Re: roaming user profiles do not transfer all settings

it NTUSER.DAT is newer on those computers, or is set to be a local 

profile under the user settings, it will load it from the computer 

versus what is on the server.  delete the profiles on the computer 

(after backing them up to c:\temp) and then try again

don't get the same profiles when logging in from different computers.

    sounds like you didn't copy the user's NTUSER.DAT.  how did you
    copy the profile?  drag and drop from c:\documents and
    settings\username to \\server\profiles\username or did you go to
    my computer properties, advanced, users, and change their profile
    to roaming and copy their profile with the copy button there to
    \\servers\profiles\username?

        this may sound like a basic question but i'm not entirely sure how
        roaming profiles work so i'm not sure if i have it working
        properly. i
        created a local user account on a client machine and then
        joined that
        machine to the domain. i then logged in as domain
        administrator and
        copied the user profile from the local machine to the server. if i
        login with this user account (now the domain account) from another
        machine, i can see the files that are supposed to be there but
        everything else like the wallpaper, shortcuts, and windows
        styles are
        not correct.... is roaming profiles supposed to work like
        this??? or
        are you supposed to have the EXACT user settings no matter what
        machine you log onto???
