Windows 2003 terminal server.

I used to have a roaming profile. But have not used it in over a year.
eveytime I log into the TS It tries to look for my roaming profile. I
confirmed in my AD account that there is nothing in the profile path.

I got to local profiles on the TS and do not even see my name, just three
account unknown - I logg in as domain admin and cannot 'delete' them from
user profiles in My Computer, Properties......

I am building a new terminal server right now. I used my account to log in
and test the settings. On this new server it again, tried to load my roaming
profile.

Where is this setting that is controlling this?

Thanks,

SJMP
 
RE: Terminal Server and Profiles

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Do you try to log onto the TS server locally or via RDP?

If you log onto the TS server via RDP, please check the Profile path
attributes both in Profile tab and Terminal Services Profile tab of the
user account.

To further investigation of the issue, please help to collect the following
information:

1. On the new Terminal server, run "regedit" to open registry editor. Check
the following key and values:

- KEY: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<SID of the user account that encounters this
issue>
Value: CentralProfile & ProfileImagePath

2. Check the event log to verify whether there is any related error or
warning events.
