients joined to the domain using the connectcomputer wizard?
That sets up the account in AD with the appropriate memberships to security
groups to access a default roaming profile setup.

If you haven't gathered, my first instinct is that the machine cannot access
the profile share and thus the roaming profile cannot be loaded. Whether
that share cannot be accessed because of a setup issue or wrong OS, or some
other piece of info I haven't listed...remains to be seen. But that's where
I'd start.

Re: Roaming profile not working on two nodes

Dear Cliff,

I am using Windows XP Professional in all nodes.

My SBS has been working uninterupedly for the past 3 years and when ever I
formatted a node and connected to the domain, it got connected and the
profiles worked. I never used the connectcomputer wizard.

Have posted the event logs as asked by Holz prior to you.

Thanking you,

R. K. Khandelwal

Re: Roaming profile not working on two nodes

As I indicated in my previous post, the roaming profile share cannot be
accessed. Of course, what I didn't know at the time was the WHY. But your
logs indicate that your machine's account password does not match the
password in Active Directory. This is usually caused because a machine was
not properly added using the connectcomputer wizard. You will have to
unjoin the computer from the domain, delete the account in AD, and then
rejoin the domain. That'll create a new account with a new password and
allow the computer to properly authenticate. Once it is authenticating it
*should* be able to access the roaming profile share, assuming those
permissions are correct. I have no reason to believe the permissions are
wrong though, being other computers roam properly.

Re: Roaming profile not working on two nodes

Cliff,

Thanks for your advice. I have followed it and had to recreate the profiles.
Fortunately, I do not have many users and so was able to do it.

Can someone guide me of learning how to deploy the settings from one site
and to restrict internet to users?

Thanking you once again.
