Premiere Pro issues - How to you have your user home folder connected in AD?

[Jaan]

Following on from this thread: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/enterprise-software/225709-adobe-premier-pro-hangs-loading-exporterquicktimehost-prm.html

 

i've started a new thread as this is more a AD home folder question.

 

I have a issue with Premiere Pro where i seem to have pinned to how to user home folder is set up in AD.

 

If home folders are configured like this:

 

staff

\\domainname.net\staff$\%username%

 

Premier pro fails to load. Hangs on "Loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.prm"

 

We use this method as when we create new users, the folder structure is created automatically along with the user specific ntfs file permissions. This ties into Folder redirection also.

 

Students are configured the same way, and also have Adobe Premier Pro Hanging on "Loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.prm"

 

student

\\domainname.net\2019$\%username%

 

Folders for staff and students are shared at "staff$" and year "2019$" level (depending of year of course). With NTFS file permissions allowing or disallowing access.

 

We also have a "year6" account we use for any primary schools that might visit.

 

this is configured like this.

 

\\domainname.net\%username%$ as its a single account that multiple users might use.

 

Premiere pro loads fine.

 

Changing any of the staff or student accounts to match that of the "year6" account resolves the issue with Premiere Pro. Changing the year6 account to match that of the students or staff member results in Premiere pro not loading. Hanging on "Loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.prm"

 

Just wanted to ask people how you have your folders setup and connected to your user home folder in AD. And if you have Premiere loading.

 

i'd be interested in knowing if anybody has:

\\domainname.net\2019$\%username%

\\domainname.net\staff$\%username%

 

with premiere pro loading

 

or if you have:

\\domainname.net\%username%$

 

with premiere pro loading

 

 

Any help would be great thanks.

I haven't been using profiles for years now - since 2014. Maybe you should consider dropping them as an option?

Sorry i've been using the wrong terminology here..... thanks for highlighting that.

 

Home folders NOT User profiles.

 

I've updated the thread thanks for pointing that out FN-GM, not sure if your response still applies.

I put separate SSDs in the workstations for premiere and wrote instructions on how to set your project/scratch disks up on the second disk.

Sorry - I thought each of your users had their own roaming profile.
