changing from roaming profiles to gpo

[chrbb]

The users currently have a roaming profile - the profile path is set in the profile line in AD. I'm intending to do away with these profiles.

I've had an idea what to do - I've recently done a clean install of xp on one of the computers, so I might copy that computer's default profile to one of the computers with the default profile that causes me a problem. then see if my gpo is being picked up.

Sorted now! Cleared all old profiles off suite computers and have made new default user profile. gpo applying ok.

 

Thanks for all suggestions learnt alot about default profiles this week and now going to lie down in v. dark room maybe even room 101!

Don't you love the feeling when you finally solve a problem like that! Wouldn't venture near room 101, tad controversial in there!

 

Glad you solved it, I learned a bit myself from trying to help you on this thread, including the whole idea of ditching roaming profiles which we currently use for our staff. The idea of not having a network profile as such and letting GPO do all the work appeals, as we do get a lot of issues with profiles. Currently investigating myself!
